It should be noted that DJ Lethal isn't Irish, he's Latvian(His real name is Leors Dimants). His family illegally migrated from then Soviet Union to Italy and then later to the US. Many Latvians don't recognize his name, but if we're talking about commercial success, he's by far the most popular Latvian musician.
That band needs to be talked about. Seriously, they were one of the few all black metal band and everyone seems to forget they exist. They were incredibly talented and also have a song called “Bi” which a pretty respectful albeit playful song about being bisexual, in the mid 90s! No one talks about this.

Cad is féidir leat déanamh? But seriously, most Americans identify as some sort of hyphenated identity partially as a result of our cultural hyper-individualism--but also as a rebuke toward the hyper-nationalist, blood-and-soil types who want to kick out immigrants and the indigenous peoples who have been here for millennia. I personally just say I am American simply because that is what my legal documentation says; of course, I--and many others--feel alienated from the American cultural identity due to not conforming to the prescribed standard. We also lack a language of our own--merely speaking a deviation of a language from the other side of the world, despite being a global empire. Those hyphenated identities help people establish a coherent self-concept. In short, The hyphenated identities are a political statement.
@A G but they do forget their heritage People who identify as "Irish"/"German"/"Italian"/"Scottish" American etc are completely divorced from the countries they claim to identify with
@@nwahnerevar9398 correct. Mixed heritage American (greek) here. There is a lot more psychology behind this, and it only occurs when you insert American + anything together. Also, when we get here, we become too poor to come back to the motherland. So we stuck. In a vain attempt to keep a dual identity, they actually pose. (Except that shit works here) And this is why they come off as posers to everyone outside of America.
@@Avalanche616 yo as a fellow greek tho you should know that we actually _do_ have a unique culture as greek-americans. it's not greek, it's not american, it's greek-american and we all recognize it when we see it. so for _some_ cultures, that hyphenated identity and the attempt to hold onto some of your cultural heritage actually gives rise to a completely new and distinct culture that can _only_ be described by the hyphenated identity.
That's because Irish American has become a culture that is pretty much entirely divorced from actual Irish culture. The only thing they have in common is a love for alcohol and the colour green.
Being Irish American basically boils down to drinking, wearing Celtic crosses (especially for Celtic pagan Neo Nazis) and naming your kid Luighseach and then claiming you're an oppressed minority when people don't pronounce that correctly on the first try. Throw on House of Pain, drink a Guinness and complain about how hard "your people" have it even though you're a white person in a majority white country and you've captured the Irish-American experience, basically.
I like to think that the House of Pain basically performed CPR on White Rap for years with just Jump Around. They kept its heart beating and kept it from COMPLETELY slipping into complete irrelevance.

I had to pause the video, I was laughing so hard at "Shamrocks and Shenanigans." It sounds like a name someone proposes for the Irish pub they'll open one day, except that they're joking and know that they won't actually open any such business.
Blew my freaking mind to hear House of Pain wasn't from Boston. I associated them with Boston every bit as much as I associated RHCP with Cali and the Beasties with NYC.
@@thekingofcomedy4608 I think it was something having to do with Everlast feeling like Em disrespected him somehow, or something along those lines. And then, of course, things really only escalated when Everlast made a diss track and mentioned Haillie. So Eminem responded with Quitter, which if I remember correctly, completely demolished him. So yeah, there's my somewhat fuzzy recap of what went down
Limp Bizkit was in on it too. They were supposed to do a diss with Em, but changed their minds last minute. DJ Lethal then went on MTV and talked shit about Eminem and how Everlast would whip his ass.
Todd said the name DJ Lethal and I thought, “no shit, Limp Bizkit?”, but he took so long in getting to the that point, despite mentioning Everlast’s solo career so quickly into the video, I thought, nah it can’t possibly be the same guy. After the reveal in this video I had to look up to confirm my misconception. Until after the video, I thought Everlast was Everclear, the Father of Mine guy. I know literally nothing else by him, but I really like that song for the record.
Everclear is a band that got dumped on by critics, but had some great songs. I wouldn't think "Father of Mine" was their most famous track, though, since it wasn't the band's highest appearance on any chart. They had some chart-toppers on various rock charts, like "Santa Monica" (their highest-streaming song), "Everything to Everyone," "I Will Buy You a New Life," and "Wonderful."
I never met anyone else say that before. Congrats on being either too young to know,,a retard, or living under a rock.. ~Everyone knew who Everlast was not Everclear.. Esp after his blues hit songs were always on the radio. Atleast on Buzz alternative stations.
