You guys shoulda been around in the late 70's and early 80's, oh man was that something, by the time you guy's got into high school they were like prisons with uniformed security guards and metal detectors. We were bad kids but no one got shot, no one ever dared to bring a gun to school and just about every teenage boy had a pocket knife on him that his dad gave him around the age of 15, by the 90's if you had one in school the principal would call the police on you. Back then we came and went from the school as we pleased, in the 90's the high school I had gone to built a 12 foot high chain link fence around it, just like a prison has, and in the center of the school was a courtyard that we were allowed to smoke in, you were only supposed to be able to if you were 18 (legal age for tobacco products back then) and you had a slip signed by your parents giving you permission but that was never enforced. And the drugs? OMG did we have and use them, a friend I grew up with was screwing a gangsters daughter (not inner city type gangster I'm talking the real thing), her mom was a Quaalude freak and had a wall safe full of them, every time he'd go over to her place before he left she'd get into her mother's stash and give him literally a hand full, oh God were we wacked out all the time, so much for a quality education. Yep, it was that lifestyle that the movie Fast Times at Ridgemont High was based on, that movie's more of a documentary on high schools in that time period than people realize.
@@toddwill2313 I've always felt bad for kids in high school starting about 10 years after I graduated, they became like prisons at that point, that's no way to spend what's supposed to be the best years of your life. No wonder kids started getting diagnosed with all kinds of mental illnesses in the 90's, I'd have been a head case to if I had to go to school under those conditions.
I was obsessed with this song back in 98. Absolutely obsessed. I remember being 17 driving around in my car for hours just listening to this song on repeat. Jesus, where does the time go?
ShoNuff- bro I'm right there with you dawg! I fell in love with a girl when this album came out and I cannot believe it's been 25 fucking years that have evaporated since all that happened. Terrifying how fast time flies isn't it!!??? And Jesus Christ, Katie looks smokin in this video!
I was a kid in 97, but I did the same thing when I was 19 in 2005. Driving aimlessly listening to that *one* song that you associated with whomever you were crushing/obsessed with at the time. I miss how simpler yet overly chaotic that time seemed, where DOES the time go? Youth is truly wasted on the young...we took everything for granted because we had so little life experience. I don't think I would want to go back, but I would like back the sense of everything just *felt* at that time, y'know?
How we take our younger years for granted. So grateful for those memories with such great music I’m smiling right now. ❤ thought those summers would never end.

lisa finn I lost my dad last year and although the hurt is still there it does get better with time but you will start to notice things that were always there but now they stick out like this song for instance. Bless you luv
@@hihi15yearsago56 Your mom is 8 years younger than me if she's 28.I was a teen in the 90s so your mom would've been around 8 years old in 99-00. So more of a 90s baby and teenager in the mid 2000s.
As a kid in the 80's we didn't worry about kidnapping or being shot and if we needed to talk we would tell a friend to tell a friend to call. No cellphones no tweets no Facebook. Life was great.
I was 10 in 97. Being my age throughout the 90s was great I still believed in Santa the best system was the first Playstation, it was a special event to go see a movie in a theater. It was a special event when your favorite band dropped a cd. Ahh the new cd booklet smell with all the lyrics inside to sing along. When you dated a girl it was more special because we couldn't constantly text and face time with them. Hell going to the playplace at McDonald's was special especially when they had the ball pit. Watching MTV all day with your buddy while playing with wrestling action figures waiting for our favorite songs to come on. Miss the days of going down to my friends basement that was finished and play video games and clown around
This song breaks me down hard every time I hear it and no matter where I'm at. My sweet little step daughter would sing this song every single time it played while we were driving. I still hear her voice as clear as a bell in her car seat as we were going down the road. She was taken to Heaven shortly before her 3rd birthday in 1999. Even after all those years it still hurts.
The melody is so beautiful. I can imagine her singing it and nodding her head to it. That pain never goes away, but sometimes when we hear songs like this, they can make us smile and remember the good times.
@@melissaanderson7010 I'm an odd one, I cannot go there, I cannot look at pictures, listens to songs, or revisit anything that has to do with someone I knew who is no longer here. The pain is too great.
I can't help but smile because I was fortunate to spend my teenage years in the last, great, American decade - THE 90'S ! And that's not typical nostalgia talking. You feel it, I feel it. Everyone knows it. The 90's was the last decade of simplicity and there was a cultural fabric in music and movies that united us. Even one hit wonders had a heart and passion that today's names couldn't even come close to replicating.
This resonates deep with me. I didn't always feel like my childhood was happy at the time, but looking back at life in the 90's, I see so much that's missing from today. I can't help but feel that something important is lost and gone forever.
R Channe I agree. I remember the 80's and 90's very well (I'm 40) and the 90's was the evolution of the 80's. Culture today is something else. I now understand, and have for some time, the nostalgia that my parents felt, and that I thought they were crazy for feeling. Each generation to its own, I suppose.
Same here, I was born in 69 and my parents listened to Blondie, Bee Gee's, Blue Oyster cult, and The Eagles. Graduated in 88. Moved to Bradenton Fla. Wouldn't trade a minute.
80s baby and I graduated in 2000. So spent my childhood and teens in the 80s and 90s and literally became an adult in the year 2000. Sometimes wish I had been born a little bit earlier so I could have experienced the 80s more rather than only vaguely remembering bits and pieces of the latter part of the decade but just glad I got to experience them at all. The 90s had some great music and movies but I'm obsessed with just about anything 80s.
