I know it's fashionable to trash the Spin Doctors, but "Two Princes" is a great dumb pop single that sounded great on the radio at the time.


Remember the video, with the old fashioned subtitle cards?

old  Mac game (not sure if it was on PC too) called something like "Jewels" or something that had a soundtrack almost exactly like this "What is Love?" Eurotrash disco SNL parody Roxbury thingie

As I said before: early 90s sets are very educational for me. And the lesson I'm learning today? I didn't miss a whole lot in 1993 music-wise.

"Here We Go Again" by Portrait. Dave plays it A LOT.

Methinks thou dost protest too much!


No, Mike's right on this one: If we went back and compared the past ten 1993 sets, I guarantee that Portrait song would appear in at least seven of them.  It's a very forgettable song -- a last gasp for New Jack Swing before gangsta took over the R&B landscape -- so I can understand the seeming unfamiliarity ... but it's a definite overplay.

This was a really fun dance tune back in the day, but I bet it is now the single worst Katrina, based on total percentage of year specific sets it shows up in.  We don't hit '93 so often, but I bet Haddaway appears in Every. Single. One.

Watch Beej's avatar -- almost in sync with this "What is Love?" song.

Which, BTW, is a guilty pleasure of mine.  Loved it in "A Night at the Roxbury", a film that is also a guilty pleasure...

I never felt educated enough on NAFTA to have an opinion on it.

Almost any song from 1993 would qualify as an overplay, but I don't think the song was ever played in regular rotation on KFOG then, so it becomes kind of existential as far as Katrina-worthiness is concerned.  How many 1993 sets have there even been?

True, I think, but Haddaway appears more often even.

That didn't stop Ross Perot, why should it stop you?

BOS to this "What If I Came Knocking" song that I've never heard before.  This can't be John Mellencamp, can it?  Damn, he got a fire here.