Other Irish commenters might already have mentioned the Irish language cover of this song - Léim Thart, by Des Bishop, another Irish American. Des has a whole documentary about trying to learn Irish in his adulthood, and Léim Thart appeared on the album Ceol ‘08. As far as I’m aware, it’s a ubiquitous part of going to the Gaeltacht in summer. That’s where I heard it (many times) along with the Irish version of Heroes or Ghosts by the Coronas, and a handful of others.
Just replying to myself to say that Léim Thart is shockingly well translated AND localised honestly, I always saw it as a bit of a cringy joke but it’s genuinely great and I love it
My favourite thing about the House of Pain is that the name was taken from the Island of Doctor Moreau, and there's samples from one of the film adaptions on the first CD. "He who breaks the Law, goes back to the house of pain"
There are other references to the House of Pain in other songs...there's an Oingo Boingo song called "House of Pain" that predates this group by years. And DEVO's catchphrase "Are we not men?" is from this movie too.
I agree with you, but in this instance, he is correct. The only time someone can claim to be Irish-American is people with duel citizenship or people who have one American parent and one Irish parent. Anyone else is just trying to sound like they are special.
@@wildste I know what you mean, but here it just felt like gatekeeping, there are a lot of obnoxious “Irish Americans,” who try to make it mean more than it does, but really it’s just saying your proud of your roots and heritage, and we have at least one thing in common with Bono, we celebrate Irish culture despite doing literally nothing for Ireland lol
@@seanmcloughlin5983 In Bono’s defense, the context for that rant was that he was talking about Irish-Americans ranting and raving about Irish separatism during the The Troubles while actual Irish people were living with daily violence due to the conflict. He wasn’t gatekeeping Irish pride
@@grimsqueaker437 Ireland would not be the independent nation it is today without the financial and political support of Irish Americans. I am not an Irish in any form, but it's always seemed so condescending for Irish people to basically ignore that. Besides, those Irish-Americans wouldn't be Americans if it wasn't for their ancestors dealing with that suffering
Shout-outs to Wisconsin for continuing to jump around, apparently! Also, being angry and Irish as their one note worked out fine for the Dropkick Murphys.
@@theoneandonlymichaelmccormick "It's not a rebel cry, or some socialist scheme..." I think they're very pro-union, but they don't seem (or didn't on their first record) to identify as socialists.
Yup, that's him. I remember years ago VH1 was doing like, a one hit wonders of the 1990's countdown or something and they were talking about House of Pain and then they mentioned Everlast and "What It's Like" and I was like, whaaaaa?
Agreed, but he already did "Burning down the House." I don't know if House of Pain was released in Japan. I'm sure he'd like the group though, considering Limp Bizkit in Part 6.
My older sister was briefly obsessed with House Of Pain around the time this track came out, and played their first album a lot. The track with the chorus "Put on your shit kickers and kick some shit" was hilarious to my 12-year-old self. Probably still would be. She was a fan of Cypress Hill at the time too but fell out of love with that genre a few years later, plus House Of Pain were pushing their Irishness even further with salty calls to give Northern Ireland back to the Irish. I saw House Of Pain at Bestival in 2015 and they played a good set overall, but I think a lot of spectators were just waiting for Jump Around at the end. It came on again at a wedding I was at last weekend and still makes an impact, I'll give them that!
I must have heard this song hundreds of times during my life, in the background of whatever I was doing , and never _once_ did I suspect that it was Irish. I mean, Irish of all things.
"what it's like" is pretty formulaic as far as hip-hop storytelling goes - detailing different portraits of life on the rocks - it was just executed well
the fact that i was a nu metal kid actually explains why i genuinely like house of pain. jump around waa their best song, no doubt, but i will lose my mind if top o the mornin to ya comes on at the function. i'm black and hispanic, there's no reason for me to get that lit when house of pain starts playing.
When I saw this was the topic of this video, that is literally the second song that popped into my head. It's practically second billing of a mental double feature for Jump Around.
