Everything - Hooch vs. LFO - Summer Girls vs. Crazy Town - Butterfly

i laugh whenever i think of the name "lyte funkie ones" so i guess i'll vote that

Everything are from VA. my station played "Hooch" a LOT and before I even knew they were local, I suspected they were, given the song was one of those bland, low-effort songs that only gets play cuz the band has local fans. This is the first time I realized the song was bigger than our area, which is baffling. I don't think I've heard it since the last century

I have no recollection of ever hearing “hooch” in my life. The Sugar Ray comparison is otm. I don’t hate it but it’s sort of unremarkable. LFO also kind of reminds me of Sugar Ray. I feel like ‘crazy town’ is the odd one in here.

Come to think of it I don’t hate either of these three songs but I also have no desire to ever listen to them again.

All three songs are dumb. "Hooch" is the dumbest.

"Summer Girls" is overrated, but it's good and dumb.

"Butterfly" wins my vote because I will never dislike the Flea sample.

Hooch is dumb masquerading as merely mediocre. A true lowering of the bar.

Summer girls is dumb, but knows it's dumb, which is the next best thing to being stupid on purpose.

The Pretty Little Ditty sample in Butterfly always pisses me off, because that's probably the best RHCP song (both on its own as an objectively pretty little ditty, and by virtue of the Keidis Omission). Plus every time I hear it I can't help but imagine the thousands of seductions that have been set to this tune. It doesn't matter that it is totally bad; "Sexy, sexy pretty little thing/fierce nipple pierce/you got me sprung with your tongue ring" is enough to turn up the heat for some. At the meat market. At the frat party. On the way home from seeing American Pie in the back of a 1996 Chevy Cavalier. I want people to enjoy their sexuality. I want people to listen to stupid popular songs. But this combination just makes me squirm.

All this talk about "Butterfly" piqued my curiosity enough to finally listen to the song, and...
of right, I've heard this a million times, but for some reason I always assumed this was Limp Bizkit.

Now I guess I have to go listen to LFO for completeness...
and, wow, those lyrics are somethin else. This is the best of the batch by a country mile. It's basically a Kidz Bop re-write of LL Cool J's "I Need Love", with a whole slew of non-sequiters to pad out the rhyme scheme. Respect.

No, my friend, this is the Bizkit

Butterfly is clearly the best

cant wait to find out which one of these three gems got the freshy freshy

Please don't wait if you find yourself overcome with the urge to get real or heavy.

"Hooch" is on the soundtracks for both Scrubs and The Waterboy.

I wasn't going to vote but I suddenly got scared that "Butterfly" wouldn't win

You would vote against fierce nipple pierce you got me sprung with your tongue ring?

thinking about all three of these songs in succession has activated some kind of ptsd

Poll at last fulfills its intended purpose.

"Butterfly" def my 'favourite' of these. Had no memory of "Hooch" even though I know I've seen that season of Scrubs more than once.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

lol hooch

The hooch brings you back
I ain't tellin' you no lie

what the hell?? that band was cursed

https://www.nme.com/news/music/crazy-town-singers-filmed-beating-each-other-up-after-on-stage-row-3435857?

they were subsequently kicked off the tour because this behavior was a bridge too far for hed P.E.

Shifty bragging about how much he boxes and how he could fuck up his friend 'if he wanted to' slightly reminds me of the time that one of the members of grindcore band Are You God? got into a fist fight with another bandmate, then logged onto the message board that they both were a part of and started a thread called "I BEATED BERNARDO UP"