This was the song that was playing at the bar when my mom and dad met. This was one of his favorite songs ever too. He passed away when I was 3 in 2002. They played this song at his funeral too... I was just thinking about him and this was in my recommended. I love you and miss you dad! Thank you the flys
Sorry for your loss. What a beautiful song to meet your better half to. I just posted a min ago that this makes me think of when I fell in love with my best friend. Good and bad times but were still close today!
I wasn't expecting the attention on the comment, thank yall for the kind words. Tomorrow is Father's day, and of course I came back to listen to his song. Love yall, thanks
It's like a photo album that can't be taken away cause it lives forever in the back of your mind even if you forget it's there. For as long as you're around, whenever you go back to that place, it's always there waiting for you.
I don’t know about everyone else but 1994 through 2004, that 10 year span was the best time of my life. From 28yrs old thru 38. Great music..great times. I’d love to go back and experience it all over again. 😢
You say "tavern"...was it possibly a "saloon"? I like to think it was a wild west saloon in the mid-1850s...a bunch of outlaws are playing poker and blackjack at various tables when a dude playing the saloon piano in the corner starts playing this riff...
You're raising her right. Hate hearing young kids who are 18, 19, 20 years old and they don't even know artists such as Nirvana, Madonna, Green Day, Hole, Korn, System of a Down and so on. Keep on introducing her to the classics.
No way this song came out 25 years ago! 25 years ago, I was 25 years old, single, didn't have 4 kids, and was at the bar all weekend long, every single weekend! Lol Almost 26 years ago now. Damn!
Viva La Rosa In 97 i was 37 And my mother died that June Unexpectedly I ended up cari g and managing childhood home for the summer Alone I used to dance to Peter Murphys solo cds (I believe he came out of another huge band. Gang of 4..or Bauhaus?) Those three brilliant albums And i swear it was a transcendent experience. It healed me and was my medicine in grieving loss of Mom. The irony was; That shit was already More than 15 yrs old In 1997!!!😭😪👋💛😂😳😒 But not for me!!! Never think you will never find magic again in current music Its waiting right there for you Keep the Faith!##
The 90s hands down gave us the absolute best musical masterpieces. I remember the first time I heard this song. It was on the soundtrack from the movie Disturbing Behavior. It's still on my playlist today 24 yrs later, and every time I hear it...it's pure nostalgic bliss 💗
Thank you I was wondering what movie it was from. I'm not sure if I saw it. But Katie Holmes she was the leading lady for young women. So many good movies.
People who lived through the 60s and 70s probably said the same thing 20 years ago. Every generation sees theirs as the last great one, it’s all about perspective and where we are individually on this imaginary line of time. With that said I miss the sh*t out of this and my youth
It was definitely interesting having grunge rock and rap go mainstream in Jr high then alternative and gangster rap during high school with pop punk and third wave ska all thrown into the mix. I turned 18 the summer of 97.
I can't believe I'm 43 damn time "Flys" 18 yo High School Grad! Life with friends hanging out having fun, not thinking about tomorrow, just living in the moment, songs like this playing! Yes good times. Now a days songs like this are played on Oldie Radio Stations 😬😪 makes me smile, but then I say to myself DAMN MAN, YOU GOT OLD!!! WTF LOL!!!!
I'm 42 and I don't remember hearing this before this year. I opened Pandora; i sure am glad got you flys flovesjesus. We are all brothers like got you flys flovesjesus.@@bjkarana ....how time flies, like a bjkarana. bzzzz joke
Cheers from another 1980 baby (or '81). Will never be lost on me how fortunate we were to be young when this music (and country too) was the sign of the times. Different then what's new. The last of an era before social media and technology changed us so much that humanity straight left the building. Our innate need is connection. They lied when they said social media bled that. It stole it. Connected in the flesh not connected to the onlinr, edited, 1%, exaggerated lie we share. It's a disease that is irradicating us as a species. Measuring our worth with the phony currency of clicks and views and letting that be what determines our value. That is terrifying. Sorry, I'm told I am longwinded and "too much." Long story sorta short...music is that universal language. It holds memories of experiences. Ones most often shared that connect us on another level. We fill arenas by the tens of thousands where our differences suddenly aren't a threatening matter. Which they shouldn't be anyway but you get my meaning. 43 years old. This music erases 20. It also pulls at the strings of who I was. So easily. It taps into the unjaded fearless gung hoe of being young. We ain't dead, though. So let's get back to really connecting. Perhaps a revival of real music that matters and says a thing could help that along. Meanwhile I'll give props to the UA-cam comment section for allowing 40 somethings a chance to remember we ain't dead. ❤🤙🏼🎶✌🏼
Oh God this was my song back in 97. I remember when I first heard it, it felt like someone blew cold air into my body. I still get chills from it. Loved this by the Flys
I truly believe if this band had made other songs with double microphones they would have been HUGE. I love this song. It's one of those that give you chill bumps.
They did... Adam patented his setup.. "The Paskowicz Nebulizer".. and they released a couple of excellent albums. Adam did some Queen and Bowie covers with his own separate band that are just divine.
It sounds as good today as it did back in 1998!! That bass riff at the end of the song has always sounded like FN cool!! Thanks for the memories the Flys!!
I don’t know what it is about hearing “old” 90’s songs that makes me not want to go on for one more second, yet never want to “leave” all at the same time 💔
I remember singing this in the shower at my friends house after a very long night of drinking. He was playing the CD in the bedroom... Being young was awesome.
I had just graduated Highschool in 1998 when this song came out. I ran to Best Buy for the CD. It was an awesome summer of that year. We didn’t know what the future unfolded. Wish I can go back!
I fell in love with this song in the summer of '99 at age 16 when I moved from Illinois to Florida that summer. This song was like a coming of age for me, and The Deftones as well.... I totally miss the day's of innocence 🤔😅
I love it when I come across a song I'd totally forgotten about but really liked at the time. This song came out the year after I graduated from college.
