[@mindykloster3540]

This is one of my favorite songs of theirs! I loved early No Doubt and early badass Gwen!

[@ibelieveicansoar]

In the era of grunge and gangsta rap, this was actually a rather brave & even countercultural thing for a major label to have released. Sort of like They Might Be Giants, Tori Amos, Slint, and other earnestly out-of-step artists of this era.

[@virginiaviola5097]

They were in step, because alternative was a major genre in the ‘90’s.

[@candideggplant1575]

This is actually intelligent, whereas most songs 90s up until now are so incredibly sad and self pitying.

[@EclecticoIconoclasta]

Eventually No Doubt became a very mainstream huge stadium rock band by the end of the decade. Tori Amos was just one of the major acts of the 90s wave of female singer songwriter rock so I would not see her as too weird either.

[@EclecticoIconoclasta]

@@candideggplant1575 Which is in part why in the UK you had Britpop which was in a big way a reaction againts the selfdestructiveness and gloom of grunge and also againts their own gloomy alternative genre shoegazing. Even hip hop became more bright and less violent as a reaction to the deaths of 2pac and Biggie. The bad part of all that was that by the late 90s the mainstream became too pop full of prefabricated teen pop like the Spice Girls and boy bands like NSync and Backstreet boys or by dumb nu metal acts like Limp Biskit, so they went to the other extreme of "brightness"

[@MedalionDS9]

Not everything was about grunge... they were local heroes in Orange County playing what was big in their scene at the time, punk, ska, pop-punk... they got by just fine

[@califtom]

I really love this record. You can really hear the influence of groups like Madness and The English Beat. It has a quirky, unconventional sound that sadly does not exist on their more radio friendly albums. I love all of No Doubt's work, but I probably had more fun listening to this than any of their other work. Gwen looks absolutely stunning and they all look so vibrant and full of creativity.

[@lisaparker4688]

I'm hearing a strong Oingo Boingo influence, too.

[@CTS55555]

She is a big "The Specials" fan. The bands you mentioned and the Specials were probably some of her inspirations. Check out "The Interrupters". I saw them live, great band.

[@MedalionDS9]

Sure... they were not unique in their scene at the time except being fronted by a woman... there were quite a few punk and ska-punk bands in California... you could argue that's why it was important for them to experiment with other sounds to breakout from the 'others' to reach bigger mass appeal.

[@kimthejunglist]

Yeah, I prefer their ska over their pop.

[@davida.quinnsr.5869]

When did she get into Ska, I wonder... 🎺 🎺 🎺

[@jasmineshelton759]

I love the old No Doubt, that Orange County 1990's Punk Ska

OK, it may not have been a big hit commercially, but I think this is one of their best songs.

[@targetrender9529]

Me too.

[@that_goth_bitch3899]

I disagree.... However I do think the lyrics are good. I just don't particularly like the sound of it. I think it was kinda unflattering... Like, it makes her sound like a worse singer than she is. She has a good voice but this song makes her sound really terrible in my opinion. But the point of the song is very good I think. It's got a great message.

[@Aut0KAD]

I really like this song, but others cant get over the fact it sounds 'different'

[@CTS55555]

If you are interested in ska music like the early No Doubt music, listen to the band "Save Ferris." Another more newly formed ska/punk band similar to early No Doubt is The Interrupters. Anyway, I am 37 years of age and remember hearing this No Doubt song when I was 13. Thank you to my 3 older siblings who were in their late teens and early 20s for being into ska music. I am blessed to have been exposed to ska music way back then due to them. I remember hearing the Specials when I was like 5.

[@akpilot9468]

For all the young-ins saying they wish they were alive in the ‘90’s. Don’t be distraught, fact is, even if you were the chance you would have heard this was pretty slim. Hell, I was there, and just now finding many of these gems. Now the 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s were a great time for music, don’t get me wrong, live concerts were amazing and really nothing like today. But it was a different time. Internet was either nonexistent or in its infancy. You didn’t have instant exposure to the local music scene on the other side of the country. You were limited to your limited local scene, and what was on the radio or some of the TV shows like late night and SNL. I think in many ways that very fact is the reason why music of that era was so varied and timeless, because there was such limited influence from around the world. What was coming out of Seattle was nothing like Southern California, NYC, Florida or any of the many other areas. When one of those influences hit main stream it was fresh and new, and there was so much of it happening. Like I said, I’m still finding gems I’ve never heard coming out of that era thanks to the internet, and it’s by far better than anything out there today.

[@Chilopoda81]

This video proves that this band has authentic roots, but they became very commercialized over time. Gwen Stefani's star power was evident here too, despite it being a low budget video.
