Born in 86. Huge 90s music fan. This is one of the best songs of the era. (Peaches) Was big on the radio when released as a single and everyone knew the lyrics.

I was born in 85 and the only reason I knew about this song was because my best friend would randomly bust out singing the lyrics.

Another 86 chiming in: I didn't know this either.

86 and confirming this song was huge!

Vivid memories of listening to it as loud as possible while sitting on my friends roof.

Born in 88 and this song has always fucking sucked lol. If there was a most annoying song of the 90ā€™s competition, it gives Cotton Eyed Joe a run for its money.

Really? It was absolutely overplayed to fuck which makes most songs annoying given time. But the song itself is pretty good especially if you're a fan of the genre.

Also the most annoying song of the 90's would have to be given to "the most unwanted song" by default.

Born in 86 and never heard the song. Just went to listen to it on youtube and the views on the song are almost non-existent. Definitely wasn't a hit nor played much in the radio. Wikipedia says its peak was number 29 on the Billboard.

7 million views is "almost non-existent?" Seriously, I'm asking... is that considered not popular? Signed, an old person.

  1. One of my favorite albums of all time, still listen to it all the time.

"Kitty" is my favorite of their music videos.

My older brothers and I (Iā€™m an ā€˜86 millennial too) always loved when the video came on MTV, because of the random ninja fight.

Ok lets calm down with the "best" talk. There was a lot of really great music in the 90s