Awesome fucking song!!! Love this alternative style back in the mid-to-late 90s. This song brings back so many memories. God, I cannot believe how old this is ... I know I'm NOT alone on this ...
Brings me back to watching MTV while getting ready for high school, telling mom I _don't_ need to wear that flannel she dug out of the laundry basket because I'm wearing my Nirvana shirt today with my good jeans, and I have to be cool.
Haha! I know the feeling. I’m 46 and first heard Mazzy Star’s Fade Into You for my first time this year 😂 Idk how I missed out on that song. This one I just forgot exists til today. Time sure flies by for us.

This song reminds me of when my husband and I first met.. I was bartending, and he came in and sat at the bar and we talked all night. When we got married, his nickname for me was Sweet Thing. I always told him our daughter got her brains from him, and he would say she got her brains from both of us, and tell me, I was smart.. He passed away 10 years ago. No other song, touches my heart, in so many ways, like this song!!
@ Never too late:) But, yeah, I agree... I have regrets, missed chances at love, all of that... But then... The universe knows exactly what's supposed to happen, so... I guess we didn't screw up.
I remember these guys well. I used to see them out in LA. They worked hard to get signed, and they were nice people, too. I had this demo somewhere. It was undeniable that it would be a hit.
The 90's were most definitely my favorite era of music so far. I knew it when it was happening. This is no hindsight / glory days crap. I could feel the 90's were special while the music was happening. I was born in the mid-60's and so I did not really get to jam on that music until I was older but appreciated what a great time the 60's and 70's were for music. I was a teenager in the 80's and honestly very little at that time did anything for me musically. But the 90's... And this tune sort of exemplifies the beauty of that time and that music. Such great music and great times. I really wish that people and music would connect more universally like we all did in the 90's.
I don't know why this song makes me so nostalgic. I thought it was ok back in the day but it was no where near my favorite song at the time. Something about it just gets me now though. I listen and I'm back there, when life was good and everything hadn't gone completely off the rails yet. The 90's were an extremely exciting time in music. Artists were doing things that would've never been attempted at any other time. It was an amazing musical Era to live through.
Just bought a new car...it doesn't have a cd player, so I took out all my cd's & was going through them. Came across this cd, and honestly couldn't remember why I bought it. Read all the names of the songs, immediately recognized "Got you where I want you", but couldn't remember the tune or words. Came here, found it & have played it on loop mode for the last hour! I will never forgot this song again. What an INCREDIBLE, AMAZING song!!
Woke up hearing this beaudy this morning. Probably haven't heard it in over a decade! The lyrics, the sound, the vibes go straight to my heart and soul
I love this song 1st time i hear on a radio.when I was 19.. now I'm 38..this night i found it..19yrs of searching because I don't know the title 😂.. date Sunday 20:45pm 12-8-2024.
Every single one hit wonder from the 90's is 100 times better than the music coming out now. What's really crazy is that no one is one hit wonder anymore.
People tell kids & teens these are the best years of your life and kids want to grow up. Once we grow up and so many friends & family are gone away (some dead), we wish we could go back.
It hurts to hear this song, but its also cathartic and reminds me how grateful i am to have grown up in an era without smartphones. The digital age is upon us, and quite frankly....i fuckin hate it. I'd sacrifice 10 years off my like to go back to the 90's for just a week.
I just turned 29 last month, fortunate enough to have spent the first 10 years of my life in the glorious 90s. For me, it was the era of playing Sonic on the Sega Genesis, Super Mario World on the SNES, etc., and then later it became Twisted Metal 2 on PS1, Golden Eye on N64. It was a decade of great comedians like Jim Carey, Adam Sandler, and Chris Farley to name a few. It was the decade of email and the internet ... I can remember sending my first email at the bank my aunt worked at at the age of 5 (1995). And for music, the 90s was truly a golden age. I'm glad that songs like this got radio play; that way I can listen back on them and remember just how different the world felt during this decade not long past. Whenever I hear this song, I am (for some reason) reminded of waiting in my parent's car outside of a local Massachusetts pizzeria one night, when this song came on the radio and I began singing it to myself in the solitude of an empty vehicle. I was 8 years old and in the 3rd grade, and there was a girl named Dorian that I had a crush on; for some reason this song reminded me of her. "I think you're smart, you sweet thing. Tell me your sign, I'm dying here." Pure nostalgia ... kind of surreal in a way to remember back on these times, almost like they never actually happened and it was all just a nice dream.
Man the lead singer had a million dollar voice. I wish I could sing like that! I was driving back cross country, moving back east after trying the west, November 1998. All I had was my car stereo and they began playing this song on a few stations. I liked it instantly, 90's rock then wasn't as good as it had been for a couple of years, and this song sounded good. I saw them on Conan a little later and loved it!
The 90’s BABY!!! Growing older now and feeling really good. Realizing how fortunate I am for growing up in that time period. Everything was just...I don’t know ...just better lol. Great song btw. Peace love and unity to everyone in the comment section!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
The 90s. I was sooo lucky to have grown up in this AMAZING AWESOME decade!!!!! Everything about the 1990s was amazing, the movies, the music, the tv shows, even school was cool back then. None of this bullshit technology now a days like cell phones, internet, social media. Thank God there was NO social media!!!!! Kids these days missed out big time. For real tho, the 1990s was a really amazing decade. I really miss it
A car passed me today playing this song. I'd forgotten all about it. Love this song.....so good to hear it again. Brings back memories I tell ya!!! Thank you for posting. Xoxo
The Midnight Club Brought me here such a great soundtrack. I was 18 when this song came out and instantly felt teleported back to the 90s when being a young adult was some of the best times for me. The hangouts with many friends, the heartaches, the tv shows, movies, books, and the music created what I am today. I hear this and man did we have the last great Era just pass us by too fast.
