I was hooked on "I saw the sign" when it came out - haven't listened to that in years.

Lame cover of the sign by my band. I loved this song.

Beautiful Life, anyone? I remember blasting this while driving with my windows down and smoking on a hot summer day... don't worry, that was when I was an obnoxious youth! *hee*

I try not to. They had some of the most annoying songs on the radio in the early 90's. Just thinking of that sign song makes me cringe.

I was just reminded of them when they talked about them on I Love the 90s. I never noticed that they only had one kind of beat but it's so true.

I never heard the band, but man do I remember them. There was this annoying TV promo for a radio station than ran ALL the time. It featured a announcer who sounded like like Gilbert Godfried, but a LOT more screechy who was running down the list of bands this station played, with a shocked tone to his voice.

The last one in the line up was "Aheeyc of Bahace"! I swear to god, every time I heard that spot, I wanted to pour a gallong of sulphuric acid on my nutsack to ease the throbbing in my head.

For some reason, I seem to come across used copies of "The Sign" more than any other CD, whenever I shop for used CDs. Hmmm.

Scandinavian one-beat baritone-rap nonsense black hole of a music. I think I am going to go chew on some ice now.

My day is ruined.

Whenever they come on the radio, I have to listen for at least a couple minutes to figure out which song it is. They all sound alike!
