[@corrinerujan9808]

I remember being 19 and out on the lake with my friends listening to this song,this is still so magical 21 years later,miss those days not a care in the world

[@tieftaucha8165]

Wish that I was one of the friends who was with you at the lake. I know and love the feeling that you describe.

[@denisbrady2322]

Yeah same here, summer in Dublin Ireland. Down on the beach with my friends listening to this. Aaaaahhhh love it

[@jimmorrison3756]

Hi Corrine i feel you i was 17 at the time this classic came out! Hot summer days and beautiful cool jewelled evenings chilling drinking with friends in Liverpool UK 🍻🍺🍸🍹🍾🍷🥃☀️😎👌✌.

I am so glad I was a teen in the 90's. Best years, best music, best clothes, best hairstyles.

[@thisguyy]

It truly was a special time man, we had the best of everything for sure. I miss it.

[@mikezooper]

Almost everyone says that about when they were born, which proves when you're younger you perceive things through rose-tinted spectacles (not a bad thing).

[@faszinationrodeln1066]

...tan acertado!...y fue hace menos de treinta años...había violencia, tecnología, tristeza pero como que algunos valores y sueños se quedaron en ese tiempo...es muy raro y conmovedor...

[@Jonathan_Fornaroli]

its melanchonic

[@ncon78]

Wow... the nostalgia!!! I was a kid in the 80's and a teen in the 90's and wouldn't have it any other way!! If this doesn't prove that KZbin is in fact a time machine, i don't know what does!!

You are right. also the music....and also the wine. all three together then.......

"Feeling kinda grovy workin on a movie. Yeah right!" Classic. Just love the lyrics and the production.

[@N1611n]

Was there then and still here today at 65yrs. Happy New Year Bran Van 3000, 2023!❤❤❤

I can honestly say I was drinking in LA at 26 years old! Love from the UK 🇬🇧

This is just one of those songs. Just fooking brillaint. End off.

[@irishkabyle3406]

ONE OF THE BEST '90s SONGS, J'ADORE, OH OUI!

[@coolworms7297]

yeah, the songs underrated tbh mate

[@deanl0]

Montréal Baby all the way in the summer time

[@edstockton3685]

I hold this up as the best song of the 90s. Got the classic beautiful hip hop chorus of the likes of 'Ready or Not' or 'Ms Jackson' , the vocal harmonies of a 'C U Whem You Get There', the world weary stoner verses of an early Eels/Weezer track and some awesome grunge guitar distortion. It's a 90s nostalgia goldmine.

[@Van-Bran]

I never even heard this song til this year, and I still get super nostalgic listening to it

[@davenotdoug8394]

Maybe not the best, considering that the UK had some very, very good bands of that era (Blur, Oasis, Pulp etc), but certainly worth listening to.

[@Veyron1967]

@@davenotdoug8394 Love this track and the lyrics but Pulp's Common People is the standout track of the 90s for me. It just drips irony and sarcasm. To non-UK watchers - search out the full version with the 'Like a dog lying in a corner' verse - which is missing from the video edit.

[@therogers4432]

​@@Veyron1967Yup... ^THIS^ But I frikkin love this just as much... 😊

[@Wowzers2006]

I remember my sister had this song recorded off the radio with a cassette and we played it for months in 1997

[@semprelazio8864]

You aren't aloud to put sellotape over the cassette and wait for a good song to come on the radio to record it ! If Taylor Swift was to heat about this 🙆‍♀️

[@brandinrobertson1212]

Year I was born lol

[@gordontaylor4184]

I have been playing this and the Glee album a lot just lately. Really brilliant music. I always loved them but even more so now.

[@MaxCadavra]

Glee was one of the best albums to come out of this era.

no relation to the tv musical of the same name on fox

[@gerbuijsman1900]

I was a teen in the 60's.......and do i like this song....yeah you can bet i do!

[@jamessmith-ft6jp]

A soundtrack to one of the best times of my life. The mix, the lyrics, the sound, the "ooooos" from Jayne & Kim and the kick ass notes from Sara. Give a us a ring, ding, ding. I'm back there with my friends and this song and I did nothing that day, absolutely bupkis. Magic. Thanks Stereo Mike.

[@user-ys9fg4ol9s]

Coming from Los Angeles, I felt proud of the song in a funny way. Later on after buying the album, I realized how unique Bran Van 3000 are. The Forest may be my favorite song from them off the same album

[@mamefydyshyn7257]

They are a Canadian band, I am Canadian but have really good friends that moved to LA. This song reminds of many times I spent with them.