Oh hell, this song fell off my radar ! YES, one of the best of the 80's/90's. THE BEST DECADES to come of age in America. I loved every single minute, every band, every song. We weren't hipsters, not rebels for changes, didn't hate our country........we were just kids trying to get through school. And lo and behold, the great bands and musicians were right there, to guide us.
Used to listen to this in Mission Beach, California back in 1998. First time I seen a 420 T-Shirt. The rollercoaster last man riding challenge was going on.
I was 31 when this song hit in 97, and you would THINK that it would miss me, because I was too old, but you'd be wrong. I was that extended adolescent dating 23 year olds and living at night. Luckily, I looked young too. I'm 58 now and still love this song and miss the 90s so much.
I forgot about this song, and I was in the class of 2004 high school but it came out in 1998 when I was middle school... man how crazy..it reminds me of those years 98-2004 up in Calabasas.
My mother loved this song in the 90’s ❤ rest in peace mom 1967-2024
Miss u mom ❤️
I miss my mom too! We will see them again!
Oh man. What a great song.
God speed to mama.
Sorry about your loss!
RIP my mom passed in March.
Oh how I wish I could go back to the 90's and re-live it one more time.
:(
U and me both I was young then lol

And the drugs?

Was my dads favorite song. Always played it on his guitar. Lost him last January, miss him everyday. Thinking of him today especially 💔

My mom was i think a teen in the 90s but she never told me specifically, she is 28 now
@@hihi15yearsago56 Your mom is 8 years younger than me if she's 28.I was a teen in the 90s so your mom would've been around 8 years old in 99-00. So more of a 90s baby and teenager in the mid 2000s.
As a kid in the 80's we didn't worry about kidnapping or being shot and if we needed to talk we would tell a friend to tell a friend to call. No cellphones no tweets no Facebook. Life was great.

Miss the days of going down to my friends basement that was finished and play video games and clown around
Growing up in the 80's/90's was possibly the best time to be raised in modern history
I was 22 and married a dud not dude she was a female unlike today you can't really tell what's what sad compared to 27 years ago
This song breaks me down hard every time I hear it and no matter where I'm at. My sweet little step daughter would sing this song every single time it played while we were driving. I still hear her voice as clear as a bell in her car seat as we were going down the road. She was taken to Heaven shortly before her 3rd birthday in 1999. Even after all those years it still hurts.
Sending hugs to you!
The melody is so beautiful. I can imagine her singing it and nodding her head to it. That pain never goes away, but sometimes when we hear songs like this, they can make us smile and remember the good times.
Aww that breaks my heart . So sorry for your loss…what a song for an angel to sing ! ❤️
Thanks for the tears. Im so sorry, that breaks my heart.😥🙏
@@melissaanderson7010 I'm an odd one, I cannot go there, I cannot look at pictures, listens to songs, or revisit anything that has to do with someone I knew who is no longer here. The pain is too great.
I can't help but smile because I was fortunate to spend my teenage years in the last, great, American decade - THE 90'S ! And that's not typical nostalgia talking. You feel it, I feel it. Everyone knows it. The 90's was the last decade of simplicity and there was a cultural fabric in music and movies that united us. Even one hit wonders had a heart and passion that today's names couldn't even come close to replicating.
This resonates deep with me. I didn't always feel like my childhood was happy at the time, but looking back at life in the 90's, I see so much that's missing from today. I can't help but feel that something important is lost and gone forever.
R Channe I agree. I remember the 80's and 90's very well (I'm 40) and the 90's was the evolution of the 80's. Culture today is something else. I now understand, and have for some time, the nostalgia that my parents felt, and that I thought they were crazy for feeling. Each generation to its own, I suppose.
Well said!
I totally agree with your statement on the 90s being fortunate enough to grow up in that era!!!
R Channe I was there! Class of 2000!
The greatest songs are the ones that make you feel happy and sad at the same exact time. That's what beauty is
That’s so true. Like Blind Melon “ No Rain “ or Jane’s Addiction “ Jane Says”
Spot on
If it wasn't for music, I'm pretty sure I'd be dead! Music has gotten me threw some very dark days!
Man you hit it right on the head - this song in particular makes me feel happy, melancholy and admittedly a yearning for the glorious 90's
Sad with a sense of hope
I am honestly confident that I can say this is in my top 5 favorite songs of all time
Yeah this one in the local h tied to the floor
My top 13
I totally agree!
I count myself so very lucky to be a kid in the 80s and spent my 20s in the 1990s. I really miss the feeling of listening to this every day
Same here, I was born in 69 and my parents listened to Blondie, Bee Gee's, Blue Oyster cult, and The Eagles. Graduated in 88. Moved to Bradenton Fla. Wouldn't trade a minute.
True dat.🤗
Me too.... I graduated HS in 90 and was in college till 95... fun times....
Me too! Graduated HS in '92. Killer tunes in the 80's/90's.
80s baby and I graduated in 2000. So spent my childhood and teens in the 80s and 90s and literally became an adult in the year 2000. Sometimes wish I had been born a little bit earlier so I could have experienced the 80s more rather than only vaguely remembering bits and pieces of the latter part of the decade but just glad I got to experience them at all. The 90s had some great music and movies but I'm obsessed with just about anything 80s.
