We Loved The 90s

[@sIightIybored]

" *Tom Scott* is a techie with extremely questionable taste in music. In his spare time, he has too many plans and a worrying tendency to make them happen."

[@moritzschweinoch733]

This is shockingly accurate...

[@notthere83]

His taste perfectly demonstrates why I'm usually reluctant to reveal that I'm a software engineer to non-tech people and whenever I do, I will add some disclaimer like "But I don't conform to the stereotype. Otherwise I probably wouldn't be here..." ;)

[@mattandtom]

What I forgot to mention was the odd sight the next morning of going down to breakfast in the hotel to find Shaggy at the table next to me. --Matt

[@illogicalcookie]

Was he eating breaded wheat?

[@coen4695]

Did you go up to him?

[@deamoncohln9506]

It wasn't him

[@ragnkja]

If I were you, I would have complimented him on the previous night's gig as I passed.

[@Space_Reptile]

damn i cant watch that mashup bc of gema , goddarnit

[@Andrew-fp3wn]

"You guys seriously filming yourselves?" Everyone else looks scared. Tom, very matter of factly, "Yes!" Go Tom. haha

I was wondering how long before you had a confused bystander show up :)

[@maxximumb]

I was wondering that, or if a jobsworth would come over to see if they had permission to film somewhere.

[@ssabrina1995]

parks are a public space, you don't need permission to film there

[@maxximumb]

You would be surprised how often a little man in a cheap uniform and inflated sense of importance will come and interfere.

[@Pieterjanvdhd]

They are not in the USA.

[@Regolith86]

+Pieterjanvdhd That's kind of a dumb comment, considering that the USA is one of the few places where they would have an absolute right to film in the park...

[@tobitoes1052]

The chord progression that It Wasn't Me and Let It Be share is originally from Pachabel's Canon. I think it's around three hundred years old and LOADS of songs took that chord progression. This includes Sk8r Boy by Avril Lavign and Welcome To The Black Parade by My Chemical Romance

[@michi4066]

SAME. It's very strange. I feel like I don't really have a generation of my own. I'm just sort of floating around.

[@beth12svist]

@@michi4066 As a person born at the end of the 80s, I'm frankly not surprised you feel that way - I think the interconnectedness and vastness of the internet kind of broke down the shared experience. At least in this respect. For me personally it's a good thing because when my classmates were listening to whatever was on the radio in the 90s, I was listening to Creedence Cleareater Revival... so the internet allowing a lot more people to discover old music and obscure little bands makes me feel far less like an outsider than I did growing up. (I still knew some of the bands mentioned here and it did make me smile, but I think that's largely because back then I discovered those songs through _friends.)_

[@StealerOfSoles]

Until Genius realised tom has a combined sub counter of over 500k.

[@ragnkja]

Secondary channels rarely have anywhere near as many subscribers as main channels.

[@piratecheese13]

yeah but how many of those are the same person subbed to both

[@livedandletdie]

I'm not subbed to either, because I rarely watch the people I'm subscribed to.. weird...

Where'd your newest video go? I was about to watch it!

I might have uploaded the wrong file. Maybe. It might have been very glitchy. Fixing it now. Sorry about that... -- Tom

Matt and Tom Well, I'm surprised you responded, and I'm looking forwards to it!

[@MicroBlogganism]

Scandinavians in general know how to drink. It's what happens when you have an over 1000 year old tradition of getting tired and emotional :P

[@RealLuckless]

Long dark winters probably also help. "I could go out into that blizzard, or I could sit here and get to know these barrels of ale better..." I'm Canadian, and if it weren't for books, games, and photography, I probably wouldn't have a liver left by now.

[@MicroBlogganism]

RealLuckless Oh that's definitely part of it :P

[@jbkjbk1999]

Fun fact: Denmark is number one in all of Europe when it comes to young people drinking a lot.

[@aurelia8028]

the worst part about it is that they think they're grown up and cool because they do it

[@DavieCalifornia]

Love how Matt is talking 90s europop in an Enter Shikari t shirt. You sir have broad interests in music :D

[@carlstock]

As Spitting Image said of 2 Unlimited's No Limt, “No no, no no no no, no no no no, no no, there's no lyrics!” A company called Genius makes gluten-free products. Was that guy Genius _planted_ there?! ;) And breaded wheat sounds lovely! Great video as always. As an 80s and 90s child, I really enjoyed this.

[@FlyXsim]

Next week I hope 'genius' is on the park bench.

[@brandonmartin-moore5302]

"Actually it's over that side this time" then it's on the same side. I don't know if that's funnier than if it really was on the right that time.

[@mynameisairl160]

Cotton Eye Joe was my favorite song when I was a little kid, I haven't heard that song in years. I remember my step dad used to play it everyday before he dropped me off at school, I would sing along and walk into school singing the song. Mambo #5 was another of my favorites, I remember jammin to that with my whole family. Shaggy is still one of my favorites, I love his music. This whole video just took me back to being a little kid, and it brought up so many memories I haven't thought about for years. This video is something I needed so thanks for making me remember how awesome my childhood was.

