ninelives Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Some good ones Virginia! I liked Edie Brickell. Their second album was pretty good but I don't think they had any hits off it. Though I feel there was more than one released off the first album. That song Wild Wild West - the video was rather odd and used to freak me out a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I feel there was more than one released off the first album. There were several songs off of their debut that got a fair amount of airplay but I'm not sure they ever charted as high as What I Am. Mama Help Me from their second record (Ghost of A Dog) also got some airplay but wasn't also wasn't as successful as What I Am. They regrouped recently for a new album called Stranger Things but in this day and age, I don't think anyone really noticed except for the dieheard fans.

That song Wild Wild West - the video was rather odd and used to freak me out a bit I loved that song and the mirror trick was cool too. I had a surround sound system in my apartment and when I played that song and the gun went off with the ricochet sound, my dog would take off into the bedroom looking for where it went Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But one hit wonders is definitely a thought; especially if the songs are good for jogging Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have purchased a couple videos for my iPhone in the past.

danelectro59 Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 The bikini and funny farm song are excellent!! I didn't know the funny farm song was banned. Talk about a song that has stood the test of time. Sadly, yes it was banned shortly after release. Seems it struck a raw nerve with some, I guess. I thought it was brilliant and only reflected what it was like to be mentally ill at that time. The "ca-chunk ca-chunk" rhythm reminds me of the automatic dishwasher that came with the first house I bought many years ago. In fact, we used to chant the song along with it. Ah, fond memories, indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swede Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 This is a 90's song, which still is just as great as it was back then.. Can't remember I ever heard anything else by the band. EDIT: it is a Neil Diamond cover, and he is hardly a one hit wonder.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swede Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 How about this one, I loved it back then, but today... I don't think so.. it's too 90's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brother was pretty into them at the time - he said the album was not bad at all but I think beyond that hit, I never heard much else. The lead singer (Linda Perry???) - wasn't she the one who was in Pink's video "Get the Party Started" and has produced some of her music? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