This was the song that was playing at the bar when my mom and dad met. This was one of his favorite songs ever too. He passed away when I was 3 in 2002. They played this song at his funeral too... I was just thinking about him and this was in my recommended. I love you and miss you dad! Thank you the flys
Sorry for your loss. What a beautiful song to meet your better half to. I just posted a min ago that this makes me think of when I fell in love with my best friend. Good and bad times but were still close today!
@Vlad Drac that's awesome!
Michael Blesse thank you for sharing that. Sorry about your dad❤️
Im sorry for your loss bro.
I wasn't expecting the attention on the comment, thank yall for the kind words. Tomorrow is Father's day, and of course I came back to listen to his song. Love yall, thanks
It's crazy how music can bring you back to an exact moment in time. Music really is beautiful.
It's like a photo album that can't be taken away cause it lives forever in the back of your mind even if you forget it's there. For as long as you're around, whenever you go back to that place, it's always there waiting for you.
Definitely
Yep takes me back to when I was dating my husband ! Bought the cd ❤
@@endrankluvsda4loko172 Beautifully said!
All of a sudden I was 12 again and I don't regret it
I don’t know about everyone else but 1994 through 2004, that 10 year span was the best time of my life. From 28yrs old thru 38. Great music..great times. I’d love to go back and experience it all over again. 😢
Same here 😊
9 years for me. 1990-1999.
I met my wife at a tavern over 170 years ago and this song was playing. Each time I hear it, brings back memories.
Time is nonexistent.
Best YT comment I've read this month.
170 years ago, a long time ago. Abraham Lincoln was probably jamming to this song.
You say "tavern"...was it possibly a "saloon"? I like to think it was a wild west saloon in the mid-1850s...a bunch of outlaws are playing poker and blackjack at various tables when a dude playing the saloon piano in the corner starts playing this riff...
170 dang how old are you 😂😂
Introduced my 14 yr old daughter to this song a couple of yeard ago and it makes me happy to hear her playing it in her room
- Haha..... Keep being a great influencer to her, mom... They grow up way to FAST!
You're raising her right. Hate hearing young kids who are 18, 19, 20 years old and they don't even know artists such as Nirvana, Madonna, Green Day, Hole, Korn, System of a Down and so on. Keep on introducing her to the classics.
Sending this to my 15 year old now
25 years later and that reggae part still comes out of nowhere
No way this song came out 25 years ago!
25 years ago, I was 25 years old, single, didn't have 4 kids, and was at the bar all weekend long, every single weekend! Lol
Almost 26 years ago now. Damn!
I don't think you know what reggae is lol he rapped over rock music how is that raggae?
Time to bring back the 90s
1997 I was 18. Still in high school. Now I'm pushing 40. Damn, the years went by quick. Ah well. Back to sleep.
Viva La Rosa I'm 37 and can totally relate
Viva La Rosa
In 97 i was 37
And my mother died that June
Unexpectedly
I ended up cari g and managing childhood home for the summer
Alone
I used to dance to Peter Murphys solo cds
(I believe he came out of another huge band. Gang of 4..or
Bauhaus?)
Those three brilliant albums
And i swear it was a transcendent experience. It healed me and was my medicine in grieving loss of Mom.
The irony was;
That shit was already
More than 15 yrs old
In 1997!!!😭😪👋💛😂😳😒
But not for me!!!
Never think you will never find magic again in current music
Its waiting right there for you
Keep the Faith!##
Fucker u ant pushing 40 u pushing 25
we never die, just change bodies
I was 24 in 1997 and I'm about to turn 45! Oh please God help me!
The 90s hands down gave us the absolute best musical masterpieces.
I remember the first time I heard this song. It was on the soundtrack from the movie Disturbing Behavior.
It's still on my playlist today 24 yrs later, and every time I hear it...it's pure nostalgic bliss 💗
I'll never give up the 90s. Never.
90s was the best!!!
God knew cancel culture would suck, so he gave us a literal renaissance before the end of fun.
90s was good, but nah that is the 80s. 90s was a good sequel tho.
Thank you I was wondering what movie it was from. I'm not sure if I saw it. But Katie Holmes she was the leading lady for young women. So many good movies.
I can’t explain how much I was in love with this song as a teenager. Mannnn I miss the 90s so damn much ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Your telling me! Scary part is when you find photo's of yourself from then and think--Damn I am old now!
@@sidewinder4702 I wish that only happened when I see old pictures.
Best decade to grow up in!!❤️
I hear you.. I blinked and it`s now 2023.. Where did it go?
A blink. 😢
I met the drummer while skydiving in California, in the 2000's. Great guy!
Are you the album cover ?😂
I met the drummer of Smashing Pumpkins
I met the drummer too and he gave me his drumsticks! It was a show in a small venue in Tempe, AZ. Good times!
I miss the 90's so damn much... It really was the last great decade.
Fuck yea it was man, i miss it like crazy
- Haha... those were the "good ole' days" unlike the fucked up ones were living today...
People who lived through the 60s and 70s probably said the same thing 20 years ago. Every generation sees theirs as the last great one, it’s all about perspective and where we are individually on this imaginary line of time. With that said I miss the sh*t out of this and my youth
so true
YES
I turned 17 in 1997 and this just brings it all back for me. What a great time to be a kid and have that alternative and grunge sound track for life.
It was definitely interesting having grunge rock and rap go mainstream in Jr high then alternative and gangster rap during high school with pop punk and third wave ska all thrown into the mix. I turned 18 the summer of 97.
Kids now days will never understand.90's music, CD's and cassettes were LIFE!
The 90s was the greatest rock in my opinion, I turned 20 in 97 and have been jamming out to 90s music the last 2 weeks. Memories
Exactly!! I agree 💯. And, I was born in 1980, so 17 in 1997..... the 90's music just doesn't. Get. Any. Better.
