Early May 2003. 14 members of the Royal Air Force were travelling through the hot evening of the Saudi Arabian desert land. 16 hour days for 5 months non stop under the 140 degree heat. Every single one was tired, depressed and broken both physically and mentally. The broken A/C occasionally coughing out a brief cool breeze providing the only bit of relief. They are on their way back to the barracks for some food and then a much needed sleep. All inside the battered, dusty people carrier were just wishing to be home in Blighty. It's deathly quiet until the front passenger switches on the radio. It's British Forces Broadcasting Service. The DJ does he usual spiel about whatever, no-one is paying any attention. And then 4 Non Blondes starts to play. The volume is down low but one lone voice at the back of the vehicle can be barely heard mumbling the words as he looks out of the window upon the bleak landscape. A second voice is then heard singing quietly. Soon more voices join in. The radio's volume is turned up. The voices join it in volume. The chorus hits for the first time and every one of the 14 people are unashamedly singing along. The volume goes up again on the radio and again the voices join it. It's now at the second chorus and the radio is being drowned out by those 14 previously broken individuals.The song ends, the dial is turned down and each person goes back to looking out of the windows once more. Only now they are a little happier, a little less despondent and broken. " Just one more month. We can do this. Just one more month" and all was right with the world for a short while again. Mine was that first lone voice and I have to thank this song and this band for getting me and 13 other Airmen through that last month.
Wow, that's some memory to recall. Its amazing the power music has on us. This is just one of those songs, so glad it helped for a few minutes. So glad you returned safely. ❤
Linda Perry was the lead singer, she went on to write songs for other artist-- Beautiful -- Christina Aquilera What You Waiting For --Gwen Stefani Get The Party Started --Pink
I'm 57 and this has been a song that's been kind of my " anthem " since it came out till this day . For me it's about being in recovery . If you listen to the lyrics , place yourself in that world before , during and after .
This was such a hopeful song in the early ‘90s. It’s frustrating that we still haven’t accomplished the goals here. I and many friends were in the Navy, in the aftermath of Desert Storm, hoping for a better destination.
It's so impactful especially rn...everything is so damned fucked up...After my moms stroke she was so mad and I would put her in my car and we would fly down old country roads and just scream this song out...she passed in 07, I still love this song..
Thank you and your friends so much for being a great success for your bravery in the navy for this I say thank you i am very grateful for you and many other military heroes who keep us 🇺🇸 free May God bless you all
What’s going on is a hoax virus and blm/antifa communists/terrorists....a 5yrold boy was executed yesterday by a black dude brainwashed by the shit the leftist/communist media pushes...disgusting
@@mr.smithgnrsmith7808 Dude, pull your head out. I'm very much a centerist, and if anyone is brainwashed, it's you far right-wingers that are following the Great Deceiver.
One of the great hits of the 90s! Great reaction :) When it came out in the early summer of '93 I think many people already knew it was a classic and would be remembered. Small local bands were learning the chords and the words and singing it in public places almost immediately, even in non-English speaking countries in Europe (I was 19 at the time) - which doesn't really happen very often with such new songs.
Have Always Loved this song. And I agree sh has such a versatile level of vocals and quite a voice. Loved the Reaction♥️ And I Think It's So Awesome that you can open your soul the way you do to all the different types of music that is out there. True to yourself and true to the music industry.
I am so glad you did this video. This song is one of the songs that finally turned me on to Rock/Alternative rock/grunge music. Linda Perry is amazing. She had an amazing song writing career and did a lot of stuff with Pink, and helped her be who she is today. It's too bad they had no more hits after this, but this entire album is awesome.
It’s crazy how a song that was very integral in your childhood is a song that some people have never even heard. Good reaction this song is very great 👍
The lead singer of 4 non blondes is Linda Perry. She has one of the most powerful voices in the business but now spends her time representing people like pink. I wish Linda would return to singing
I first heard it when it was released to MTV in (decades ago). I immediately bought it and have loved it since then. It was used to great effect in the Netfix show "Sense8". It's such a relatable song to pretty much anyone who is a human, and I love it, even almost 30 years later.
I could only say good about Linda, Perry,! I'm listening to music since 1958, can't recall a more powerful singer. Also a beautiful voice. Definitely a gift from God! Her voice can never be duplicated. I'm astonished this was their only hit. Definitely she needs to be on the charts now!!!!
I loved this song when it came out! I never got any of their other music because I was soooo broke then, and therefore dependent on the just the radio, but I’m happy for the reminder! I’ll go back and check out more of their work now!
I really have always loved this song back when it was released. It was powerful! And now it's become the anthem for Netflix's Sense8!! They really brought this song back and made it even more powerful than before!
@@bigredfella13 How is this song underrated? Don’t you even know what that word means? That song was a hit. It has, like, 1.2B views. And you’re calling it “underrated”?
The album didn't get the recognition it deserved. Linda is amazing. Homeless, addiction, and then instant fame. Morphine and Chocolate, Dear Mr President, Spaceman. All worth a listen. Also check out Pink covering this song with Linda playing accoustic next to her.
4 Non Blondes the groups only put out this one fantastic album before breaking up, but the lead singer Linda Perry has been writing and producing hits for other artists ever since, most notably Pink's "Get the Party Started", and Christine Aguilera's "Beautiful". She was inducted into the songwriter's Hall of Fame in 2015, and was married to Sara Gilbert of "Roseanne" "The Conners" and "The Talk"
Pink often throws this one in her concerts... and everyone knows the words and sings along. I relate to it as I was 25 when it came out and it was easy to learn/ play 3 chords etc
She's like Steampunk meets grunge meets.... everyone in between. Another bringing back massive memories song. Thanks for listening to it. Love your reactions, keep 'em coming!!
This song has inspired me through some tough times. Truth in this song, we all should be asking that question. What's Going On? Because what we are being told makes NO SENSE!
Other 'female' groups that were good and getting lots of play during this time: Belly, Mazzy Star, Garbage, Poe, Breeders, 1000 Maniacs. Garbage is still around but I don't why female alt rock groups seemed to disappear.
Love this songEven today I still sing it after many years my kids find it funny but they love it too especially when I sing and Linda Perry is awesome!
I vaguely remember this song, it's the singers powerful and clear voice which has always stuck with me. I shall read the comments as I'm positive the others will know who this lady is. I enjoyed your reactions and you put into words what I couldn't voice. Take care and stay safe please everyone love hugs and peace and God bless you all Mary-Ellen UK
That was Amaaazzzing! By the group and song title I was like you. I had no idea what was coming. I have heard this before but again. Way too long ago. What a FANTASTIC surprise. Lyrics, insane vocals just everything about this song rings with soul, rock, just everything.
@ Don Logan Hi, I respect your opinion about this. As I stated I didn’t instantly fall in love with this song but I do like it. I said in my opinion I have to hear it a few more times. Sorry, I don’t love every song that I hear instantly but I can definitely hear the talent that the lead vocalist has & also the band is good. I wouldn’t expect to play you a song that I love & have you automatically love it too. Sometimes Diversity is a good thing. Enjoy the music my friend ✌🏻
I’ve always hated this song. Like loathed. It was so overplayed. Listening to it again now I’m kind of relating to the words so it’s a little better. Still wouldn’t go out of my way to listen though lol
Great song, great talent, great energy and an equally great reaction from Jayvee and I love how Jayvee ends his commentary with 'peace'✌ Thanks matey, you too✌🇦🇺
One of many songs that defined the '90's. There was amazing, original, edgy talent and music knocking around. Still so iconic. You should also check out Alanis Morissette, Meredith Brooks
There has never been a time when this song came on, that I don't stop and sing the shit out of it! It was a moment in time for me when I'd finally left an abusive relationship years prior and spoke for myself! It was my anthem!
Yeah, this was their only hit, but Linda Perry went on to become a MAJOR songwriter behind a lot of pop acts (Christina Aguilera, Alicia Keys, P!nk, Gwen Stefani, Courtney Love, and Kelly Osbourne), and she ended up marrying the actress/talk show host Sarah Gilbert (an even bigger 90s icon, thanks to her star turn as Darlene on the classic hit sitcom, Roseanne). The only other songs of 4 Non-Blondes' I personally recommend are "Spaceman" and "Dear Mr. President", two other singles from the album that charted poorly. They just aren't as epic as "What's Up", though.
First heard this in the car driving my kids to somewhere - we were all instantly capitvated....the only song I know of that capture all the frustration, bewilderment and hope we universally experience. And that REFRAIN....! WOW!
I'm listening to music over 60 years never heard such a unique incredible voice. Definitely one of the greatest performances I've ever seen. She's in a league of her own Compare her to Grace Slick of Jefferson Airplane, that's a great compliment!!
Once upon a time when I worked at a photo lab I had many regular customers. Amongst them was a young lady who had a great love for her cat. Always pictures of 'Princess'..various poses..outfits..etc. She brought he boyfriend in one day and as she stood and looked through her pictures..this song came on the store system. It was if lightning struck her! She dropped the pictures..turned to friend and belted this out like she was the microphone of an outdoor concert.!! I was so taken aback by this. Not so much by the song...but the performance that she sweetly shared. Some of us dance like no ones watching...and I guess some of us sing..like no ones listening.. The boyfriend..disappeared out the door in embarrassment. But we loved it. It made our day..:)
J you on a roll tonight. Great list so far....but I'm gonna keep bugging you about 1. Modern English "Stop the world (melt with you) 2. Tommy Tutone "867-5309 (Jenny) 😁. Love her voice.
they also toured with Prince early 90`s as his support band and oooft the whole arena were jumping and singing like they were the stars... My God they were really something else... superb duo.
Feminist, revolutionary, powerful. Love this song, and love how it was used in Sense8. The only hit single they had, I think, but I also like Space Man and Dear Mr. President. It's noteworthy that Linda Perry also ghostwrote for several other artists like Pink and Christina Aguilera
Linda Perry has added to her hats. Along with being a singer/song writter is also a music producer and owns 2 music labels. She has collaborated with Pink, Christina Aguilera, Adele, and many others. Very talented woman.
Indeed, I'm baffled myself this is their one big hit. I'm a music historian listening to music 60 years I rank her as one of the best female singers ever. Very good selection! Good day to you!
I feel like I should start every morning now by walking outside and screaming from the top of my lungs "WHAT'S GOING ON???" Been a while since I appreciated this song ❤
This is an awesome song and Linda Perry has such an amazing voice and talent. The same album produced another, albeit lesser hit entitled "Morphine and Chocolate"
This song is on all my playlists! Love it too!! I so enjoy ur reactions, ur personality, ur politeness, ur enjoyment of every music genre. I'm an old white woman w/ a strong preference for soul/blues, but quality is quality when it comes to music & there's not much better than a great song of any genre. (And soon I'm gonna hit u up w/ a killer low down, dirty blues list like u haven't ever heard before!!! So hang tight Jayvee...I'll be back!!) ;) Keep on cranking them out!!