For the life of me I do not know why this track did not get bigger.

[@dp8487]

It did. Doesn’t take views.. this song brought me up so many times.. and did again today.. our view on what is “big” can be skewed..

[@ronanjenkins2323]

Basically the whole “glee” album kicked ass.

[@MusicVersa]

Canadian band. It was a bit hit in Canada and the UK in the late 90s, but Canadian bands often struggle to break singles in the US.

[@joedarrow5422]

​@@MusicVersa remember Sum 41? at least he that dude got Avril Lavigne, definitely the silver lining of being a washed up one hit wonder

[@MusicVersa]

@@joedarrow5422 Sum 41 were also not a one-hit wonder in Canada - they were big here for the better part of a decade.

[@AdoniaTT]

so I woke up this morning w/the 'hook' stuck in my mind. Ugh! It took me all night to find this song!

[@SuperFabrizio86]

Hi my name is stereo Mike Yeah, we got free tickets to the Bran Van concert Happening this Monday night at the Pacific Coliseum You can all call in if you want to answer a couple of questions, mainly, what is Todd's favorite cheese? Ah, Jackie just called in and said it was a type of Rockford, whatever that is Give us a ring-a-ding-ding, it's a beautiful day Yeah Todd, this is Liquid ring-a-ding-dinging I want those free Bran Van tickets man What do you think? Todd? (He's alive Mike, alive, Todd) I woke up again this morning with the sun in my eyes When Mike came over with a script surprise A mafioso story with a twist A To Wong Fu-Julie Newmar Hitch "Get your ass out of bed" he said, "I'll explain it on the way" But we did nothing, absolutely nothing that day And I say, what the hell am I doing drinking in L.A. at twenty-six? I got the fever for the flavour The payback will be later But still I need a fix And the girls on the bus kept laughing at us As we rode on the 10 down to Venice again Blaring out the g-funk sipping on juice and gin Just me and a friend feeling kind of groovy, workin' on a movie (yeah, right) But we did nothing, absolutely buttkiss that day And I'll say, what the hell am I doing drinking in L.A. at twenty-six? (With my mind on my money and my money on my beer, beer) I know that life is for the taking So I better wise up and take it quick (yeah, one more time at Trader Vic's) Well some men there wanted to hurt us And other men said we weren't worth the fuss You could catch 'em all bitching by the bar Above the fine line between the rich and the poor Then Mike turned to me and said "what you think we got done son?" We had the conclusion and I guess that's something So I ask you what the hell am I doing drinking in L.A. at twenty-six? I got the fever for the nectar, the payback will be later Still I need a fix Hell-A-L.A., hell hell-A.L.A Hell-A-L.A., hell hell-A.L.A Hell-A-L.A., hell hell-A So I ask you what the hell am I doing drinking in L.A. at twenty-six? (He's alive Mike, alive) L.A., L.A.

I remember when my mom drove to school and in 98.5 FM in Mexico every morning put this greate song, every day I close my eyes and I remember this greate feeling.

[@thewakz]

Not sure how many people will recognize Atrak. The prodigy DMC World Champ DJ that ended up being Kanye's dj at the intro of the song. TBH it was really unexpected to see him in this. Had no clue. Just jamming out to some 90's alt rock playlist.

[@craigisherwood8634]

Dirty south in thy mouth...

The sad thing about this song, it marked the end of 1995- 1997 in the UK (the last golden age), end of uni and there's something nostalgic but melancholic about the tune at the same time.

Just realized I was singing: "What the hell am I doing drinking in a lake" ..for the last 20 years.

I've been watching this video a lot lately and I've never seen an ad on this video that wasn't in french. I guess youtube thinks only french people like this.

[@EggMcMuffin.]

maybe has something to do with the band being from montreal!

[@Where_is_Waldo]

@@EggMcMuffin. Yeah, I know and I'm not complaining. These are the only ads I don't mute until I can skip them (although I still skip when I can). I just found it weird that this entirely in english song I grew up loving which was popular at the time in alberta and... well, pretty much everywhere... that it's only allowed to have french ads. I mean, I don't think youtube advertising really works, it's mostly ignored, but if the advertisers are expecting their ads to be shown to people who understand the ads then maybe it should be based on the language of the video or the prominent language in the viewer's area or the viewer's language more than it's based on the language of the band's place of origin... if you want to help the advertisers or appeal to them.