@@mattg7952 best years so far, if i just knew what i had.
I can't believe I'm 43 damn time "Flys" 18 yo High School Grad! Life with friends hanging out having fun, not thinking about tomorrow, just living in the moment, songs like this playing! Yes good times. Now a days songs like this are played on Oldie Radio Stations 😬😪 makes me smile, but then I say to myself DAMN MAN, YOU GOT OLD!!! WTF LOL!!!!
Amen brother.
I'm 42 and I don't remember hearing this before this year. I opened Pandora; i sure am glad got you flys flovesjesus.
We are all brothers like got you flys flovesjesus.@@bjkarana
....how time flies, like a bjkarana.
bzzzz joke
I heard that dude!! 😎
Cheers from another 1980 baby (or '81). Will never be lost on me how fortunate we were to be young when this music (and country too) was the sign of the times. Different then what's new. The last of an era before social media and technology changed us so much that humanity straight left the building. Our innate need is connection. They lied when they said social media bled that. It stole it. Connected in the flesh not connected to the onlinr, edited, 1%, exaggerated lie we share. It's a disease that is irradicating us as a species. Measuring our worth with the phony currency of clicks and views and letting that be what determines our value. That is terrifying.
Sorry, I'm told I am longwinded and "too much." Long story sorta short...music is that universal language. It holds memories of experiences. Ones most often shared that connect us on another level. We fill arenas by the tens of thousands where our differences suddenly aren't a threatening matter. Which they shouldn't be anyway but you get my meaning. 43 years old. This music erases 20. It also pulls at the strings of who I was. So easily. It taps into the unjaded fearless gung hoe of being young. We ain't dead, though. So let's get back to really connecting. Perhaps a revival of real music that matters and says a thing could help that along. Meanwhile I'll give props to the UA-cam comment section for allowing 40 somethings a chance to remember we ain't dead. ❤🤙🏼🎶✌🏼
Oh God this was my song back in 97. I remember when I first heard it, it felt like someone blew cold air into my body. I still get chills from it. Loved this by the Flys
I truly believe if this band had made other songs with double microphones they would have been HUGE. I love this song. It's one of those that give you chill bumps.
That bass guitar!! ALL of it!!!!
They did... Adam patented his setup.. "The Paskowicz Nebulizer".. and they released a couple of excellent albums. Adam did some Queen and Bowie covers with his own separate band that are just divine.
It sounds as good today as it did back in 1998!! That bass riff at the end of the song has always sounded like FN cool!! Thanks for the memories the Flys!!
This never gets old. Long live the 90s.
I don’t know what it is about hearing “old” 90’s songs that makes me not want to go on for one more second, yet never want to “leave” all at the same time 💔
This song will forever give me the feels!!!! Ahhh 90's music!!!
Kayla22 miss the 90’s
I like the feels too. You
You aint the only one girl
I think you're smart, you sweet thangggg!
Hmmm how intricate
I'm glad I could help. Myself as well.
I started high school in 1990 and graduated college in 1999....music, concerts, tv shows and movies were the best. Absolutely awesome.
Just one extra year, not bad but not something to shout about. If you said graduated in 1996 I would be impressed.
I remember singing this in the shower at my friends house after a very long night of drinking. He was playing the CD in the bedroom...
Being young was awesome.
damn right it was
Being young was a great place to be.
Nostalgia is the best drug
I LOVED this movie (Disturbing Behavior) and this theme song. So good.
Thank you. I was searching all of these comments for this movie title.
i remember in 97’
i was just a teenager
just driving around on a full tank of gas
listening to music
i’m glad i got to experience the 90s
no bills and no worries in life
Same! I would do anything for a week back.
Me too bro. I miss that shit more than anything. Smoking weed and listening to burnt cd’s 💿 I made on my computer or cassette tapes. That was the best
You had a full tank?.... man... fuel was cheap then
Right there with you!!!!!! Best days of my life
This song makes me feel that desperation of first love, your first time. The milestones of growing up.
I was with my first love then. So yes it does!
How can you not love this SONG?!!!
Houdini
I can't explain how. Only who
Because it's bad.
@@Firevine This song is bad? Are you off your rocket, man?
@@bear-qe7ep yeah he’s on crack for sure
I had just graduated Highschool in 1998 when this song came out. I ran to Best Buy for the CD. It was an awesome summer of that year. We didn’t know what the future unfolded. Wish I can go back!
I fell in love with this song in the summer of '99 at age 16 when I moved from Illinois to Florida that summer. This song was like a coming of age for me, and The Deftones as well.... I totally miss the day's of innocence 🤔😅
Trisha Cooley Deftones for me too. Still an amazing band
I love it when I come across a song I'd totally forgotten about but really liked at the time. This song came out the year after I graduated from college.
In the Meantime by Space Hog.
Still listening to this in 2024. It takes me back to high school days…skipping class to go smoke a fatty. Those were the good ole days!💯😎
I’m 40 and remember this soulful piece! Screaming angrily at the universe at 14 was epic! ❤
Awesome fucking song!!! Love this alternative style back in the mid-to-late 90s. This song brings back so many memories. God, I cannot believe how old this is ... I know I'm NOT alone on this ...
Marc Amico I love this song
Anyone remember that song Little Black Backpack? I don't even know if that's the name of it, but...it was a cool song as well.
Brings me back to watching MTV while getting ready for high school, telling mom I _don't_ need to wear that flannel she dug out of the laundry basket because I'm wearing my Nirvana shirt today with my good jeans, and I have to be cool.
I'm a 36 year old woman that loves this song and now I can play it on guitar. My life is complete 😍❤
U rock 😊I would luv too hear it😋😋😋
Welcome to your Forties!