yOU SHOULD REACT TO THE LISTED SONGS LINDA WROTE!!!!
Love it
Linda Perry was also romantically involved with the singer LP for a while. LP is fantastic if you don’t know her!
Wow
that’s awesome!
i Love all those songs _too_
What??? 😱
This is a great song. Linda Perry wrote this song and many others, she is so talented.
You appeal to me, woman. Let's engage in caffeine consumption at your most immediate leisure.
Agreed, she’s also a great producer. She worked with P!nk a lot in her early career.
This whole album is really good.
@@SpaceCattttt Awe... thank you. 😀
She wrote Beautiful and Get This Party Started
I'm 57 and this has been a song that's been kind of my " anthem " since it came out till this day . For me it's about being in recovery . If you listen to the lyrics , place yourself in that world before , during and after .
Yep, this song was absolutely HUGE back in the day, not difficult to understand why. It seems very relevant today, better times ahead guys ❤
Linda is the song writer for many hits for artists such as Pink and Christina Aguilera.
Also James Blunt, Brittany Spears, Gwen Stefanie, Dixie Chicks, Alicia Keys and so on....
Like Pink, Christinas OK.
@@ladygodiva1252 Dolly Parton, Adele ...
Should have written more for herself. At least she's still getting a quid out of it.
You have no idea how much airplay this song got back in the day. It was everywhere, all the time.
Good Lord. Really enjoyed that. Haven't heard it for decades. Her voice is flawless. It's a little peculiar, What's going on.
Same here: forgot about it. Glad to be reminded. So timely🥃🥃🥃....
Great alt-rock band from my days in San Francisco. The first album spent 59 weeks on Billboard 100.
This was such a hopeful song in the early ‘90s. It’s frustrating that we still haven’t accomplished the goals here.
I and many friends were in the Navy, in the aftermath of Desert Storm, hoping for a better destination.

