Cherry Pie by Warrant. I think you would be able to solve homelessness in America wholesale if you just blast that song on a loop on street corner in America.
In time they found that jumping was a blessing and a curse Love without a blindfold can be suicide or worse Sam became an expert in the art of lies and truth And Jeanie loved to play that game called jumping off the roof
^That stupid fucking song is literally 90% of the reason I no longer go to sox games. Not only does the song suck, it attracts people who suck to the ballpark. When I was 12 I would hitch hike 25 miles to go to Fenway. Now I won't go for a free roof box seat with open bar.
I was talking with a (much younger) friend the other day about 80's music. I was telling him how early 80's metal became cartoonishly poppy by the end of the decade. Warrant's Cherry Pie is the epitome of that decline. Not a fan. Not a surprise that grunge took hold so quickly afterwards.
I wasn't a fan of the hair spray Era. But honestly there are a few songs from different bands I like....... 1 Bon Jovie DOA/young guns. 2 Poison at the drive in/every rose 3 Motley Crue Girls 4 Deff leopard rock of ages OK so technically maybe some of these bands weren't hair spray so if so forgive me. 🙂
poor guy - splat and split in half. maybe the song he listened to was voices inside my head by the police?
early 90's i remembered very well the end of the metal scene. 3 bands at that time to me that would signify the wiping out of not just glam but also other subgenres: trixter, firehouse and nelson. 4 if you want to include warrant. not only did the glam bands got slaughtered, but so did judas priest, iron maiden and dio. all these bands' cds all of a sudden radio programming directors would be dumped inside cardboard boxes, transitioning to grunge.
I loved the grunge Era. AIC, STP, TOD, Nirvana, Soundgarden and Pearl Jam. Also that lesser known band. It's tragic a lot of those overdosed or committed suicide. So much talent from that era
>sweet caroline - bah bah bah gawd i fucking hate that shit!!
Even worse is when you're sitting back in a club enjoying a talented high mileage service and this song comes on. Happened to me in a small go-go club years ago (presumably, somebody using the Touch Tunes machine) and was maddening beyond belief.

Lots of songs could make me jump but anything from The Red Hot Chili Peppers could push me over the edge
Shut your mouth Skifredo. My bud rickthevulture loves that song. He used to sing it all the time.
‘cause I'm as free as a bird now
And this bird you cannot change
squawk! squawk!
And the bird you cannot change
When he gets back from his sabbatical - or rickbatical, if you will, we’ll be knock in’ on your door. ROAR!!!

Cherry Pie is certainly not one of the best examples, but it's a lot more tolerable if you're watching the music video...