I notice you were quite close to the front during that concert footage. Were you actually meant to be there this time or was this another case of being shoved to the front and not fessing up?

[@micahphilson]

Tom, thanks to you, when I searched for MoPed, I found the song Moped by Clubstas, *and I now have my new favorite german band of all time!* Moped fahn is gscheida!

[@micahphilson]

They're very southern, though, so I can't understand 95% of what they're saying, but I really love them regardless!

[@rowdysgirlalways]

I think this may be one of your best park bench video. Love Genius.

Oh man, I would've LOVED this! I, too, grew up in the nineties. When Matt said "Good morning!" I immediately knew who he meant! I can't have a playlist of favourite songs without some nineties in there, regardless of genre!

[@trippydrew8492]

"Are you guys seriously recording yourself?" I wish you answered "No, we are just pretending to."

[@carliegriffiths6290]

i have very fond memories of Scooter. Its something that both my Dad and I would sing at the top of our voices in the CAr scaring passers by :) Also...once whistling Dave is in your head, its there FOREVER

[@wildduckification]

E-Type is the only "famous" person I have ever recognised randomly out on the street doing their shopping/whatever. When I lived in Stockholm.

[@BenBrayhoof]

As a german: I'm surprised that Scooter is better selling than Rammstein. Because i know that Rammstein is relatively well known and kinda famous in America as well. And very well known in Russia. But then again, Scooter has english lyrics...

[@deathshovelkill]

well 1 english yes, 2. dance in multitudes larger than metal

[@sujimtangerines]

I would have thought the Scorpions but yeah, definitely know Rammstein over Scooter.

[@joheyjonsson2825]

Best huge gig I've been to was Iron Maiden at Ullevi, Gothenburg. Those guys know how to put on a show. 34 000 people singing along to all the songs really made my hairs stand on end. Sabaton opening made it that much more amazing. Best small gig was D'espairsRay at Fryshuset, Stockholm. The energy at that show was absolutely amazing. I nearly got my nose broken by an over eager mosher, who felt his elbow would look nice in my face, and didn't care for a second.

Hey, Europlop! made me adore that You Make It Feel Like Christmas song. It's a good blog.

[@LauraSchmaura]

That sounds like the single greatest gig of all time, jealous doesn't even cut it.

[@GroinStrain_]

How can you mention shaggy and not his best ever hit Mr Boombastic?!

[@MrPSyman3]

I was wondering that myself

[@MrDannyDetail]

Particularly as the ones they do mention were from his second wind of fame in 2001/2 so not even from the nineties. There again very few Brits noticed Scooter until they had their best known hit The Logical Song in 2002 or else their other well known one Jumping All Over The World in 2008.

Scooter needs to come to America, I will drive thousands of miles to see them.

Haha, Tom tricking everyone into thinking they need to look to the right with the video actually still being on the left.

[@wlritchi]

As a Canadian, you better believe I know what Scooter is. I love them!

[@nemahs]

Surprisingly I actually did know who Scooter was! I've heard one song of theirs: The Logical Song, and that's it XD

[@zyaicob]

Tom assumes Fair Use means anything on KZbin and it's the funniest gag in this video

[@Schelome]

Oh sweet, E-type! He lived in the same area of Stockholm I grew up in so I have seen him wandering around lots of times, even if I have never been to a concert. I think his children went to my primary school, but I am a few years older.

[@ChristopherMilton]

I am an American and discovered HP Baxxter because he has recorded some books on audio. After that, I discovered Scooter.

[@barvdw]

Scooter I know best from 'How Much Is The Fish', the base is from a Breton folksong, 'Son ar Christr', which had a German (and Dutch) remake as 'What shall we drink' in either language in the 70s. And of course, as a Belgian, 2 Unlimited was all over the place in my teenage years. Ever heard of the Confettis, and 'The Sound Of C'? It's a bit earlier, more late 80s than 90s.

[@CrythornMadness]

scooter! man that takes me back to the rave years in England, back in the UK, how much is the fish. so good.

[@ellismiddleton7125]

Rewatching these, I love Matts T-shirts

[@totiusmundiciv]

When they finally find a place where no one is going to accidentally walk behind them or in front of them on a path, *that* happens.

[@BBRodriquez22]

Really scooter biggest selling band! I would say Rammstein or Scorpions. Also Shaggy is great. He has a lot of one hit wonders ;)

[@BBRodriquez22]

Also thanks GEMA that I cant watch most of the music links

[@dafb3ta]

and you'd be right. scorpions have outsold scooter by roughly 70 million records rammstein have also outsold scooter, but the margin is much tighter, only a few million records more.

[@SuperCatman]

11:15 actually, it is over here * still puts the clip on the side opposite *
