The Golden Rule: Music taste is subjective so don't be a gatekeeping asshole. There's no "bad music", only music you like or don't like.

We Are A Community: So no racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or spam.

Haha šŸ˜‚ was wondering when a Weird Al would pop up on this community. Thanks mate.

I remember back when this came out the rumor was the singer gargled with concrete mix to condition his voice like that. Yeah, we were pretty stupid in the 90s. Has anything really changed thoughā€¦?

Dummy Love!!!! Check out the album before and after this one for so many quirky pop songs.

This was the first cassette tape I asked for. Before that I had a Michael Jackson tape and a 'Simpsons Sing the Blues' tape. They were good, but I didnt ask for them. CTD was the first band I was 'into'.

Oh cool. I think my first cassette was Men At Work-Business As Usual and I still love it.

Beautiful song.

The hmmm parts ment to be filler and later be replaced with actual lyrics. But the band and producer liked it better this way and they let it in.

In all honesty when I first heard the song that part was very annoying initially, but it really sets apart and eventually it turns into an earworm and everyone is humming it just quietly later in the day.
