August 20, 20232 yr This gal is a lot more talented than she gets credit for, and I think the production on this song is largely fantastic, and a little ground-breaking, at least for the pop consumer market: And this is pure songwriting genius, with equally fantastic production: And speaking of pop hooks, one of my favorite tunes of the decade: Edited August 20, 20232 yr by jimmyjazz

August 20, 20232 yr I'm enjoying this thread way more than I should. The heat has finally broken me, but while we're at it... definitely one of the GOAT. Edited August 20, 20232 yr by Fudge Nuggets
August 20, 20232 yr Sing it loud at the grocery store or bar to alert everybody to your tenderness. Another song you prolly know all the words to without owning any of the music.

My girl got it going on in this one too, you stupid fucks. 4 fucking pages. God damnit. Woodlands Pavilion, probably 1996 (scratch that, 1997) No Doubt with support from Cake and The Vandals. Coolest night of my 11 years up to that point.

August 28, 20232 yr I don’t know if YT counts your plays, but I’d honestly be shocked if this isn’t my all-time #1.
August 28, 20232 yr Dua Lipa has some really great pop songs with top notch production. She's very talented and hot but it's a shame imo to see this version of her disappear in favor of the dancing pop star with backup dancers behind her. Terrific live version of really really good pop song.

August 29, 20232 yr What the hell happened to Emarosa? They used to be a post-hardcore band. This song sounds like it could be from Justin Bieber. Great pop song.

August 29, 20232 yr i can help but sing the chorus.. but the verses are pretty dull and those 80s horn fills are turrible. Edited August 29, 20232 yr by yoladu

Waiting to deplane and my phone rings. 20 something chick sitting next to me gives me a thumbs up and says “I love Mariah Carey” *sigh* Sunshine! Gotdamn she was cute. Ironically their next big hit was a cover that people said was about doing Heroin. Well, I'll be damned. First time I heard There She Goes, could have sworn it was Sixpence. Then, looking it up later, found The Las and didnt dig any further. Very similar sound, minus the vocals. But I wasn't wrong. Great song either way. I had also forgotten that Sixpence was a nominally Christian band out of New Braunfels, originally. Also, if you doubt it's about hair-on, The Las: Very Trainspotting. ETA: However, The Las and the songwriter specifically deny it. Edited September 5, 20232 yr by TwiceHorn

September 5, 20232 yr Wait . . . there was a question whether Sixpence wrote "There She Goes"? It was a giant hit for The Las. And yes, there's definitely an undercurrent of drugs in the lyric.

Well, despite being a cute female vocalist, like The Breeders and some others reffed here, No Doubt has balls and kicks ass, for the most part. Not girly pop songs. The ska/punk almost entirely extracts it from girly pop.

At some point later on, back in the early internet days, I "hotbotted it" or some shit and found The Las, listened, and said, "oh, ok, I see how I was mistaken." I have it downloaded. Anytime it plays on KXT, it's The Las. So it was The Las ever since, and never revisited it. Until now.

It’s a good album.
