Still no "How Bizzare"? I'm disappointed big time.. That was my youth. 😢
Bro had existential crisis speed run in the beginning
Natalie Imbrulia at the time of "Torn" was married to Daniel Johns from Silverchair.
She started off on the Australian soap opera "Neighbours" before she started singing like her fellow allumi of the show Kylie Minogue.
Patreon is the wood and you are the fuel that burns and roasts. Or is Patreon the fuel
Mambo Number 5 is a story of inspiration and dedication. I mean Lou Bega had to write four other Mambos and none of them went anywhere before he wrote Mambo number 5 and finally made a hit.
one of my buddies saw that dude live as an opener for some other horse shit and he apparently had nothing else to go on and did the song twice in the set
The other ones lacked TRUMPET!
Just search Perez Prado
I remember watching Finn Mckenty with my long passed away friend, bringing good memories back, good times
yes my long past friend is gone, but not in my heart
stay strong
I'll never forget the first time I heard Finn realize he was old. I was taking my dying elderly Aunt Gertrude to her chemo appointment and my car's bluetooth connected to TPRMBA. Finn's voice blasted out of the speakers...pontificating on Hatebreed lyrics or some shit. In a panic I jumped to turn down my stereo fearing I'd blow her poor eardrums out. She said "Don't turn down your stereo for me...crank it up!" Miss you Gertie.
🤣
one like is one prayer for Gertie.
Oh god, Finn's therapy session really lifted off to new levels when Natalie Imbruglia's Torn started
I literally LOL'd multiple times there 😂😂 too good
My dad and I watched this video together five minutes ago. Then he walked outside and was hit by a hog that fell from a cargo plane. He died. So, now when I watch this again ten minutes later, all I can think of is how my dad loved this video until he was hit by the random flying pig.
RIP in peace, pops 🙏
F
I remember watching my uncle die at the hospital. I was playing your videos at the moment and was able to get through it without getting bummed. Thanks Finn. RIP uncle but not everything is about you
Seriously, how selfish of him
That Torn video review was top tier Finn. Hilarious.
I thought the guy looked a little like Matthew McConaughey from his old 90s romcoms. Darn you Matt, how dare you take Kate Hudson from me!
I was with my suger momma listening to this Finn, many years ago, but she's gone now. thanks for the laughs. I know she's looking down right now happy that i can still watch another classic Finn, crapping on my favorite oldies video.
Fly to the angels, sugar momma 🙌
I've had a huge crush as a kid on Natalie Imbruglia. I remember Mtv playing music videos with random facts about the artists, and one of hers was that she was a bullied at school, and in Arthur s fist meme fashion all a naive teenager like me wanted is to save her from those bullies and tell her how amazing she was.
BRING BACK POP UP VIDEO
''I can save her''
Torn was like a guilty pleasure for all of us punk/hxc kids. lol. her and lisa loeb were who we crushed on in those days.
Achy breaky heart spanish version "No rompas mas" is always a blast at Mexican weddings, everyone runs to the pit when listen to the chorus and goes nuts when the riff starts
I used to Dj weddings and I had never heard that version, but for real it brings everyone out lol
I've just been to a Mexican wedding and the first 90 minutes was solidly Pitbull songs. Then they played Las Ketchup and all the non-Mexicans got up to dance.
I didn't realise that line dancing was a thing at mexican weddings until my own wedding (British guy married to a Mexican woman and living in Mexico)
I've been to several weddings here since and I still haven't figured out the steps... And don't even get me started on the fucking rodeo clown song!
@particlejim You brits are still trying to get into Mexcio dammit. Viva la Espana! What was it like moving to Mexico and being the first Brit to ever taste spices on your food?
Fun Fact: Billy Ray Cyrus peaked at No.1 at the album charts in 1992, on No.2 was Megadeth''s biggest success album "Countdown to Extinction". Something Mustaine can' t get over with' next to the Metallica thing.^^
Good. Dave Mustaine deserves to live in eternal butthurtdom for being the greatest guitarist to ever be absolutely horrible at writing lyrics.
