1994 is the future. Its 1983 at the moment, so its 11 years in the future. 1983 is my favourite year for pop music, incidentally.

[@darthanddedeu2580]

Yet this song still as the kids say these day, slaps.... do they even say lit anymore?

[@cesartr1495]

En realidad es de 1998

[@thetwitterlectual9528]

Every decade there are a handful of songs which are successful because they are so different from everything else around at the time. This is one such song.

Also Doop

I was searching for this the other day, but couldn't remember the title. 1994 was one of the best years for music. Shout out to all my Gen X Fam!

[@hollyhillbilly1747]

I honestly havent heard this tune since 1994. Listening to 2fm in my bedroom at night as a 12 year old. This tune has stayed with me and has often popped into my head over the years but I did not have a clue who played it or what it was even called so could never find it again. Low and behold by chance today I turned on 2fm while driving and this tune was playing. I had to pull over the car and scramble to turn on Shazam. I finally had it after 29 years waiting 😂 this brings back some fond memories.

[@m.richards6947]

The guy who did the banjo part was apparently screwed out of royalites and ended up hanging himself.

[@gavinr9107]

Very much the same situation as yourself. I randomly heard it on the radio on the way from work a couple of weeks ago, the tune was familiar and I had to Shazam it. I was 11 in 1994. I hope you have a fantastic remainder of 2024!

This proves that, like every other dangerous tool invented by humankind, the banjo can also be used for good, as well as evil.

[@jesuiscequejesuis2267]

Though, just to be safe it's important not to allow just anybody to have access to a banjo. There need to be licences and mental and criminal history checks...
