That Paula Cole shop just made my day.
Predictably, the Paula Cole poboy one made mine.
…as well. I forgot to add “as well” at the end. Don’t mind me, I have a headache.
But she had two hits! Dawson’s Creek knows what I’m talking about.
Los Del Rio Grande
The “Macarena” singers join the United States Border Patrol.
Jesus, Lisa Loeb still gives me a chubby. Other chicks can try to pull off that glasses look, but no one will ever pull it off like her.
“Lump”
Kris Kross travels the nation giving breast exams, while also designing a new, more fashionable hospital gown that looks like a varsity jacket worn backwards.
Works better for Presidents of the United States of America
Peaches removed due to Lumps?
Kriss Kross was not a one hit wonder. They didn’t just Jump Jump, they also Missed the Bus (and they’ll never ever do it again).
Ouch. Tripping Daisy, Toadies, Deep Blue Something and Vanilla Ice. It’s a sad day for 90′s Dallas bands. Although you could add New Bohemians to that list and make it complete.
“The Recession That I Get”
The Mighty Mighty Bosstones visit blighted urban centers struck hardest by a failing economy, judging contests for out-of-work Americans for a chance to win a small-business grant.
I like that we’re ignoring Suzanne Vega’s actual hit, because it’s about actually hitting children.
Yes, but it was against rather than in support of, for some reason. Luca should’ve just done the goddamn dishes like he was told.
Dammit, Burnsy! I was all ready to write in “Here Comes the Hot Pepper” and you had to go and read my mind!
“Pave Tonight”
Eagle Eye Cherry helps pave driveways and roadways in different towns across America, while people confuse him with Ben Harper.
Great article…it pains me to see the Toadies lumped in here. Those cats are pretty awesome all around.
To be even more completely truthful, Blind Melon’s first two albums are constantly coming up in my playlists.
Sometimes even talented people only pull off one hit.
To be completely truthful, Terence Trent D’arby has been known to find some room on my playlists
Same here. TTD coulda been a contender. Then he went a little weird.
“Soup! There it is!”
Tag Team travels around the world to try out different chowders and soups.
“Groove is in the Harp”
Dee-Lite judges a talent contest to find the world’s best harpist.
Snow becomes a criminal informer. And then he licky boom boom down.
I’d let Bran Van 3000 introduce me to Los Angeles boozecans unbeknownst to me.
Those two Nelson girls are butt ugly
Suzanne Vega is not a one hit wonder, come on…
I’ll never click through a slideshow

“Let The Day Begin”
The ghost of The Call lead singer Micheal Been wakes up a random celebrity every morning.
Can we stipulate that Lisa Loeb can only wear panties and a bra during the show? Maybe if it’s cold she can toss on an unbuttoned cardigan, but absolutely NO PANTS.
This.
I would watch the ever-loving shit out of “Pop Goes the Easel.”
“Mixed media? That gets the gas face.”
How about if Afroman hosts a celebrity pastry eating contest.

Didn’t MTV already do this with Xhibit and Pimp My Ride?

The Mark Morrison addition is truly a touch of class.
Third Eye Venetian Blinds:
The Bay-area band reunites to create thoughtful, inspiring, and ultimately forgettable window treatments.
Groove Is In The B.A.R.T.

“I ain’t got no future or family tree, but I know that these blintzes will be hard to beat”
Well done, Burnsy; you are a gentleman and a scholar. I was holding my breath for the Nelson-themed show. I was surprised that it was so far in the slideshow; I admire your restraint.

One Weak — the Barenaked Ladies host a ‘Biggest Loser’-esque competition in which scrawny weaklings compete to see who can pack on the most muscle mass over the course of the season.
Plump’n'Round — House of Pain hosts a weekly plus-sized modeling competition. NBC immediately tries to jump on the bandwagon by giving Sir Mix-a-lot the exact same show. Gives it Parks and Rec’s time slot.