Finn laughing at the dead relative comments brings me the most joy
Natalie Imbruglia's Torn is an amazing song.
She ripped it off from some Polish girl allegedly.
Its horrible.😅
@@davidcrawford8583 However, we were left in a state of shock when we found out that it was actually a cover of another artist’s song.
In 1993, the song was written for Danish singer Lis Sørensen and was later recorded by rock band, Ednaswap.
However, the track didn’t garner much attention until a few years later when Natalie gave us all the feels with her version.
@@mhh7544 She was hot though, still is. Even if I'm perhaps the only person here who remembers her as 'Beth' in Neighbours.
@@davidcrawford8583 That show never aired here so I cant really tell.
Euro dance is the best electronic dance music. Bloodhound Gang's electronic songs are pure gold and I'm surprised they don't play them at clubs. Although I haven't gone to any clubs to verify this, it probably is the case.
I remember when my dad and I used to watch Finn McKenty together for hours on end. RIP Dad.
I want an entire video dedicated to you showing photos of you throughout the 80s - 2010s
Best thing about "jump around" was it was written by DJ muggs for cypress hill. B-real said "no chance" so muggs gave it to house of pain, but when it became a hit cypress hill started performing it.
My boy Finn is on the fly writing a 90s Rom Com screenplay during the Natalie Imbruglia video!
My dad invented metal line dancing at a Napalm Death gig in 1989. Unfortunately, when he launched himself off the stage he got tangled up in Shane Embury’s bass cord and asphyxiated. I cry for hours every time I hear You Suffer.
Finn: we need more line dances at metal shows
Me: isn't moshing basically the metal equivalent of line dancing? 😅
Vitamin C also used to be the vocalist for an alt rock band called Eve’s Plum. It’s grunge meets power pop. Pretty underrated actually.
I love the rom coms you write while watching music videos.
Billy ray Cyrus sounds like if Pearl Jam did country 😂
Billy Ray Cyrus has an amazing legacy. He has one of the biggest country songs of all time, he’s the father of Miley Cyrus, Noah Cyrus and Trace Cyrus from Metro Station. He’s also on the most popular version of old town road, one of the biggest songs of all time. That’s something to be proud of
And he was in Mulholland Drive, one of the most critically acclaimed films of the 2000s! Dude has had a crazy life.
@@DavidGonzalez-oz8ns and he was the best part in it too
Billy Ray Cyrus also starred in the hit Disney series Hannah Montana as none other than the esteemed and dignified Billy Ray Cyrus, father to Miley Cyrus aka Hannah Montana.
I have been all over the comments talking about what a skilled business entertainment star Billy Ray is. The dude cant stop winning. What he did by jumping on Old Town Road in order to help Lil Nas X get back on country charts and radio was GENIUS. I don't personally like the song, but it would NEVER have gotten to where is did without Billy helping Nas X with the remix.
I just turned 40 last month. Ths is taking me waaaaaay back to my childhood.
My ancestor from 1563 died while watching C&C music factory because he wouldnt dance now as he was busy fighting off the saxons. So this worst & best video hits hard 😥😥
RIP in peace hans 🙏🙏
Fun Fact: Natalie Imbruglia in the 'Torn' video was the direct inspiration for Lammy from the PS1 game 'Um Jammer Lammy', which spun off from 'PaRappa the Rapper"
Fellow Gen X-er here! Your intro on facing your mortality hit close to home! I remember waiting tables at Pizza Hut when "Ackey Break-y Heart" was played in the restaurant more than I cared for because I worshiped at the alter of Nirvana in 1992 lol
I just recently learned Torn is actually a cover. I was shocked, and I don't really know why.
