This song is almost guaranteed to invoke a full on crazy summer memories montage every time you hear it.

[@daynerpotter9514]

Yes for sure, I was 11 👍

@Rose Alice Fuller 'Jana 'Vegana' Selassie' Has anyone told you that you are a complete, worthy and beautiful human being today? If not then please let me be the first. 💕

[@markgreet3543]

Great song, reminds of the summer of 1991 chilled out times.

[@coachanderson2704]

Where real musicians and artists played real instruments! Miss the good old times and the music.

As they have in every other decade...

[@scottculli7851]

I absolutely love this song. I’ve never heard of this band, but I’m gonna start listening. These guys are unique.

[@chriswagg1354]

One of the best bands ever...still gigging, get out and see them when all this COVID crap is over...you won't be disappointed!!

[@dudleyjoseph9485]

Saw them last night in Cardiff. Didn't disappoint!

[@7bluebell]

Saw them last week in Birmingham and they were amazing.

The kind woman who introduced me the Wonder Stuff, via Golden Green, also relieved me of a burdensome virginity, so double thanks to her

[@ImToblaah]

strangely enough... me too

[@hyphz]

Only just noticed how clever the start is.. intro sets up the key of A. Singer starts on a C# note but immediately slides up to D#, and the song kicks off in B. First lyric: "Don't you think it's funny when nothing's what it seems?"

[@Username89039]

What a great, great band. Some real classic songs.

[@aanunkitch2426]

Great song invoking even better memories. I know I've turned into my dad, but happened to music. 😂

[@Michelle_Schu-blacka]

This song just popped into my head for some reason. It's depressing listening to this. I just want to be back in that time again. I just want that life back. Drinking, smoking, clubbing, turning up to work still high from the night before and when your shift ends, you do it all again. I thought the deal was that our parents were old and we stayed young and reckless.

[@Kim-qn4xu]

I remember years ago this song when I was a teen and I never heard it until it was on a free cd I got from a magazine. My friend was sleeping over and I played it to her on my cd player, I said you got to hear this song and I just remember her getting on all fours and pretending to be a dancing cow 🤣 the silly things you remember though lol

[@neilwarren4573]

The Wonder Stuff, Carter, Big Audio Dynamite.. a great soundtrack to grow-up to.

[@jadequinn4484]

Took me ages to find this song lmao love it, it brings back so many 90s memories for me 😘

[@hollypietrzak5214]

i like this song it sounds so catchy!!!!

[@ikonographics]

This was my class anthem back in 1991... Don't you think it's funny that nothing's what it seems When you're in 7A We have the comprehension That life is a detention And we're hoping that we'll get away! You know that we've been warned a thousand times And these should be the best days of our lives Life is not what we thought it was! Damn blast! Look at our past Were ripping up the desks in Kruger's class! I said, OH wow, look us now! Were building up our problems to the size of a cow! Can't believe I still remember our lyrics after...32 years 😱

I saw The Wonder Stuff play at Toad's place in New Haven, CT. in late September of 1991. Unbeknownst to my 13 year old self, that same night a little indie band from Seattle called Nirvana was playing just a few miles down the road 😩

And they were the best days………………

[@VEHICLEFAN5500]

Track appears to be a reflective and somewhat satirical exploration of the complexities and disappointments of life. The lyrics convey a sense of disillusionment, contrasting the expectations of life with its stark reality. In the first verse, the song suggests that life is often not what it seems when one looks forward to it. The metaphor of life being compared to a drink, specifically bourbon, symbolizes the desire for life to be rich and satisfying. However, the irony is highlighted as the narrator expresses their hope for life to taste like bourbon, yet acknowledges that they have been drunk countless times, implying a pattern of unfulfilled expectations.

[@VEHICLEFAN5500]

According to website Songtell

[@leemccluskey5786]

Love Wonderstuff Eight Legged Groove Machine was the best album ever. Never Loved Elvis wasnt far behind

You know when you send songs to friends that are girls. Well I sent this song once and she got fully offended “oh this is what you think of me!” No, I just like the song... :( So the story is if you want to break up with someone ... :)

I certainly hope there’s more videos from this new Fan, it was some of the best music and entertaining video that I have seen since I do not know when, that band is amazing, they make a kiss concert look like amateurs, I’m not a kiss fan. I think kiss music is forgettable this music stays in your head.

I’ve seen this phenomenon happen in many music videos. Brian Adams - Summer of 69 (live in Wembley 1996) is a notable one. Sort the comments by newest first and you’ll see the same thing thousands of times. It’s weird. Edit: just checked that video, it seems that the comments are back to normal. It was complete hell a while ago though.

The Wonder Stuff are an anomaly to me because I can’t quite understand what their vibe is supposed to be or what they’re going for, yet they have a few songs that are super catchy that I like but also find really lame? Idk. Maybe I just like that I don’t get it? 🤷🏻‍♀️
