cab driver 1996 (top 20)

We actually enjoy a lot of these movies. Thanks S&E:


sooooooooooooooo tapped out.

"It's like meeting the girl of your dreams and then finding out she's five."

#20 Weezer "Tired Of Sex"


This fuckin guy Rivers. He's just a regular Don Johnson, isn't he? Whippin' off the towel every chance he gets. Matt Sharp & Pat Wilson achieve murderous tendencies throughout the final minute of this.


#19 Spacehog "In The Meantime"


"All The Young Dude Kids" Not inspired by the movie Kids, although some of the kids from that movie hang out in video and all of them are now probably singin' a tune to the name of 20 million dollars worth of death because they're dead.


#18 Local H "Bound For The Floor"


Scott Lucas and Joe D did the hot/cold peekaboo game with us when we were learning division tables on flashcards n shit. We looked up over the table and there they were with 45/3 ready to jam it.


#17 Dr. Octagon "Blue Flowers"


Kool Keith cut my place in line for license plates at the DMV, but it's ok. Later on we got 5 name changes all at once.


#16 Ginuwine "Pony"


Ginuwine is in that classification where you wer.e. Ginuwine's world tour requires TWO tourbuses. One for Ginuwine and one for his infinite throbbing boner, all snug and pleasant and comfy. He gets to play with teddy's and sleek salamanders searching for whatever it is that turns him on. Timbaland's burp noise is actually Timbo's dick waking up the mourning. He's pissed off and needs his coffee. "Mourning wood" can't get this man down.


#15 Weezer "I Just Threw Out The Love Of My Dreams"


Glancing often, 12 or 14 times within an hour-long period. This means equals mad DTF but all parties involved are just straight-up cleva. No words exchnaged. Try again tomorrow when lots of discovery at Bradlee's can make it alright. David Bowie's Earthling. I mean, it was there, it was right in my hand. I totally wasnt expecting to steal it but they just made it to easy for me. And then the next day in class i placed in on her desk without telling anyone who put it there. Driving away sad. (Editor's note: This never happened.)


#14 Outkast "Elevators"


slidin' up and dow. baritone saxophone section's part sounds a little silly, i dunno, maybe i'm out of my league here. (Editor's note: there's no bari sax in this song lol.)


#13 Modest Mouse "Whenever You Breathe Out I Breathe In"


Been having some breathing problems attacked to anxiousness; it makes me breathe deep. i've been tld that someone breathing in will harken the youth back into my lung. Haven't see you aroud not going to bed until flash carsd.lllll


#12 Local H "High Fivin' MF"


Massive unmovable guitar riff. "Riff of the year" and arguably of the decade and don't let the man get you down otherwise with any of that claptrap which might suggest Page & Plant or Eric Clapton Unplugged which can both suck the eggs out of the roosters cow wing.


#11 Aaliyah "If Your Girl Only Knew"


Untainted and pure. It slipped our minds that princess Aaliyah was once married to a man who appears in this list who sang about "keepin in the down low," and apparently he didn't because everyone knew about it. 'If Your Girl" is an understanding and unheralded subdued Timbo banger. Don't mess with the best.


#10 Cannibal Corpse "Devoured By Vermin"


No fear for George Corpsegrinder. He just took right over, in charger after Chris Barnes found better luck in Sex Feet Under. This should have been #1 We fucked up. Top 10 isn't bad though..


#9 Ghostface Killah "Winter Warz"


Drivin' up with Dad. Cappadonna comes up and son starts wondering about the meaning of it all. Dad made a wrong turn and stopped short to turn around. No matter to him.


#8 Failure "Smoking Umbrellas"


Yes, Doorknob was glowing. I was there, I saw it. It as great.


#7 Beck "Jack-Ass"


Havin some trouble finding the Youtube video with Willie Nelson. It's one of our favorite videos, but unfortunately not included on Beck's account. "Lose ends tying a noose in the back of my mind."


#6 Weezer "Falling For You"


Moments in life sometimes can feel as extreme as this song suggests, those extremities are often soaked in hope and nervousness and uncertainty. Just about to start learning about someone who might be amazing and the enormity of that moment. "I'm shaking at your touch." God, that bridge, and the outro. Starting to doubt self-worth the instant she doesn't immediately respond to a text or email. It's the end of the fucking world.


#5 Mark Morrison "Return Of The Mack"


Optimism is large tonight. This dude's head is slightly enormous. The Mack is the guy who busts down the double-doors and walks into the bar like "yeah, fuck you," and he's the hypothetical awesomest guy ever, and nothing can bring this guy down, so don't even fucking try. The heartache is still persistent, and sometimes he requires a scream of "OH MY GOD."


