I cannot believe that there is no thread dedicated to the song "Summer Girls" by LFO (aka the Lyte Funky Ones)

Yeah, I like this. Still pretty sure I didn't hear it until 2004 at the earliest, though. iPod has it tagged as being from the "Go OST."

(Which, come to think of it, I saw in the theater, so maybe I did hear the song in 1999.)

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 15 January 2007 20:23 (nineteen years ago)

This is one of those songs where I just couldn't get past the image of them. The whole "spoiled rich kid driving daddy's car" look.

i will never grow weary of mambo No 5.

― jambalaya backgammon (grady), Monday, 15 January 2007 20:24 (nineteen years ago)

I used to hear that fucking cowbell from "Steal My Sunshine" in my nightmares.

― baron kickass von awesomehausen (nickalicious), Monday, 15 January 2007 20:26 (nineteen years ago)

I mentioned "Mambo No. 5" in this article.

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 15 January 2007 20:27 (nineteen years ago)

what was the grungey-poppy-punk song where the guy kept saying he was sorry for a whole laundry list of things?

― jambalaya backgammon (grady), Monday, 15 January 2007 20:28 (nineteen years ago)

I had no idea B*witched were even heard of in the States

"Sorry 2004," by Ruben Studdard

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 15 January 2007 20:31 (nineteen years ago)

it included:

1) getting drunk at an innapropriate time
2) having sex with the sister of whomever he was apologizing to
3) crashing through a window of some sort

i also seem to remember a lyric about a biker/motorcycle gang but its possible i'm making that up.

― jambalaya backgammon (grady), Monday, 15 January 2007 20:32 (nineteen years ago)

and possibly some mention of seafood of some sort, possibly in the same line as motorcycle gang/ bikers.

― jambalaya backgammon (grady), Monday, 15 January 2007 20:34 (nineteen years ago)

I dunno, but that sounds awesome.

― jaymc (jaymc), Monday, 15 January 2007 20:38 (nineteen years ago)

i ask because i remember it being all over the radio around the same time.

it sounded like a much more radio-friendly NOFX or Ugly Kid Joe ten years later.

― jambalaya backgammon (grady), Monday, 15 January 2007 20:41 (nineteen years ago)

i also ask because the lyrics were horribly catchy and annoying but much preferable to summer girls.

― jambalaya backgammon (grady), Monday, 15 January 2007 20:43 (nineteen years ago)

A-ha!:

Nerf Herder, "Sorry"

Sorry we broke up, sorry I missed you
Sorry I wanted only to kiss you
Sorry I promised to love you forever
made you feel guilty, oh when you left me
Sorry I showed up at your party
Sorry I drank up all the Bacardi
Sorry I puked up on your bedspread
Sorry I wanted to be your boyfriend again
(chorus) What can I do?
It's over, it's over, it's over, it's over
What can I do? I am the loser.
Sorry I saw you and I heard birds sing
Sorry I touched you and I heard bells ring
Sorry I jacked off outside of your window
while you were sleeping
I thought you'd never know
Sorry I showed up at your wedding
Sorry I tried so hard to get in
Sorry I screwed up your picture
Sorry I had sex with your sister
(chorus) What can I do?
It's over, it's over, it's over, it's over
What can I do? I am the loser.
Sorry we broke up, sorry I missed you
Sorry I wanted only to kiss you
Sorry I promised to love you forever
made you feel guilty, oh when you left me
Sorry I showed up at your dinner
Sorry I said those things to your father
Sorry I crashed through your window on acid
Sorry I made a mess, sorry I bled to death
(chorus) Repeat 2x

haha fucking NERFHERDER

When I start to think about how it seems like all bands these days have shit names, I need to remind myself, "hey, self, remember the 90s".

NO BIKERS EATING SEAFOOD NO CREDIBILITY.

― jambalaya backgammon (grady), Monday, 15 January 2007 21:02 (nineteen years ago)

wikipedia lists genre as: Geek Rock

― jambalaya backgammon (grady), Monday, 15 January 2007 21:03 (nineteen years ago)

Wow, Evan and Jaron. I had forgotten about them. I still have no idea what they sounded like. I'm assuming sensitive blandness.

one year passes...

Tynan Delong was an asshole.

This is a big karaoke tune for me.

― Dom Passantino, Tuesday, 6 May 2008 14:03 (eighteen years ago)

And, I think, for the world at large.

― Dom Passantino, Tuesday, 6 May 2008 14:03 (eighteen years ago)

I was going to say, a truly classic Tynan post upthread.

― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 6 May 2008 14:14 (eighteen years ago)

You are the worst breed of fong.

― Dom Passantino, Tuesday, 6 May 2008 14:18 (eighteen years ago)

"Girl On TV" was good, too.

how is this song not already a lyrics poll

― Alex in Baltimore, Tuesday, 6 May 2008 14:21 (eighteen years ago)

yeah this was easily top 5 karaoke performances ever for me

― impudent harlot, Tuesday, 6 May 2008 15:46 (eighteen years ago)

"Chinese food makes me sick"

Really -- why share that with the world?

― Alex in NYC, Tuesday, 6 May 2008 18:39 (eighteen years ago)

seven months pass...

I'm sure there was a poll about this, wtf was the thread called though?

― Doctor Casino, Monday, 29 December 2008 01:35 (seventeen years ago)

"Summer Girls" lyrics poll

― tucker max r (The stickman from the hilarious 'xkcd' comics), Monday, 29 December 2008 01:37 (seventeen years ago)

aha, burned by punctuation. thanks!

― Doctor Casino, Monday, 29 December 2008 01:41 (seventeen years ago)

Listening to the song now, it seems self-evident that it was the template for the (inferior but still charming) "Not The Greatest Rapper In The World" by 1,000 Clowns.

― Doctor Casino, Monday, 29 December 2008 01:47 (seventeen years ago)

Last surviving LFO member has some thoughts about how talented rapper Rich Cronin was:

The In Memoriam montage in the following year’s Grammys did not include a mention. “I don’t like to focus on those who don’t respect us, I like to focus on the fans,” Fischetti says. “But it hurt. Rich Cronin was literally one of the best rappers alive, which is not to say he’d beat Eminem in a freestyle battle. But if you gave him a mic and beat, he could hold his own with anyone, with Biggie, anybody. That kid was so creative.”

It was all a dream
I used to read Tiger Beat magazine

― Filibuster Poindexter (Neanderthal), Friday, 30 April 2021 21:46 (five years ago)

Cronin could hold his own with Biggie
At night, I like to get into my Snuggie

― Vinnie, Friday, 30 April 2021 23:13 (five years ago)

this song makes me 15 and playing dreamcast with my schoolfriends again

― imago, Saturday, 1 May 2021 00:09 (five years ago)

Nintendo Gamecube, Sega Dreamcast
When I hear "Summer Girls", man, I can't believe that guy passed

Instead of Indian say Native
That kid was so creative