I hope that Finn is comforted by the fact that irl Natalie married the singer of Silverchair. So even though video clip Natalie was into Chad's, irl Natalie dug alternative guys who were into her poetry 😂
Daniel Johns was my first love. I’m still jealous of her, even though they broke up 😂
I grew up in Central/Eastern Kentucky - if you weren't there you can't understand how big Billy Ray was. He was everywhere, my local country store sold bootleg tapes of "Achy Breaky Heart" and during our little local Fourth of July celebration they would Clog (you remember clogging?) to "Achy Breaky Heart" lol
Billy Ray doesn't get enough cred because most people only hear music, you know what i mean? The large majority of people are do not listen listen like that. Anyone in the know, knows Bill Ray Cyrus has his hand in so many cookie jars that he'd have beem super successful evem before he created one of the largest mega stars ever in hois daughter. Also he is not a one hit wonder anymore, a 90s ohw for sure. But hate it or love it, him jumping on Old Town Road in order to help Lil Nas X get his song back onto country charts was GENIUS.
Here en Mexico there's a spanish version that we dance at weddings, at clubs, at parties, etc. and it's called "No rompas más mi pobre corazón - Caballo dorado"
The power of alcohol makes many of these hold up. Particularly Mambo No. 5. Play that in a pub on Saturday night and punters go mental. Natalie Imbruglia was married to Daniel Johns from Silverchair. haha. Love the channel.
Natalie: "I'm all out of faith"
Me: "k, so?"
Natalie: "this is how I feel"
Me: "whatever"
Natalie: "I'm cold and I'm alone"
Me: "don't care"
Natalie: "lying naked on the floor"
Me: "YOU HAVE MY FULL AND UNDIVIDED ATTENTION!"
And that is the story of how this became a hit.
😂
Finn… your passion for Natalie did not go unnoticed… we love u 😂
Vitamin C video has 'Buffy the vampire slayer' vibes
This video just reminds me of my favourite UA-camr who used to make a series of "The WORST & Best 90s One Hit Wonders" videos. I couldn't even finish this one man... RIP Finn...
He isn't dead, he just disappeared into the country charts ether
Thank you Finn! On a 74 hour shift and you’ve woke me up laughing today. Really appreciate your content x
I remember every one of these songs. And Natalie was IT for me. I've always loved my goth girls, but I loved Natalie back then. I listened to the song even though I didn't like it back then. Lol.
We all had a crush on Nathalie back then :) And also 90's Gwen Stefani and Shirley Manson!
I remember Mambo No. 5 being played everywhere. It was a Summer song. I was at the kid’s table hearing this at a neighborhood cookout, thinking Wow this song is really popular
I'm surprised that no mention is made of the fact that, after House Of Pain, DJ Lethal was in Limp Bizkit (who are the greatest joke of the scene which spawned them too), and Everlast went on to do folk-hop songs like "What It's Like."
@Bill Adams. Eminem then dissed Everlast as they had beef, and Em said in one of his songs that Limp stole DJ Lethal from Everlast as a dig, basically saying even DJ Lethal didn’t want anything to do with Everlast.
Then ironically Eminem then on had beef with DJ Lethal, and was annoyed with Fred. What happened was Fred wanted Eminem to do a collab with Limp Bizkit. Em was cool with that, Em said yeah let’s do a collab. Then Fred and Eminem was trying to work with each other but Fred is notorious for being picky and fussy with his material, so Fred didn’t like anything that he and Eminem was doing. So Em got annoyed with Fred being really fussy and Em basically said whatever dude I’m out. So then Eminem dissed him on one of his tracks but Em had more beef with DJ Lethal, I’m not sure what the Eminem and Lethal beef was about though. But Em dissed DJ Lethal on the same track.
Eminem was at first good friends with Fred Durst, Eminem appeared on Limp Bizkit’s Break Stuff video. And before Eminem got famous he was in the music video for KoRn’s Got The Life, as they were having a party while shooting the video. You can see Fred Durst, Tito Ortiz and Eminem for split seconds in the party while they were shooting the video for KoRn’s Got The Life.