I remember when this song came out I absolutely hated it. It wasn’t until around 2005 that I began to like it and I’m not sure why. My brain seemed to have rewired itself and now this song is one of my all time favourites.
they play Harlem Shuffle, a sample in Jump Around, in the shop I work in sometimes and the first four notes get me ready for Jump Around and then disappoint me EVERY TIME without fail
Jump Around was too vulgar? This year in my school a madlad went to the stage trying to make a standup and called everyone "ojetes", which is an spanish slang for jackass
I sadly pine away for the brilliance that we know and love as "Trainwreckords"...I know that it must take a lot of time, research and effort in even listening to this stuff, but the effort is VERY appreciated...Chris Gains, Garth Brooks' "Rock" alter ego?, or Corey Feldman's Angels both produced absolute bloody, screaming abortions of shitty art that, as difficult as it might happen to be, deserve to be dragged, kicking and screaming into the unforgiving, harsh light of day...and Todd is just the shadow man to do it. Help us, Todd of the Shadows, yr our only hope...
I was one of those kids who discovered House of Pain through Mrs. Doubtfire. Granted, Mrs. Doubtfire was a movie I didn’t see until I was maybe 7 or 8 (which was ‘05 or ‘06), but that song was hype, yo.
@@oliviamacarthur18 ah. so that's how a europop song sounds that is even too bad for europop. god that's garbage. I mean barbie girl was at least funny. I'm so glad this never was a hit here....
This one is special to me. I'm from Madison WI and we were the ones that brought this to sports. Every Badger home game between the 3rd and 4th quarter features the jump around. It is by far the best sports tradition.
@RenaldyCalixte I'm fine with it. It was getting pretty boring winning nearly every game up by 30 points or more at the half back in the Russell Wilson days. Poor Bucky had to do all those push ups. LOL
God these videos are good! I'm going to humbly suggest 'Bullet with Butterfly Wings' might be the best song of the 90's, but I concur that Jump Around is a very strong contender. As a Badger and a 90's teenager I've done my fair share of Jumping Around, so this hits incredibly close to home for me.
Everlast actually had a second hit single "Ends" which was pretty much a rehash of "What It's Like" from the same album. It may not have been quite as big, but it reached #7 on the alternative chart and #13 on the Mainstream Rock chart, and I definitely remember it getting a lot of airplay at the end of the 90s.
I would actually really like to see one of these about The Bad Touch by Bloodhound Gang. I know he mentions the difficulty of mixing music and comedy, but I think some of their songs kinda nail it.
As an Irish person, I love Jump. I think everyone in the country does. There's a popular translation as Gaeilge (in Irish) by comedian Des Bishop called "Léim Thart". But I had no idea who sang it and never heard any of the follow ups. So, a one hit wonder indeed
"Shamrocks and Shenanigans" sounds like a bad Irish Dungeons and Dragons parody.

Just replying to myself to say that Léim Thart is shockingly well translated AND localised honestly, I always saw it as a bit of a cringy joke but it’s genuinely great and I love it
My favourite thing about the House of Pain is that the name was taken from the Island of Doctor Moreau, and there's samples from one of the film adaptions on the first CD.
"He who breaks the Law, goes back to the house of pain"
There are other references to the House of Pain in other songs...there's an Oingo Boingo song called "House of Pain" that predates this group by years. And DEVO's catchphrase "Are we not men?" is from this movie too.
That's great. It's also where Devo got "Are we not men?" from. Great movie.
@@hebneh There's also a Van Halen song titled House of Pain. I don't know the song but it's from the same album as Jump.
I was fully prepared to discover a new song called 0043 when I clicked into this video
Me too
MSkyDragons it sounds like a sequel to that Jewel album that Todd talked about on Trainwerkords
Speaking of My Sharona, now that you're done with the requests you'll have to review that song for One Hit Wonderland.
Richard D’Orazi My Boo, By Ghosttown DJs.
I want Todd to cover Marcy Playground.
Please My Sharona is such a wedding dance floor filler.
@@Firegen1 Yeah, with such great lyrics to dance to with your family like "I always get it up for the touch of the younger kind."
Except The Knack aren't One Hit Wonders.
That one 3-second clip of Bono was all I needed to remind me how insufferable he is.
I agree with you, but in this instance, he is correct. The only time someone can claim to be Irish-American is people with duel citizenship or people who have one American parent and one Irish parent. Anyone else is just trying to sound like they are special.