46yo and first time I’m hearing this jam. Can’t believe I missed this one during its prime.
I'm a 62 year old female and I'm in the same boat as well. I remember hearing this in the 90's but not LOVING it like I do now! Rock on and enjoy! ❤😊
Haha! I know the feeling. I’m 46 and first heard Mazzy Star’s Fade Into You for my first time this year 😂 Idk how I missed out on that song. This one I just forgot exists til today. Time sure flies by for us.

Nostalgia 💚
Being 40 I was fortunate to live through and remember most of the 90s lol
Some of the best music came from the 90s!!
I graduated in 97'
Class of '97 here too! Hey😊
I was born in '88 and remember all of the 90's. Well '93 and up anyway
I'm class of 98..I love growing up discovering all different kinds of genres..this is a great song..
Same here Class of 1997! Best years of my life.
Eric Leon Kingery class of 96 and the 90s kicked ass
I'm a metal guy but when this song comes on I blast it loud... To be 17 again. I was able to see them in Houston bet then. PHENOMENAL SONG!!!

This song reminds me of when my husband and I first met.. I was bartending, and he came in and sat at the bar and we talked all night. When we got married, his nickname for me was Sweet Thing. I always told him our daughter got her brains from him, and he would say she got her brains from both of us, and tell me, I was smart.. He passed away 10 years ago. No other song, touches my heart, in so many ways, like this song!!
My heart goes out to you! Sounds like such an amazing husband! May the future be prosperous and bright.

The 90's were a great time to be a teenager right?!! This song sums up my teen years..early 20's.
I wish I could go back and do a lot of this different.

This song always takes me back. I heard this in Disturbing behavior back when I was a teenager and I've been hooked ever since. 🥰😏
Thanks, I was trying to remember which movie this song was in.
Awesome song! Fun movie!
They definitely Got me where they want me.. stuck on the feels of this song... oh 90s take me back!!!!
Same gurl! Lol! After being beat and abused and had the PoPo take the fucker away yesterday, and I'm gud! Lol!
If you go back please take me with you
Miss this stuff so much...you don't realize what you've got til it's gone.
deep and very true, was thinking the same thought.
Amanda Fernatt yeah, i don't think they make music the way they used to.. it's just not the same anymore.
Amanda Fernatt so true
I wish someone would sing this to me LOL...that doesn't happen in "real life"...
I was in high school in the early 2000's... I noticed then that music was changing and not as good as it was previously in the 90's...
I remember these guys well. I used to see them out in LA. They worked hard to get signed, and they were nice people, too. I had this demo somewhere. It was undeniable that it would be a hit.
I hope one day everybody here we get back to the 90s. And live there forever
Quote from FanBoys. "Some like to call it heaven, I call it Iowa"

The 90's were most definitely my favorite era of music so far. I knew it when it was happening. This is no hindsight / glory days crap. I could feel the 90's were special while the music was happening. I was born in the mid-60's and so I did not really get to jam on that music until I was older but appreciated what a great time the 60's and 70's were for music. I was a teenager in the 80's and honestly very little at that time did anything for me musically. But the 90's... And this tune sort of exemplifies the beauty of that time and that music. Such great music and great times. I really wish that people and music would connect more universally like we all did in the 90's.
But you had Joy Division and The Smiths in the 80's. That was a strong era too
+Wayne Bainbridge YES! and the cure and xtc and bjork was new w the sugarcubes and i could go on and on and...
But the 80’s had The Cure, Echo & the Bunnymen, R.E.M., U2 (before they got huge), The Smiths, Tears For Fears etc.!
Never gets old,Still one of the best. 2024 anyone🤟😎💖?
97' graduate still loving on this ❤

I had forgotten how much I loved this song back in the day. Thank you for posting it & reminding me. 💜
I don't know why this song makes me so nostalgic. I thought it was ok back in the day but it was no where near my favorite song at the time. Something about it just gets me now though. I listen and I'm back there, when life was good and everything hadn't gone completely off the rails yet. The 90's were an extremely exciting time in music. Artists were doing things that would've never been attempted at any other time. It was an amazing musical Era to live through.
Where does the time go? Nowhere, it just never slows down, never stops. The 90's was by far the best decade for music, and I was an 80's guy.
The look, the styles, the sound, the smell of the 90's. Got you where I want you. ❤️
Ck 1 and silver tabs. Lol and hydro
Just bought a new car...it doesn't have a cd player, so I took out all my cd's & was going through them. Came across this cd, and honestly couldn't remember why I bought it. Read all the names of the songs, immediately recognized "Got you where I want you", but couldn't remember the tune or words. Came here, found it & have played it on loop mode for the last hour! I will never forgot this song again. What an INCREDIBLE, AMAZING song!!
Woke up hearing this beaudy this morning. Probably haven't heard it in over a decade! The lyrics, the sound, the vibes go straight to my heart and soul
I love this song 1st time i hear on a radio.when I was 19.. now I'm 38..this night i found it..19yrs of searching because I don't know the title 😂.. date Sunday 20:45pm 12-8-2024.
Every single one hit wonder from the 90's is 100 times better than the music coming out now. What's really crazy is that no one is one hit wonder anymore.
Well except for Gotye, and maybe that Hozier guy.
damn right!
That's because there's no hits. No good ones anyway.
***** Gorillaz are one hit wonders? dood .. you're so wrong
WELL SAID AND I AGREE
I was 16 when this came out. I remember getting ready for school and listening to this. How I wish I could go back to the simple days.
People tell kids & teens these are the best years of your life and kids want to grow up. Once we grow up and so many friends & family are gone away (some dead), we wish we could go back.
