Two songs that used to play a bunch on JBTV in the 90s and I'm not gonna be a ton of help here, so I expect no one to get either.

In the one the hook is the male singer going "IIIIIII" then it cuts to a girl saying "hate you" also there's a bit near the end where it goes "we all fall down" a couple times, pretty sure. Indie song, mid 90s, pretty fast tempo.

The other I'd swear had something to do with the phrase four leaf clover used quite a bit, something about taking a handful of goodbye pills. The hook was a repetition of "I made, made up my mind".

Both were played a bunch on Q101 during the indie shows around 95-96 also. I have zero expectations here, but if anyone can figure out these songs from my lovely description I will die happy and also probably annoy my wife this weekend by playing them both while drunk.

Taking a wild swing at the first one, could it be, Ruby - Tiny Meat

If not then: I can't directly help you, but I can sort of help you get some of the way there.
Here is a website that lists hits from 1996 and on from q101

It might be helpful to check you kroq's lists. They are longer and go back to the 80's

A song I heard one time at least 20 years ago that has stuck with me. It was a folk-rock style song, and the one line I can remember from it is "sitting in the back of a long black Cadillac."

Do you remember where you heard it? If it was on the radio it makes it easier. What was the vocal style like, clean, gruff, woman, man auto-tuned(joking).

I heard it on college radio. The vocals were clean, male, rock and roll vocals.

Which state and do you remember the college radio signal?

nope, but thank you as well. It was a much more traditional music style compared to this.

drat it. I think i hit a limit, but yeah music is always being sorted out, so what you can't find today, is not a total loss, you'll probably find eventually.

The way I found the madness song, was omitting the word Cadillac and put "sat in the back of a long black" in quotes with the word Lyrics into google search. Yeah using the word Cadillac brings up way to many results

The video set to the Party Boy theme from Jackass. The video is still on Youtube but has been set to private for nearly a decade.

Have you tried to download the video through a website?
Sometimes it works.

Just remembered two books I read briefly from the Library. Both were writen before 1999

The first one was a cyberpunk book that begins with a two people talking about a rival gang, and one of the characters responds with, "I don't care so long as they don't stop my drugs. "

The second book was about a retired telephone linemen (or worked for At&T/Bell) whose deaf son was kidnapped, all I remember is there is a scene where the dad and son arm wrestled.

Speaking of stuff you've heard on college radio...

Fall of1991, listening to WFMU. I was taping it because I had called and put in a request and just wanted to get a copy of hearing my name thrown out over the air, 'cause that's how us old folks amused themselves back before the internet.

Grunge was juuuust starting to be a thing, so NYU's radio station was fairly cutting edge, playing this heretofore unknown band called "Nirvana" and such. They played a grungy song before getting to the Skinny Puppy I'd requested, so that's on the tape. Unfortunately, the cassette ran out of tape just as the DJ is going down the "what you just heard" playlist, saying "and before that, we had Kr-"

He sounds likes he starting to say something that begins with a Kr or Cr sound, like Crust or Crunch or something on those lines. The chorus to the song sounds like "MUDHONEEEEEY", but afaik, it's not actually Mudhoney. I asked this on a music site I belonged to years ago and no one figured it out.

I can hear the melody plain as day (minor key, bass-heavy, does a walking-down-the-key thing) and the only other lyric I can recall is the male vocalist screaming "walk all over meeee". And if the tape I had still exists, it's probably rotted to hell in my storage unit.

Good luck, gum shoes!

The only one I found was: Cracker Bash?

Does anyone know of a children’s video (early 90s VHS era) that had a song at the end that was a ‘teach your kid their address’ song? I remember (•=beat, but this may have been my address’s song that my parents made for me):
###
•••
Street Name
••
Anywhere, USA
••••••

The anywhere, USA part I remember well, since that’s where your parents are supposed to insert their city name.


Wee sing?
