Also, Kid-adjacent, I'd also consider ICP's "Another Love Song," which actually samples Beck's "Jack-Ass" to cast a backyard-party haze over their misogynistic murder fantasies.

Linda Perry: "Fill Me Up"

#onethread

Huh! Never knew that existed. It's... Huh. I don't hate the performance and I kinda like the sound, but the song itself isn't landing with me tbh.

Earned some modest airplay late summer/early fall '96. Kind of interesting in how it tries to sell that it's the "What's Up" lady, but with every edge softened, which kind of misses the point of what people who like that song like about it.

I didn't know until I heard Pink talking about it on Howard Stern a couple days ago, but she's the reason Linda Perry came out of semi-retirement. Pink was a huge fan and went looking for her to do some writing/producing. And now she won't go away lol

My daughter used the expression "I'm living a lie" this morning and it inexplicably thrust this song into my head that seems to have left very little lasting footprint

Jimmie's Chicken Shack: "High", a Godsmack-y Hard Rock song preparing absolutely no one for their next album's Blink-182/Lit-move lead single "Do Right":

^Mentioned upthread by some dude. The video is...something else (as you can see, MTV2 actually aired it with the intro interview bit w/the ex-girlfriend, which was eventually edited out for regular MTV after an airing or two)

def remember "Do Right." "High" is tickling some memory bone but nothing specific. I guess they were early Korn adopters? Kind of an awkward fit with the bright colorful video. Not sure they should have agreed to the "actual chicken shack" video concept.