Eminem then tried to give Munky from KoRn his tapes during that party, but Munky said in an interview that he was drunk as fuck when Eminem came up to him, and only remembers Eminem coming up to him with tapes and then saying to Eminem, I’m just the guitar player. But just a year or even months later Dr Dre saw Em and signed him.
Jonathan Davis teases that to Munky a lot by saying they could’ve been billionaires by now if they had signed Eminem.
Everyone remembers Mambo #5, no one remembers the far superior Tricky Tricky.
There's a local Toyota dealership that uses Mambo No. 5 the basis for a jingle in an ad the play all the time on TV or the radio, and I'll be damned but it's truly effective at getting stuck rent free in my head for the rest of the day.
Finn incel energy coming out at the end and I'm all for it! Let that midriff wearing himbo have it, lol! And that Vitamin C video has what I call the American Pie aesthetic. And I'll forever have a thing for that hairstyle, whatever you wanna call it. It's like the female equivalent of the bleached, spiked look all the guys had, but spikes are long and downward and hair was orange or pink or streaked.
Vitamin C is also the singer from the 90s band Eves Plumb and the girl from Roger Waters' version of HAIRSPRAY
Funny he mentions Woodstock 99 and DJ Lethal was in both House of Pain and Limp Bizkit lol
Loved this one dude, well done 🤘
I love your take on that A hole in the "torn" video. You are correct sir!
One of my favorite 90s subgenres is the Euro dance songs that had the sassy R&Bish singer belting the choruses and the gravelly voiced guy rapping the verses/bridge. This includes "Gonna Make You Sweat" but also "Be My Lover," "Around the World," Barbie Girl," etc. Basically, roller rink music.
My favorite part was Finn's existential crisis.
Finn. You're awesome bro. You do a great job man...I grew up in Albany, NY in the late 80s and 90s punk hardcore era...good times....but anyways I just wanted to say thanks, your content is super entertaining. Keep it up brother Thanks.
“Gonna Make You Sweat ”always reminds me of watching the SpaceJam movie as a kid.
This was nice Finn. Great job.
"NEVER MIND THE SPECTRE OF DEATH THAT FOLLOWS US ALL HERES BILLY RAY CYRUS" bruh lmao
Mambo #5 was the rage in junior high! The cheerleaders always danced to it at half time! 😎
The hate at the deebag in the "torn" video is hilarious!
Finn what you said in that intro is my everyday thinking. Glad I'm not alone!
@@ghost_mall yep! And in 2 years I'll be 50 😨
That "mildly alternative lilith fair sweetheart" comment hits hard
House of Pain looks like the kids from the movie Kids.
That Vitamin C song came out during my senior year in high school and became our unofficial anthem. 😂🤦🏻♂️
It was not a hit song when there were no top comments about their deceased relatives or friends in it.
Euro dance parties are the best 😁
In 1993 I saw Fuel, The Verve Pipe and Tonic at a local college. Three bands, three hits.
I just got home from Karaoke at my local bar. "Chad" sang almost every song on this list except C&C Music Factory. That was played in between "performers"
I heard "Jump Around" blaring out of a white Jeep Patriot while I was out walking yesterday
Fantastic selection of songs, fucking solid banter and great editing. Wish I was there when this happened on Twitch.
Jump Around looks like the blueprint for all early-to-mid 90s NYHC-videos.
We have line dancing at metal shows but you "dance" against each other, preferably in a strait line! xD
Funny that you mention the GAP sweater because that was my exact thought as well.
Night at the Roxbury actually aged quite well....to nearly perfection.
Love that movie!
Ha. As kids, me and my cousin went to one of those karaoke booths that would give you a cassette tape of your performance afterwards. The song we did... Achy Breaky Heart!
the Natalie Imbruglia song is still amazing. It comes on the radio all the time.
Love these
Line diving. The 4 step jump from the stage where cutting in line is encouraged.
Mambo No 5 is a fucking banger, one of the greatest one hit wonders ever.
Also Torn by Natalie Imbruglia, Iris by Goo Goo Dolls, Unbelievable by EMF, Trouble by Shampoo, and If You Could Only See by Tonic.