#4 Radiohead "Exit Music (For A Film)"


This very obscure hidden gem plays during the credits after Leo and Claire Danes do themselves in. Months later it was thrown in the middle of some weird album that no one's ever heard. (This is not cheating. YOURE cheating.)


#3 Jay-Z and Notorious B.I.G. "Brooklyn's Finest"


"If Faye have twins, she'd probably have two Pacs. Get it? Tupac's?" Ignore the lame Scarface intro, obviously. By the time we're 45 seconds in, Jay and Big Smalls unlocked their first trade-off. This song had no ambition of receiving radio airplay but turned into a classic of the era anyway, despite the fecal-pants chorus inspiring a young Nicki Minaj 14 years later with "Did It On 'Em."


#2 Ghost Town DJ's "My Boo"


First time around: There's definitely something distinctively "classic 90's" about a song whose drums are encouraging grind-dancing, but whose innocent lyrics, playful keyboards, and simplistic vocal melody paint images of 7th graders dreaming about their crushes while they're supposed to be workin' on their studies. Two years later we like it even better. We're actually straight up bummed we considered it a guilty pleasure as opposed to a straight up 90s jam.


#1 Aaliyah "One In A Million"


The greatest jam of all time. What more can really be said about it? Her particular style of "teen-girl subtly hinting at promiscuity" predates everyone else, albeit much more tastefully than what followed. With this song, Missy & Timbo kicked off their trippy futuristic sci-fi party. "One In A Million" is a perfect jam for the stars...

celeb jep 96 69

yo did you know 96 is inverted 69 wtf funny or die has the worst embed code fuck dem g's

We got some prolems. Norm MacDonald wrote the 1st celebrity jeopardy sketch in 1996, but then later after the sketch became "recurring" and other writers seized the brand, they did the joke where Connery says "I'll take THE RAPISTS for $200" and the category is actually "THERAPISTS" and that was straight-up stolen from Benny Hill. Benny did a sketch once where he went up to some dude's door and it say "Therapist" and he separated the nametag so that it said "The rapist," and then he mugs for the camera and the audience is all like "lmao."

If we ever get to speak to Norm MacDonald we will ask him about this because we know Norm would never stoop to intentionally stealing a Benny Hill joke. Maybe it's just one of those obvious-ass jokes.

Guess what else was in 1996? (_|_) (ass)

#91 Brainiac "Hot Seat Can't Sit Down"


"Welcome to earth." - Brainiac after punching aliens in the face in Independence Day


#90 The Presidents Of The United States Of America "Mach 5"


Apparently the brownies from the craft services table were "irresistible" during the video shoot for "Mach 5." Also POTUSA is the ultimate "3rd grade kids screaming and running around during birthday party" band. If you are a parent and your child is 9, you should buy them one of the first two POTUSA CD's. This is what good parenting is all about.

#89 The Pharcyde "Runnin'"


"It's 1995." The singles for this album were all released in '96, but we'll forgive them. "As if."


#88 Ween "You Were The Fool"


The best song from 12 Golden Country Greats still might not be able to eclipse its best moment, which is the Mohammad Ali speech that they were forced to have removed from "Powder Blue." http://youtu.be/EYphFMOs9YE?t=2m52s Although "You Were The Fool" is still A+.


#87 Guided By Voices "Official Ironmen Rally Song"


Bob wrote this one while he was drunk. The feeling is mutual.

#86 The Swirlies "In Harmony New Found Freedom"


WWJD


#85 Soundgarden "Rhinosaur"


"kinda hot in these rhinos" - matt cameron



#84 Eyehategod "Masters of Legalized Confusion"


'96 was immediately pre-"post-junkie chic" which launched in '97... so like fiona apple was cool in '96 cos she looked like she was on heroin, and then in '98 natalie imbruglia was cool cos she looked like she was going through withdrawal


#83 Local H "I Saw What You Did And I Know Who You Are"


Scott Lucas appears to have figured out how to play simultaneous distinct separate guitar and bass parts for this song.

#82 Pavement "Give It A Day"


Seems to be a fan favorite. It's aight.


#81 Tool "Ænema"


Learn ta swim. They used to play this on some "adult" oriented MTV video-block that aired daily between midnight and 12:30 circa May/June 1997, which seemed to exist solely for anyone who really enjoyed JO'ing to Fiona Apple every single night at 12:10AM.