@@wildste I know what you mean, but here it just felt like gatekeeping, there are a lot of obnoxious “Irish Americans,” who try to make it mean more than it does, but really it’s just saying your proud of your roots and heritage, and we have at least one thing in common with Bono, we celebrate Irish culture despite doing literally nothing for Ireland lol
@@seanmcloughlin5983 Thats fair
@@seanmcloughlin5983 In Bono’s defense, the context for that rant was that he was talking about Irish-Americans ranting and raving about Irish separatism during the The Troubles while actual Irish people were living with daily violence due to the conflict. He wasn’t gatekeeping Irish pride
@@grimsqueaker437 Ireland would not be the independent nation it is today without the financial and political support of Irish Americans. I am not an Irish in any form, but it's always seemed so condescending for Irish people to basically ignore that. Besides, those Irish-Americans wouldn't be Americans if it wasn't for their ancestors dealing with that suffering
I mainly remember Jump Around from Mrs. Doubtfire, when Robin Williams was throwing an insane birthday party for his son.
I was just wondering if it was just me that thought that way
The goat ate Mom's begonias!
Everlast had actually requested the song be in Doubtfire
"Jump Around" would latter be featured in the episode of "Parks and Recreation" where Andy and April get married.
@@TMC1982Part2I'm surprised Jump Around wasn't in Guardians of the Galaxy vol 3.
"I'm part Irish"
As far as WE know.
He officially retired that shtick in the "This Is America" review, so it's safe to assume he's telling the truth.
I think we ALL part Irish
Shout-outs to Wisconsin for continuing to jump around, apparently!
Also, being angry and Irish as their one note worked out fine for the Dropkick Murphys.
And Flogging Molly, who are arguably even MORE Irish and mad.
Toodley do music, but angry.
Dropkick has many notes. Never gets old. Dubliners, Sinead O Connor, The Pogues, the Bollox, shit you should see my recently listened to.
I mean, the Dropkick Murphys are also socialists. That’s a pretty cool note.
@@theoneandonlymichaelmccormick "It's not a rebel cry, or some socialist scheme..." I think they're very pro-union, but they don't seem (or didn't on their first record) to identify as socialists.
I will forever love you for the Goofy Movie reference, Todd. That hit me out of nowhere in just the right way.
No joke, "Same As It Ever Was" is actually a banger of an album, these guys were way better than their one hit wonder status would have you think.
pink - funhouse
Agreed. Their sophomore album is completely slept on.
True !!
I remember buying that and Nas first album together ...
A great year for hip hop.
@@lukmigindnuforhelved yeah that was really a golden era. Tribe, J5, HOP, Nas, peak Jay Z, what a time to be alive
The rest of House of Pain's debut album sounds like if "I'm Black, Y'all" from CB4 was Irish and played completely straight.
Wait...Everlast?!?! THAT EVERLAST?!?! I never knew.
Yeah i didn't realize it until I heard "Imma Swing It".
"I'm the Everlastin, Freestyle assassin".
And i went "wait...."
Right mind blown 🤯 wow he is really talented dude.
Yup, that's him. I remember years ago VH1 was doing like, a one hit wonders of the 1990's countdown or something and they were talking about House of Pain and then they mentioned Everlast and "What It's Like" and I was like, whaaaaa?
TIL
Same. That's wild man. Two huge one hit wonders.
When they played the beginning of Harlem Shuffle in Baby Driver, I was so expecting it to drop into Jump Around and was so taken aback when it wasn't
that's why they did it
When I heard one of them was called „Everlast“ I thought: „Oh like the guy from the song What It‘s Like“...turned out to be the same guy xD
yep, that was his Whitey ford days, He's actually really big in the rap scene. Most don't realize just how big.
This song's beat is contagious and i think thats my favorite thing about it.
Ya
Is that your favorite thing about it.
What else is there?
@@jamstonjulian6947 everything else
I swear the name 'House of Pain' sounds like a stand name in the the making
Agreed, but he already did "Burning down the House." I don't know if House of Pain was released in Japan. I'm sure he'd like the group though, considering Limp Bizkit in Part 6.
My people!!! But, "House of Pain" just screams like it's a Close-Range with Gravity Manipulation.
@@overlookers Yeah, & he's done that tons of times, especially in Part 6.
Jump Around is unironically the Stand of a minor antag villain in a JoJo ttrpg I'm running.
@@esimonsays14 maybe the alternate universe version of burning down the house?
8:21-8:33 The Romani would ‘beg to differ’.
My older sister was briefly obsessed with House Of Pain around the time this track came out, and played their first album a lot. The track with the chorus "Put on your shit kickers and kick some shit" was hilarious to my 12-year-old self. Probably still would be. She was a fan of Cypress Hill at the time too but fell out of love with that genre a few years later, plus House Of Pain were pushing their Irishness even further with salty calls to give Northern Ireland back to the Irish. I saw House Of Pain at Bestival in 2015 and they played a good set overall, but I think a lot of spectators were just waiting for Jump Around at the end. It came on again at a wedding I was at last weekend and still makes an impact, I'll give them that!
