HateTheInternet posted:I have never seen this show until a couple years ago, so as someone without nostalgia goggles I can say that Twin Peaks has one of the most dated intros I've ever seen. It always feels like I'm in middle school chemistry class about to watch slides from the '60s. That's deliberate. David Lynch knows what he's doing.

rockinricky posted:I read somewhere not too long ago, schools banned TrapperKeepers because kids would keep opening and closing the Velcro closures they had, and it was really distracting. Teachers got pissed, TrapperKeepers got banned. I never experienced this myself because I graduated in 1980. We had binders with the 'pinch-proof' plastic rings that opened and closed with a slider thing. That makes sense. After some Googling it seems the main reasons are a combination of the safety/distraction issues and them being too big to fit in desks. On a completely different note and over a week late: March 31 marked seventeen years since Selena's murder. "Dreaming of You" still depresses me whenever I hear it.

I got an even better one. Back in the 90's a local town's little league won the national championship. So to celebrate a radio station made their own remix of "Good Riddance" that spliced in sound clips of parents and kids cheering and congratulating the team. They also made a remix of "Who Let the Dogs Out" featuring the state hockey team.

Does anyone remember a really cheesy music video (likely aired on Disney or something similar, it was a video specifically aired in between children's programming) about going to get a haircut? It involved some poor kid gripping his chair in terror because he hated getting his hair cut so much. I've looked for it a bit, but can't find anything.

This was originally aired in the 1980s, but I had a VHS of it and I remember watching it all the time when I grew up in the 90s. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlVwkMhbmGM  I found the whole video on You Tube a couple of years ago, I think that the scenes with dinosaurs eating each other contributed to my vegetarianism. For more proper 90s though:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTxqN-a0ges Roundhouse. And really the entire Snick lineup. I can remember the two hours of Snick being Clarissa Explains it All, Roundhouse, Ren & Stimpy and Are You Afraid of the Dark. It used to be the highlight of my week.

I can't be the only one that loved EcoQuest and EcoQuest 2: Lost Secret of the Rainforest, can I? I replayed Lost Secret of the Rainforest a couple of years ago when I was sick with mono, and it was just as good as I remember. I dearly wish they still made adventure games like this. They did remake Secret of Monkey Island for the iPhone, though!  I still get the opening music stuck in my head sometimes, with the MIDI pan flutes. http://youtu.be/35EjbapELQs?t=20s And then there was Ocean Girl! I spent HOURS in my pool swimming around and pretending I was her and rescuing "sea creatures" from the evil pool filter and manta sucker. I would also organize underwater exploratory adventures with rafts and research vessels made from Legos. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7FHEptdIZLg I grew up to be an aquatic environmental scientist.  Never would have guessed that...

That video definitely reinforced my hatred of going to barbers/salons ever since I was a kid. The poor turd writhing in the chair, with sweaty palms and tears streaming down his face, perfectly captured how I looked when my mom took me to her hair dresser friend.

This thread has almost made me think that I'm the only person on the planet who still remembers "Eek the Cat". I used to love that loving show for some reason.. Another one nobody else seems to remember is "Widget the World Watcher". He was a purple shape-changing alien who had a floating computer in his watch. I don't remember what Widget did, exactly, but I feel like it was entertaining.

kimbo305 posted:I WILLLLLLLL. REMEMBERRRR YOUUU There was two songs on the radio that used these lyrics. One of them was by Sarah McLachlan. The other...was different. Anyone happen to know what it was? If it helps, it was punctuated/spelled more like I. Will remember YOOOOOOOUUUUUUU Nevermind - found it. Amazing what you can find when you actually look. It was "I will remember you" by Amy Grant.

Whenever I think of 90's music, three songs come to my mind. One might be only an Australian/UK thing, but still. Tal Bachman - She's So HAAAAAAAAAAIY-IIIIAY-AAAAAAAAY! Travis - Why Does It Always Rain On Me? (I break out into this one embarassingly often) Goo Goo Dolls - Iris

The 90s were a time when everyone wore their jeans really high and none of us realized it. When you checked a girl out, there was a lot more jeans to look over when you said to yourself, "I'd like to get in her pants."
