Super underrated Throwing Muses, Kristin Hersh and Tanya Donelly as songwriters and singers, too much talent. This song stands the test of time more than 30 years after.

That is just one of the best damned pop songs of all time. Never gets old. Blows me away every time I hear it.

1991, when the world still felt so big. I remember having to seek out music, magazines, movies, and the hunt made it special. Now with everything at our fingertips, it's what I wished for but not what I expected. Good old Monkey paws...

The vinyl store before it gave up to cassette before it gave up to disc. I got Pixies whilst still cassette era (saw them in the 80s in the Midwest). Asked a dude working there, can you give me something tortured that is American, something no one gets? He gave me Surfer Rosa. My brother stole the cassette sleeve. She was a beauty. And the Throwing Muses, then Breeders (lost my mind my favorite bassist is now with Tanya making music). We come from a very good time, Brockwell. Well indeed. Good old ....

What an amazing talent Tanya is. I'm so glad that I got to see her live a couple of times.

‘The Real Ramona’ is such a great record and personally, it’s one of the defining albums of the early 90’s... but anything Throwing Muses have ever released is just sensational. A ridiculously under appreciated band ... check out their latest album ‘Sun Racket’.. xx

@Clarke Martty It's David Narcizzo, who with Kristin has been a constant in the Throwing Muses, and who has a very unique style. His drumming on this album (the Real Ramona) is absolutely brilliant. Stacy Jones though did work with Tanya on some of her post-Belly solo work.

[@padraigg9508]

Two absoultly amazing musicians. Kristen is much darker in her writing and Tanya is a master of the pop song. Both equally tallented and I will forever be playing their music and getting back to my youth! Oh yes lest I forget David Narcizzo is a master of those drums!

[@rorybone100]

@@miked3168 In your opinion. I spent most of the 80s listening to Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, The Who because what was generally on offer was total shite. Not only that, the 90s were a better time. We spent the 80s wondering if we would kiss our arses goodbye in a nuclear flash, Thatcher, Reagan, heroin to blot it all out. The 90s saw an end to the Cold War, the Berlin Wall came down, Mandela was free and there was hope. Musically there was the rave scene, Madchester, Britpop, a thriving Indie scene and Ecstasy ensured the feel good factor. The music, politics and drugs were all better in the 90s, better than the 80s and certainly better than now.

@@WHJeffB Donelly wrote this one.

[@jimmbear3998]

This is such a great song and much different than most of the other Throwing Muses songs. I almost feel like being in Throwing Muses kind of held Tanya back a bit as she often wasn’t the lead. Then she went to the Breeders and once again wasn’t the lead. It was nice to see her as the lead in Belly with Feed the Tree which was a bigger hit than anything she had prior to it.

[@WHJeffB]

@@jimmbear3998 Yeah, it makes you wonder if Kristin not allowing more of Tanya's songs on their albums forced Tanya's hand. Same with her tenure in the Breeders. If I have my recollections straight, I think at least a few of the songs on Belly's first album were supposed to be on a follow up Breeders album. While they (Belly), still get together and do a show or tour occasionally, it would have been great to see what they would have done if they hadn't burnt out and called it quits the first time around.

[@kaitlinmojica9678]

You should also look up Belly (just reformed) and the Breeders.

[@Dulcimerist]

I'm a HUGE Belly fan, and found Throwing Muses through them. :) I love Tanya's music a lot, and I also enjoy the Breeders' lead singer a great Deal. When you listen to the Breeders, you actually get a two-for-one Deal.

[@michaelmcguire5155]

I said elsewhere I am a Brit and only gradually discovered the music of these two half sisters in 1999 through the Sky Motel album when newly released. I can't believe I now get the chance to see Belly live. Donnely shades it with her music ...bloody fantastic sound.

In find it odd that I never heard this on the radio back then as it is so good and way better than most of the stuff from that time period.

My wife and I went to many shows about 10 yrs back of New Wave/Alternative artists from the '80's and '90's, and almost to the band, they sounded almost the same as their studio sound. No lip syncing or heavily processed music. Just talented musicians and vocalists.

I cannot stop playing this song! First the lyrics are great and her voice is really sweet but gnarly too. It starts off punky , but pop, then goes into this 60's girl group sound. Like Shadow Morten and the Shangrilas, then Christians guitar is soo surf music like the Ventures, then the second verse with bridge is 60's again then it is a Rap at the end. You have punk, pop,girl group 60's, and Rap in one song. It shows how brilliant they were. If you don't understand the lyrics google them they are really cool.

This song made me determined to learn how to play guitar. I watched the video over and over again, and luckily found the finger placements on the fret boards. The chords E, B, A, and the lead were so fun to play. I could see Kristin didn't move her hand much on the fret board to play the lead. I transcribed it and played it for my guitar teacher. He was so impressed. Now, around 18 years later, I picked up my guitar (Gibson Les Paul style, in sunburst like Tanya's) recently, and instantly started playing this. It is seriously the most fun song to play on the guitar, ever! I had my guitar signed by Tanya, too, when she visited Australia, touring in Belly. Thanks, Tanya for being such an amazing songwriter and an inspiration for so many of us Gen Xers as teenagers! :D