That beat took a bottle and captured not just lightning, but the whole storm. One of the most infectious productions in all of hip-hop.
A new Todd in the Shadows video makes me want to get out my seat and jump around.
Everlast now owns the house from the movie the outsiders. He opened it as a museum featuring things from that movie
"There's nowhere to go but down for Jump Around."
Well, yeah--gravity.
Consider the following:
* I R E L A N D *
Do you mean the Island, the Republic, or that one place you can't discuss in civil discourse?
@@isaacwilson4174 Ulster 🇬🇧🇬🇧
I must have heard this song hundreds of times during my life, in the background of whatever I was doing , and never _once_ did I suspect that it was Irish.
I mean, Irish of all things.
It’s not Irish though. It’s American
always thought it was mexican / chicano, kinda like Cypress Hill ... huh...
It’s American though
"what it's like" is pretty formulaic as far as hip-hop storytelling goes - detailing different portraits of life on the rocks - it was just executed well
the fact that i was a nu metal kid actually explains why i genuinely like house of pain. jump around waa their best song, no doubt, but i will lose my mind if top o the mornin to ya comes on at the function. i'm black and hispanic, there's no reason for me to get that lit when house of pain starts playing.
don't let anyone tell you that ethnicity defines music taste, tbh. is just a way for white ppl to gatekeep shit.
Honestly, I can't decide which I like more - this, or Cypress Hill's "Insane in the Brain."
Just… so… much… _nostalgia._ ♥
When I saw this was the topic of this video, that is literally the second song that popped into my head. It's practically second billing of a mental double feature for Jump Around.
I think Muggs of Cypress did both those tracks.
I'm glad you mentioned it because they sound incredibly similar to me.
@@Belgand Yeah I get the two mixed up in my head sometimes (though Insane does more weird stuff with its beat while Jump Around just keeps pounding).
House of Pain was one of many groups that was a part of Cypress Hill's SOUL ASSASSINS clique.
00043 is underrated tbh
I remember when this song came out I absolutely hated it. It wasn’t until around 2005 that I began to like it and I’m not sure why. My brain seemed to have rewired itself and now this song is one of my all time favourites.
4:08 Tairrie B came and went in the early 90's but she has a single called "Murder She Wrote" that is pretty cool. Definitely worth checking out.
00043 Around. 00043 Around. 00043 Around. 00043 up, 00043 up and get down.
they play Harlem Shuffle, a sample in Jump Around, in the shop I work in sometimes and the first four notes get me ready for Jump Around and then disappoint me EVERY TIME without fail
Todd, do "The Promise" by When in Rome. I always wanted to know the story behind that song and the band!
I just want Todd to argue with young Dennis Leary for an entire video.
I tried to rap Jump Around for my 4th grade talent show lmao
Blaculaa_420
How did that go?
@@cremetangerine82 lol music teacher deemed it, "too vulgar" and wouldn't let me do it.
Jump Around was too vulgar? This year in my school a madlad went to the stage trying to make a standup and called everyone "ojetes", which is an spanish slang for jackass
Interesting video, although now the requests are over hoping for some more Trainwreckords.
Yes I agree especially after that Lauryn Hill Trainwreckords got taken down (Yeah who remembers that?).
I sadly pine away for the brilliance that we know and love as "Trainwreckords"...I know that it must take a lot of time, research and effort in even listening to this stuff, but the effort is VERY appreciated...Chris Gains, Garth Brooks' "Rock" alter ego?, or Corey Feldman's Angels both produced absolute bloody, screaming abortions of shitty art that, as
difficult as it might happen to be, deserve to be dragged, kicking and screaming into the unforgiving, harsh light of day...and Todd is just the shadow man to do it. Help us, Todd of the Shadows, yr our only hope...
Fingers are still crossed for a video on Calling All Stations by Genesis
@11:10 "That song's not as great for jumping though..." f cking got me
00:55 Lol
Yeah, "Jumper" is ultimately advocating AGAINST jumping...
Reverse psychology doesn't work on everyone, though.
Replace that song with Capsules "Jumper" and the party is saved though
Disco 2000 by Pulp is the best song of the Nineties.