You n me both
He had me where he wanted me. Hope yout life is great and you found the happiness you were looking for. I accept it, it's been over.
Definitely on the list of quintessential 90s songs
This song and Vertical Horizon The Best I Ever Had hit me the same way, so far down in the gut you can't find them.
I could listen and have listened to this song a million times and never get tired of it... never
It hurts to hear this song, but its also cathartic and reminds me how grateful i am to have grown up in an era without smartphones. The digital age is upon us, and quite frankly....i fuckin hate it. I'd sacrifice 10 years off my like to go back to the 90's for just a week.
I'm with you. They can take these phones and shove 'em. Let's go back.
I just turned 29 last month, fortunate enough to have spent the first 10 years of my life in the glorious 90s. For me, it was the era of playing Sonic on the Sega Genesis, Super Mario World on the SNES, etc., and then later it became Twisted Metal 2 on PS1, Golden Eye on N64. It was a decade of great comedians like Jim Carey, Adam Sandler, and Chris Farley to name a few. It was the decade of email and the internet ... I can remember sending my first email at the bank my aunt worked at at the age of 5 (1995). And for music, the 90s was truly a golden age. I'm glad that songs like this got radio play; that way I can listen back on them and remember just how different the world felt during this decade not long past. Whenever I hear this song, I am (for some reason) reminded of waiting in my parent's car outside of a local Massachusetts pizzeria one night, when this song came on the radio and I began singing it to myself in the solitude of an empty vehicle. I was 8 years old and in the 3rd grade, and there was a girl named Dorian that I had a crush on; for some reason this song reminded me of her. "I think you're smart, you sweet thing. Tell me your sign, I'm dying here." Pure nostalgia ... kind of surreal in a way to remember back on these times, almost like they never actually happened and it was all just a nice dream.
DDball you just brought back so many memories my childhood. '92
Does all seem like a dream compared to now
I’d give anything to go back to being 21 and listening to this. The 90s were incredible.
I really want a 90's grunge type movement to hit. It's desperatly needed right now.
jnixa1010 So true.
jnixa1010 AMEN to that!
Listen to bands like Cloud Nothings or Fidlar. I'm telling you that kind of music is coming back!
SuperhappyMrFoley Check out Pregnant Whale Pain. Kind of like Alice in Chains mixed with Tool
Yea like please lol
Man the lead singer had a million dollar voice. I wish I could sing like that!
I was driving back cross country, moving back east after trying the west, November 1998. All I had was my car stereo and they began playing this song on a few stations. I liked it instantly, 90's rock then wasn't as good as it had been for a couple of years, and this song sounded good. I saw them on Conan a little later and loved it!
The 90’s BABY!!! Growing older now and feeling really good. Realizing how fortunate I am for growing up in that time period. Everything was just...I don’t know ...just better lol. Great song btw. Peace love and unity to everyone in the comment section!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
I was 30 in 1997. The best time of my life❤
Saw Disturbing Behavior in theaters in 98 and fell in love with this song.
The 90s. I was sooo lucky to have grown up in this AMAZING AWESOME decade!!!!! Everything about the 1990s was amazing, the movies, the music, the tv shows, even school was cool back then. None of this bullshit technology now a days like cell phones, internet, social media. Thank God there was NO social media!!!!! Kids these days missed out big time. For real tho, the 1990s was a really amazing decade. I really miss it
A car passed me today playing this song. I'd forgotten all about it. Love this song.....so good to hear it again. Brings back memories I tell ya!!! Thank you for posting. Xoxo
One of the most under rated songs of the 90’s.
Saw these guys in concert in 95. Man what a time it was to be alive!!
Then you missed out on the 70s but 90s was definitely great
The Midnight Club Brought me here such a great soundtrack. I was 18 when this song came out and instantly felt teleported back to the 90s when being a young adult was some of the best times for me. The hangouts with many friends, the heartaches, the tv shows, movies, books, and the music created what I am today. I hear this and man did we have the last great Era just pass us by too fast.
I'm 39 yrs old and still love this song! I was able to to understand the lyrics to songs then. Lol It also has me thinking of someone.
+Angela Wilson I'm 39 as well. I use to jam this one out with my band. Great times and great memories. Still love this song!!
+Angela Wilson Me too
Angela Wilson right?
ew does any ass taste good
Angela Wilson me too
I forgot where I first heard this, but that is the point.
Those drums are solid.
Oh hell, this song fell off my radar ! YES, one of the best of the 80's/90's. THE BEST DECADES to come of age in America. I loved every single minute, every band, every song. We weren't hipsters, not rebels for changes, didn't hate our country........we were just kids trying to get through school. And lo and behold, the great bands and musicians were right there, to guide us.
Used to listen to this in Mission Beach, California back in 1998.
First time I seen a 420 T-Shirt.
The rollercoaster last man riding challenge was going on.
Like every other person commenting here, this absolutely takes me back to high school. We had so much cool music. What happened? Maybe I just got old.
I was 31 when this song hit in 97, and you would THINK that it would miss me, because I was too old, but you'd be wrong. I was that extended adolescent dating 23 year olds and living at night. Luckily, I looked young too. I'm 58 now and still love this song and miss the 90s so much.
I was 35
Out of nowhere this song popped up in head, so here I am wondering how awesome this song has always been
Thank you so much for posting this, another great example of the beautiful songs that we had in the 90’s
The 90s absolutely was the shit!! I miss it sooo much.
I forgot about this song, and I was in the class of 2004 high school but it came out in 1998 when I was middle school... man how crazy..it reminds me of those years 98-2004 up in Calabasas.
Burbank here❤