#80 Smashing Pumpkins "Pennies"


"Spoken like a true asshole." - Chubbs from Happy Gilmour to Billy Corgan


#79 John Parish and Polly Jean Harvey "That Was My Veil"


Luv you PJ


#78 Pearl Jam "Smile"


"duuuh i dun like perl jam duhhh im a big dumass duhh" Fuck y'all. Grow up. Even as a pack of punk teen retards, we could tell this was obviously jacked from Neil Young. "I miss you already." Why wasn't this song huge? Still rules.


#77 Fountains Of Wayne "Sink To The Bottom"


Since we've already exhausted the SNL category, we might as well mention the "Bill Brasky was a son of a bitch" sketch also debuted in 1996. They should make an entire 2 hour movie of this shit: http://www.hulu.com/watch/69478


#76 DJ Shadow "What Does Your Soul Look Like (Part 4)"


Huge bass on this one. I wrote a paper about DJ Shadow freshman year of college and my teacher critiqued that he sounded "parasitic." Well yeah... That's the whole point.


#75 Rage Against The Machine "Down Rodeo"


Big ups to Tom Morello for figuring out how to make his guitar sound like a scratching turntable.


#74 Weezer "The Good Life"


"The Good Life" video showcases what we've previously described as "the world's most perfect rock band" and we wholeheartedly stand by this theory. In our humble opinions, tracks 5 through 9 on Pinkerton have some of the craziest and most dramatic bridge-sections ANYONE has yet attempted. The only reason why this isn't higher than #74 can mostly be attributed to the lyric "shakin' booty makin' sweet love all the night" which unfortunately appears in this song three times.

can i borrow a 1996 feeling?

Hey big spender, spend some dough at table 3. So much classic rainful for sale, you can't get this too many spots. Wah-pedals for half-off. This guy's son keeps a secret movie in the same trucks that they used to do that class assembly that they had out in the truck, and like, hoots the owl and there as some cat or something who they would only show with the lights off and the music got loud.

Just about ready to start gettin' pumped for some Mack an Chaayz. This portion of top 884 songs of 1996 was compiled and submitted by "the man and his boy." All da rest is straight up hype.

#153 Heltah Skeltah “Leflaur Leflah Eshkoshka”


yesh yesh y'all. this one is confusing because the Youtube calls the group "Fab 5" but elsewhere they're called "Heltah Skeltah."


#152 Destroy 2 (Eye and Chu) "24H?"


This video links to the entire album... Recorded live, Eye kicks things off announcing "WE PLAY FORTY-EIGHT SONGS," and then that's what they do within the next 10 minutes. We Are Voice And Rhythm Only is sung by Eye from Boredoms and featuring drums from Chu. Eye screams "FUCKOFF" at the end of all 48 songs. "24H?" just happens to be the longest at 39 seconds, although our favorite part is probably the sequence between tracks 18, 19 and 20: "Sky," "Sea" and "Earth" respectively.

#151 Fu Manchu “Solid Hex”


how sold is it? speed racer ass race is about to ascend past like 4 stratospheres.


#150 LL Cool J "Doin' It"


The "LL" stands for "Licks Lips." We tried to find a still or video but nothing works as well as "Doin' It." He has a lot of female callers in the video all the same voice.


#149 No Doubt "Don't Speak"


Who is the real No Doubt in this video? You n meee we usta bee togehhh-thu


#148 Chavez "Tight Around the Jaws"


"You can trouble me for a glass of shut the hell up." - Chavez, 1996


#147 Carnun "The Prophecies Of The Horned One"


"Watch out Itchy! He's Irish!" - Carnun


#146 The Fugees "Killing Me Softly"


This was the big cover. allthe kids in high school were way into singing along to this. symphonic band director was all like "she's sounds just like roberta flack. they destroyed a great song." HELL FUKCIN YEAH THEY DID. Also in the video possibly a part where someone does the trick where he opened the bottom of the popcorn so that Mister Kinnish can fit through much to the enjoyment of his ladyfriends.


#145 Rage Against The Machine "Bulls On Parade"


sdddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssdddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd fuck i fell asleep


#144 Aaliyah "Got To Give It Up"


Dat punk bitch can step off.. We can protect you aganist his wrath babygirl. Drake is very very bad. This man must be stopped.


#143 Rake "Special Agent: Rake"


This isn't the song "Special Agent: Rake" which is not on youtube but this one is pretty close so we went with it.


#142 The Verve Pipe "Photograph"


This played at Whole Foods the other day. In other news Simple Plan now gets played at SS&S. "Grocery store jams" were once a sacred concept. What happened? More Paul Davis IMO.


#141 Local H "Freeze-Dried (F)lies"


We wanted "Lovey Dovey" but couldn't find a video.. This one is really good also and Joe D destroys the kit as usual.


