Sponge - Have You Seen Mary

[@JOHNGRAVES369]

I stood at the side of the stage watching Vinnie perform this many nights back in the day and it was my honor ❤❤❤❤ we never did find Mary 😮

This band should have been bigger than they ended up being.

I completely agree. Vinnie is the man! Another fantastic Detroit talent.

Absolutely 100% on that

[@anarcho2narco]

im surprised this band didn't become HUGE in the 90's. They are pretty tight

[@wayne3340]

Great slide guitar on some tunes👍

[@ReadingAreaRailfan]

Andrei lounin uhh... They did?

[@roidsoutlet8649]

Word...I ailways thought so

[@Ghadente]

I'm not, their only good song is plowed, which was Huge and is still great. It's a shame they didn't make more songs on that level

It was a time of embarrassing riches musically

we are still listening...thank you.

Every once in a while a song hammers the nail right on the head.

[@marycollmer884]

This is my song!! I remember hearing it at a gas station years ago and it took me many years too find out who sang it.. great song.. has a lot of personal meaning for me!!!

[@wayne3340]

Three of these guys sat down and had a beer with me and my buddy at the Town Pump in Vancouver during this tour. Great guys. Terrific show.

Mike Cross was so f’ing underrated it’s a GD crime, Vinny too - actually the whole damn band

[@OneManArmy23]

This video should have a billion views. Underrated!

[@SilentVice1fan]

Rocking for years, but should have gone higher than they did. I'm just glad I found them.

[@tonywilbur9256]

Seen these guys live at a small local bar last night. What an incredible performance! Thank you Songe, what a show!

the slide guitar with brass slide-nice touch...another Detroit homegrown band

this songs sounds like the best time of my life... the 90's. Great music, great times

they played in Nashville in the 90s at the Cumberland river they were great and very friendly Nashville still loves you sponge!

Saw sponge in club in 96 with stabbing westward and couple no name openers. Damn good show.

[@MKYeahBuddy]

They still tour. Only Vinnie is original. Still awesome shows

[@chaz7r]

Love the song. Same melody as waiting on a friend

[@dtownlove10]

Love how this starts.......

[@UVaphobia]

Listened to it all in the early to mid 90s, but this group always held a special place. And boy have they aged well, and happy to know my ears were good. The stuff we used to listen to sounded oftentimes pandering to teen angst, but Sponge was making real 100% legit stuff that sounds better today than it did back then. I go back to them every few years and each time they get better and better. Can't say that about a lot of music... most music. True artists. And for those who have commented about a lack of salable tracks on Wax Ecstatic, they should try appreciating the soulful qualities of the album which make it unique even compared to others in Sponge's discography.

[@bigmikevt]

+Lee Moran I've burned through 4 copies of this album since 97. now i own it on the cloud

Sponge is a great music testament

Yes, this band should have been much bigger .. Plowed is a classic and this song is excellent...

[@marioheredia]

So underrated band.

[@weldonmarthiljohni6521]

Love me some sponge. Saw them in SA at the White Rabbit. Loud and great!

[@GenX.Bigfoot]

I bought Rotting Pinata at Coconuts Record store in 95 on a buy it try it status! Oh, man, it was one of the greatist albums of the 90's...and no...I did not return it...it went platinum! Great band!

[@matthewbutler9056]

They are fantastic and I thoroughly believe Rotting Pinata is a PERFECT album!! But bands don't gotta be The Beatles Metallica or Nirvana to be noteworthy and a good listen Sponge is a hidden gem, id people are lucky enough to find them then bless their lucky ears. They made a living out of rocking. Sure maybe they wish they had a bigger audience sometimes but as a guitarist/musician. I can tell you some audience is better than no audience and it's a 1,000 times better when that audience loves you. FACTS

[@willclay739]

Good tune with nice slide guitar playing

[@erinhatt1997]

I never heard this song until yesterday. Introduced my mom Mary to it this morning.

This era of music always feel so "Silent Hill" to me. I miss the soul man.

[@grandstandguy]

This song makes me think of this one time: A lady at work was talking about how she had an abortion. I don't personally agree with it but when I spoke some honest words of support to her she really responded to it. She said everyone else was either judging her through their words or she could tell by their expressions. Even after I told her I don't necessarily agree with it and my reasons for that, she still thanked me for saying what I said to her.

[@Kumayll]

you never know what impact your words might have on another individual :)

[@front-row-freak]

One of my favorites ❤

[@deanrossetti8224]

I’ve never heard this mix before, with the drums coming in so early. Some label guy who thought it must have sounded “better” than the original, I guess. The original is perfect.

[@travvypoo]

You know you're a talented and good band when you can't be put in a box. One song will sound like it could have been written in the 70s and others will sound very modern.

[@charlesrowland127]

Very underestimated band/songwriting

[@leejaye7698]

I had just got done writing the same on a different sponge song. I love this band. I listened to rotting pinata album and some other rare sponge songs when I was growing up in my teens. I dont really understand why they weren't more popular but I'm so glad I found them. Thx much

[@CBDM777]

On tour and seeing them next Sat night. Can't wait!

[@kyled3096]

I just saw these guys play at a local bar last week and damn they really need to be put in front of a huge crowd.

They were…opened for Candlebox at their height and Sponge outshone them so bad it was something I’ve never seen before or since

[@fracwilt]

classic 90's alternative! awesome!

[@jcjoy2003]

I was at that New Haven show too.Nov 22nd 94 or 95,they were so much better than Candlebox who were lifeless.Sponge closed with a Speed Racer cover running through the crowd.Blew everyone away.Wish they hadn't disappeared so quickly.

Come to St Clair Shores Michigan. They play once or twice every summer. Seen them last year with fuel

These guys would always put kick in ass at their concerts, seen them with Candlebox, Sponge warmed the show and burned Wing Stadium up. Oh yeah, they kicked boxes ass!!!

[@jsh020]

this was a great band, i seriously wish they were as wlel known as bands like pearl jam and nirvana at the time, that was the time where this type of sound(well not this song in particular) started gettign huge success and these guys never took offf, which sucks, though i was glad to hear them get some recognition in recent years

saw this the one time it aired on 120min in '96 and loved it. This was also NOT re-shown when MTV2 was showing all the videos it allegedly had from A-Z in 2000. I guess MTV2 aided to the fact as to why it's so cold in the D...

Ahh… ‘Wax Ecstatic’, you were the ‘Angel Dust’ Of The Mid 1990s. One of the biggest “what the fuck?” releases ever, only to reveal it’s roots in stadium rock & Motown swing and reveal itself to be the pearliest Sponge album. Screw Candy Corn, give me songs about drag queens & near mythical billboard models!