One hit wonders. What an amazing hit. Linda Perry’s vocal magic integrates perfect with the melody the 3 very lucky non blondes layed down.
What's Going On - No better words spoken for today.
Absolutely right on for these days!
That ain't no lie!
What’s going on is a hoax virus and blm/antifa communists/terrorists....a 5yrold boy was executed yesterday by a black dude brainwashed by the shit the leftist/communist media pushes...disgusting

That's Linda Perry singing. She has written hit songs for other artists as well.
For who
Pink, The Chicks, Gwen Stephani, Celine Dion, Christina Aguilera and dozens more
She was also in a relationship with the singer LP. Who is fantastic, by the way!
This was the first radio hit I remember by a girl band that was grungy. really felt like it was needed. They played the shit out of this on MTV
Really good song. Fit perfectly with the themes of the show Sense8 which is what introduced me to it.
This song came out during a very tough time in my life and cannot hear it without bawling because it totally felt what I was feeling! Amazing song!
Linda Perry. Spouse of Sarah Gilbert. She's in the songwriting hall of fame. Producer of Pink, Alicia Keys and many more..pure talent 💖
Vocal coach for Christina Aguilera before she did "Beautiful` etc too.
Okay, I forgot that... I saw them on tv just after they got married. Now I remember.
Unfortunately the pair separated late last year. Both are talented women, especially Linda Perry.