#140 Ween "I'll Miss You"


From some Ted Demme movie.


#139 Supergrass "Going Out"


Good video, it sounds pretty much just like the recording.. released a year before the album it appears on.


#138 GZA "Shadowboxing"


break through like the wu unexpectedly protect ya neck

#137 Air "Modulor Mix"


Yeah cool we just wanted to throw a fash cartoon in the middle of this for no fucking reason.


#136 Turbonegro "The Midnight NAMBLA"


We forgot these guys names but it looks like they haven't given up those ouftits just yet. Very handsome bros.

#135 Radiohead "Molasses"


From the Street Spirit single, this is one of those low-key chill kinda songs, totally unproduced and totally catchty

#134 Keith Sweat "Nobody"


Cool, memory served correcly and we get check out some amazing pics...
Not sure if that happened in '96, but it might as well haven.


#133 Eldopa "The Burning"


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l31UUl5SyXk this might help


#132 Ben Folds Five "Where's Summer B?"


Oh Ben, we love ya. For the title, we were confused if they were asking about that summer feeling, like "where's summer" and then "B" is just like their pal down the street. Makes total sense to us.

more annoyance is on the way ... brain wont let me stop...

IMPORTANT 1996 POST

People are sick of this shit but whatever

Real quick.
TOP 844 SONGS FROM 1996

It's ok we're gonna continue with this real quick, it'll be good.

INTRO: 1996 was quite a time. Fuckin douchebags throwin around devil-sticks and t-shirts that say "NO FEAR" it was not cool. Don't let anyone try to tell you it was cool because it ate the pile of shit. Fuck this fucking year.

This week we're up to #233...

#233: Pist-On "Grey Flap"


"Thank you for being so bold!" And then the girl enters the shot lookin' sad and super fucking 90s. Peter Steele did a better job but that's ok.

#232: R.Kelly "Down Low"


I think this one might actually suck. R Kelly fucked up and The Isley Brother kicks his ass and he's like "Father forgive me."


#231: Local H "Fritz's Corner"


Joe D murdering the kit


#230: Ghostface Killah "Daytona 500"


Speedy racer got all the workd done for these guys. Straight up hype


#229: Akinyele "Put In In My Mouth"

fuck theres no fucking video for this


#228: Toni Braxton "Youre Making Me High"

The 90's had a lot of videos where girls are sitting in a room and talking about really annoying loud bullshit. This video responds excellently by cutting out the audio of that convversatino.

#227: Death Lurks "Some Days It's Dark

The 90s had a lot of scenes from movies where they would put kids in the middle of an alt-rock or metal concert like The Bosstones in Clueless or Sugar Ray in that fucking Chevy Chase movie Fathers Day or some shit, and of course Cannibal Corpse in Ace Ventura and the Death Lurks scene is not relaly anything like any of these.

#226: Tom Petty "Asshole"


Ok this is bullshit, there's no video for Tom Petty singing "Asshole." Really uncool guys.


#225: Replicants "Destination Unknown"

Ken Andrews being all serious. the old guy next to him hangs out at the mall


#224: Tupac "I ain't Mad At Cha"


Tupac got shot in this one. He did all his own stunts but this one cost him a tune to the sum of 40 million dollars worth of death because he's dead.

#223: Tracy Chapman "Give Me One Reason To Stay Here"


Nothin beats the originality and unpredictably of the 12-bar-blues. This was up for like grammy awards n shit sounds like jokes. good kareoke song.

#222: Marilyn Manson "The Beautiful People"


This song has a fat head-nodding groove and you want to dance around fuck you. Manson just wanted the kids to dance. nothing wrong with that.

#221: Tuscadero "Hollywood Handsome"


Oh cool I did'nt know they had more than 1 song.

#220: Spooky Ruben "Running Away"

oh shit he's running away


#219: Donna Lewis "I Love You Always Forever"

Is this song any good?


#218: Toadies "Away"

Let's keep this the fuck goin on

90's Jams #88: Local H "Bound For The Floor" (1996)

Just as much of Nirvana's early material was informed by Cobain's experiences growing up as a misfit in blue-collar Aberdeen, WA, Local H's Scott Lucas spun a loose concept album out of life in Zion, IL, a dead-end town in the industrial Midwest, for the group's second disc, As Good as Dead. But while Lucas has the guitar (and bass) style of a rock dude, like Cobain, he has the soul of a punk rocker, albeit one growing up in a nowhere town who isn't sure how to get out. With 13 songs written in the voice of a guy who never got past the city limits, As Good as Dead is a litany of bitterness over a life that's being wasted before your very eyes - Allmusic http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:0zftxqwhldae