You didn't even take the time to mention when Everlast and Eminem had beef. That was a fun time.
what about The Flys " I got you were I want you" ?
Anyone else now imagining Todd going full Basic Valley Bitch and going "Ohhh. My. God. Yassss! This is my Jaaaaam!" when Jump Around starts playing?
Nope, just you.
I was one of those kids who discovered House of Pain through Mrs. Doubtfire.
Granted, Mrs. Doubtfire was a movie I didn’t see until I was maybe 7 or 8 (which was ‘05 or ‘06), but that song was hype, yo.
5:55 WOOOW! I was literally thinking *California Love?* zero point 5 seconds b4 you said it. A thousand songs to choose from. How u read my thoughts?
Didn't know you could make such rhymes with only the letters A, T, C, and G.
One of the best beats ever made, holy shit.
I suggest Barbie Girl by Aqua and I Melt With You by Modern English
E Brodsky Dr Jones by Aqua was also a big hit so they’re not a one hit wonder
@@mrkd2k10 i've never heard of that song.
@@theMRsome12 listen to it and it's all you'll be hearing for the rest of your life. The only thing catchier is the Duck tales theme
@@oliviamacarthur18 ah. so that's how a europop song sounds that is even too bad for europop. god that's garbage. I mean barbie girl was at least funny. I'm so glad this never was a hit here....
Punjabi Girl by Goodness Gracious Me is better.
As Boston Irishman, this song is my mothers’ milk.
"Look out Itchy! He's Irish!"
Nice one, but dude! The HoP/Helmet crossover on the Judgement Night Soundtrack was awesome - as was the rest of that album
🤘🏼💯🔥
2:04 Welcome back to "I Love This Song": Todd In The Shadows edition.
Something kinda worth noting is their song “Ima Swing It” was on the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 soundtrack
My late ex loved Everlast's solo album, especially his cover of "Sundown".
This one is special to me. I'm from Madison WI and we were the ones that brought this to sports. Every Badger home game between the 3rd and 4th quarter features the jump around. It is by far the best sports tradition.
Red Sox playing Neil Diamond's Sweet Carolind between 8th and 9th innings: What about us?
@RenaldyCalixte it's no Jump Around but I'm sure you have fun.
@@OkByeNw 😂...Badger fans with lots of confidence facing a challenging slate of Big Ten teams I love it. You deserve to have Jump Around.
@RenaldyCalixte I'm fine with it. It was getting pretty boring winning nearly every game up by 30 points or more at the half back in the Russell Wilson days. Poor Bucky had to do all those push ups. LOL
*intro*
Me:wait for it
Me: WAAAAAAAAAAAAH WAAAAAAAAAAAH
God these videos are good! I'm going to humbly suggest 'Bullet with Butterfly Wings' might be the best song of the 90's, but I concur that Jump Around is a very strong contender. As a Badger and a 90's teenager I've done my fair share of Jumping Around, so this hits incredibly close to home for me.
Everlast actually had a second hit single "Ends" which was pretty much a rehash of "What It's Like" from the same album. It may not have been quite as big, but it reached #7 on the alternative chart and #13 on the Mainstream Rock chart, and I definitely remember it getting a lot of airplay at the end of the 90s.
As a metalhead I'm offended by how long this took but as a fan I'm happy to see you finally made this episode
"Jump Around", a 90's classic. Thanks for clearing up who Everlast dissed at the end of the song, I was figuring out what was that all about.
As soon as Todd read out the names of the members my brain went to "DJ LETHAL, BRING IT ON" from My Generation. I have no regrets.
I would actually really like to see one of these about The Bad Touch by Bloodhound Gang. I know he mentions the difficulty of mixing music and comedy, but I think some of their songs kinda nail it.
Ah yes. My favorite song.
00043
I managed to start watching 00043 exactly 43 minutes after it was posted.
I loved their collab with Helmet on Judgment Night!
9:53 the suddenly appearing beer is probably a residual effect of the Plot Hole
1:50 Wow! Todd *really* likes the song huh!
As an Irish person, I love Jump. I think everyone in the country does. There's a popular translation as Gaeilge (in Irish) by comedian Des Bishop called "Léim Thart".
But I had no idea who sang it and never heard any of the follow ups. So, a one hit wonder indeed
"Top of Tha mornin to ya" off the same album is a banger as well.
6:15 - Ok, ok, ok, you have to a do list of Todd top 10 90's songs. "Smells like the 90's?" Party like it's 19... hold up it isn't.?"