They are the greatest one hit wonders of the 90’s.
I was also going to add Kiss Me by Sixpence None The Richer but they had 2 hits with a cover of There She Goes.
Goo Goo Dolls? Dude they've had numerous other top 40 hits other than Iris. Slide was a number one hit
@@williamz7011 Really, I didn’t know that.
It’s just everyone only remembers Iris
@@williamz7011 the Goo Goo Dolls have their most recent top 40 hit in 2006 they were making mainstream hits for over a decade and this dude's calling them a one hit wonder. It reminds me of when Scott Kramer called Duran Duran a one hit wonder in one of his videos and the comments were lighting him up reminding him that Duran Duran had a top 40 hit in 2016.
Natalie Imbruglia was massive over here in the UK, scoring several top 10 hits spanning more than a decade
@@Chelaxim People only remember Iris though.
It’s like Aqua, they had a few hits, but people only remember Barbie Girl.
Come for the top tier comedy, stay for the existential crisis musings! 😅
I’d love to see a kick line at a Lorna show. I feel like Will would join in himself.
Love your channel Finn..... anyway the guy in the sweater dancing with your ex girl is actor Jeremy Sheffield who was in a ton of UK tv shows (mostly soaps), however seeing as your a rock guy just to point out that he also appeared in the video to Queen's I want to break free haha. Love you bro
Geez my 8th grade graduation song we used that Vitamin C. Been ages since I heard it!
weird fun fact about lou bega: he's german. you can find plenty of german language interviews with him and it's kinda trippy because he fooled the world into thinking he was probably from new orleans or smth by the way he talks
Finn, you’re the man ! 🤘
"Gonna Make You Sweat" is Borat's favourite song, can't compete with such taste.
Graduation song played when I graduated from high school 😂😂
Great job man you just sent me on a blast from the
I feel like all those 90s one hit wonder are now wedding dance staples!
I Wouldn't consider C+C music factory a "One Hit Wonder"
As a nineties kid, they had like at least 3 major hit songs off that first record and a couple of other albums that had top 40 hits or top dance chart songs.
"Things that make you Go Hmmm" and "Do you want to get Funky" come to mind.
Little fun fact: Torn is actually a cover song.
Absolute banger nonetheless.
Best intro yet😂
Night at the Roxbury was the last movie I saw in theater with my dad. Not because he died but because there was a sex scene and it was super awkward to watch with your 12 year old daughter.
Im 32 and now having death anxiety off that intro lol This is gold. 90s were the best time to be alive, I didnt have bills just school and sports.
You didn't get death anxiety until 32?!? Consider yourself dumb and lucky...jk
I am 38 and was born in 85 so wouldn't that mean you were born in 90 or 91?
@@brandansampsan 1990
Well done
Going to see Natalie Imbruglia in October with the Corrs! Can't wait!
I identify with Finn during the Natalie Imbruglia song 😂 fun fact she was actually married to Daniel Johns of Silverchair for a while
I saw a comment during Torn that said someone needs to cover this on the next punk goes 90's but the band Hands Like Houses actually did just that and it's a great cover in my opinion. Worth a listen if you like the original.
Look, jump around at Wisconsin stadium for every game is lit as hell
thanks for channeling me on the Natalie Imbruglia video, also the House of Pain fans you described we would call peckerwoods, are those even a thing anymore? I find it funny that they were from LA and not Boston or something.
Definitely a thing in prisons
I love how he basically just describes Boston/mark walberg😂
My cousin and I used to watch Finn's twitch clips, but I died last week. He misses me every day
I love how angry you get Finn. I also hate that dude with Natalie. haha
😂 I love it when you do these ones ❤😂🎉
Me and my buddy used to watch this video and laugh and laugh at Finn dunking on old songs. Then we lost him to a tragic trapese explosion. RIP in peace
Achy breaky heart in Spanish is pretty amazing. Literally plays at every party.