This is why so many people love this song. It’s a feel good and Truth. Wear a mask and stay safe deep breathing 😊🙏🏼
It's funny-Im 63 years old and I still can feel this song and ask that question .....what's going on?
First heard this in the car driving my kids to somewhere - we were all instantly capitvated....the only song I know of that capture all the frustration, bewilderment and hope we universally experience. And that REFRAIN....! WOW!
The entire album this song is on is gold from beginning to end. Massive tragedy the band didn't release more than one album.
I'm listening to music over 60 years never heard such a unique incredible voice. Definitely one of the greatest performances I've ever seen. She's in a league of her own
Compare her to Grace Slick of Jefferson Airplane, that's a great compliment!!
Once upon a time when I worked at a photo lab I had many regular customers. Amongst them was a young lady who had a great love for her cat. Always pictures of 'Princess'..various poses..outfits..etc. She brought he boyfriend in one day and as she stood and looked through her pictures..this song came on the store system.

Their first and only album, Bigger, Better, Faster, More!...is fantastic...it's all good.
Linda Perry also helped produce the band Dorothy's second album called 28 Days in the Valley. Amazing album. A definite must listen.
WOW!! What a voice!! What’s going on??? 😀💜☮️

saw them live way back early 90`s when they were supporting Prince and WOW they were awesome!!! brilliant gig
you might enjoy Shakespears Sister , Stay
MARCHELLA DETROIT, I BELIEVE LOL. EPIC.
Yes!!!
they also toured with Prince early 90`s as his support band and oooft the whole arena were jumping and singing like they were the stars... My God they were really something else... superb duo.
Great 👍🏼 reaction! Knew you’d dig it !
The girl’s got some pipes on her! Remember this song, I like it, not mad about it, but it’s good.
She's one of the best songwriters/producers in the world. I love you Linda Perry!

The song was a huge part of the Netflix series Sense8, it fitted perfectly. It has always been one of my favourite songs. Thanks for playing it.
I'd forgotten who'd written this! Thank you SO MUCH
Another great tune of theirs is "Superfly" - it's super funky!
Aside from that she's written half if not more of P!nk's back catalogue :-)
Linda Perry, that is
Linda Perry has added to her hats. Along with being a singer/song writter is also a music producer and owns 2 music labels. She has collaborated with Pink, Christina Aguilera, Adele, and many others. Very talented woman.
Yes, she knocked our socks off when it hit MTV in early 90’s!
Linda Perry, she did this one album and 3 solo albums. She found greater success as a songwriter. But she still performs every once in awhile.
Indeed, I'm baffled myself this is their one big hit. I'm a music historian listening to music 60 years I rank her as one of the best female singers ever. Very good selection! Good day to you!
I feel like I should start every morning now by walking outside and screaming from the top of my lungs "WHAT'S GOING ON???" Been a while since I appreciated this song ❤
Haven't heard this for ages -- Love, Love, Love ❣❣❣
Linda’s vocals are unreal💯♥️ she’s also a writer for many famous artists like Pink🌹
Something so satisfying seeing someone from a different era react with honesty and really feeling the greatness from 'our era' the almighty 90s.
This is an awesome song and Linda Perry has such an amazing voice and talent. The same album produced another, albeit lesser hit entitled "Morphine and Chocolate"
You are nailing it with today's song choices! I love this song & would love to see you react to "Wonder" by Natalie Merchant!
I love her 'Carnival'.
I was 12 years old when this song came out on MTV. brings me back every time. She has an amazing voice.
You're on fire tonight,Jay.Love every song you've done tonight.I'm having a great time.
This song is on all my playlists! Love it too!! I so enjoy ur reactions, ur personality, ur politeness, ur enjoyment of every music genre. I'm an old white woman w/ a strong preference for soul/blues, but quality is quality when it comes to music & there's not much better than a great song of any genre. (And soon I'm gonna hit u up w/ a killer low down, dirty blues list like u haven't ever heard before!!! So hang tight Jayvee...I'll be back!!) ;) Keep on cranking them out!!
LOVE this song -Young Jayvee - nice to see you still here!!!
Great voice, great song.
That is free-spirited Linda Perry. A great song writer who can “rock your world”!
Fantastic song. Reminds me of being on holiday in Turkey
Once you heard this song you can't forget it.
Loved this song for years, and now I can add loving your reaction to it!
There's a version of this song on youtube singing live at a summer pool party, this girl could belt out one hell a voice! another great 90's tune
