"Butterfly" is definitely a post-"Loser" track.

I like the len song the best, im allergic to new radicals one, and i secretly liked spacehog one.
― Hunt3r, Thursday, 28 June 2018 14:59 (five years ago) link
also not much of a hit iirc

Theme-wise they’re all about procrastination and depression.So were most other songs in the ‘90s, lol

Not sure about this one cos it straddles Sunny-D and acid jazz/new jack, but it's definitely in that Michel Gondry hip hop vibe

i hate all of these songs. drinking in la is the only one i hear with any regularity anymore (probably because it's CanCon)
― ( ͡☉ ͜ʖ ͡☉) (jim in vancouver), Thursday, 28 June 2018 16:00 (five years ago) link
also i think it's the least objectionable of all of these so I'm voting for it. the spacehog song actually makes me want to kill

I made a playlist a while ago that was very much stuff in the vibe of a few of these songs. Mostly stuff the came out in 96 or the surrounding years: https://open.spotify.com/user/hairysquishmas/playlist/29OSMeThq1N86C0P7cBSxi

In the 90s I knew a girl in the 90s who liked to play the Sims; the stereo in her simworld rotated between the following songs: Get What You Give, Bittersweet Symphony, and Kids in America. Just those songs in rotation. 30 seconds of each. For hours.

dog latin did you not include 1979 because you knew it would win
― flappy bird, Thursday, 28 June 2018 16:32 (five years ago) link
this was easy though, 'Steal My Sunshine'
― MarkoP
Ah yes! These has other songs I was thinking about earlier like scooby snacks and geggy tah.

Gah at my "In the 90s I knew a girl in the 90s."
also it was between the years 1989 and 2000, in case you were wondering

The Sims was released on February 4, 2000.

I would have voted for 'Get What You Give' but 'Drinking In LA' has personal resonance for me so that.

I liked the Spacehog single enough that I bought the CD, then immediately sold it back after hearing the other songs.

Another one which sort of classifies as summer post-beck hit:
Cornershop - brimful of asha
and I like this one better from the same album even better but it wasn’t a hit:
Cornershop - candyman
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Thursday, 28 June 2018 18:28 (five years ago) link
And others that sort of fit according to me:

It would be interesting to make a list of *pre*-Beck hits (or "MTV hits," if they didn't chart) that were rap/rock/pop hybrids. For example --

― i’m still stanning (morrisp), Thursday, 28 June 2018 18:33 (five years ago) link
Just realized most if not all of these were on MTV’s Daria soundtrack at some point so if you want more of these, that’s a good place to search for.

spagehog are originally from leeds.and the opening of that track was used in a phone advert for years in the uk, hence the inbuilt animosity for many people.
was it spacehog in the advert or the original penguin cafe orchestra track that they shamelessly ripped off?
― lana del boy (ledge), Thursday, 28 June 2018 18:46 (five years ago) link
ha that's my fave part of the song and now that i'm aware of the source fuck spacehog.

People were mad that it used a cool sample?
― i’m still stanning (morrisp), Thursday, 28 June 2018 19:17 (five years ago) link
gosh no … not at all, just had no idea re the source.I unashamedly love the song as I do a lot of Spacehog.even tracked down their albums that never got a full uk release.
― mark e, Thursday, 28 June 2018 19:20 (five years ago) link
my point was that the advert/sample was all over the place for a very very long time.became the sonic signature for a mobile operator in the uk.hence the very possible annoyance factor that happens with over exposure.

surprising myself i voted 'drinking in LA' over 'you get what you give' and 'steal my sunshine' maybe just bc the former was so underexposed for me.
the bottom two songs id never heard & i dont really get the connection
love omc 'how bizarre' though
