It's guitar pop/rock, sounds 90s, sounds American but not sure, female singer saying "Don't do that, don't do-oo-oo that!"
It's driving me nuts.

is it the parody of Marge Simpson on that episode of the Simpsons where she wants to end television violence?

Identify these 68 songs that hit #1 on the Modern Rock chart in the '90s.
― Lusty Mo Frazier (jaymc), Monday, 15 February 2010 14:00 (sixteen years ago)
42 out of 68...Where are my lovely parting gifts? I knew every one them by sound but couldn't recall the exact titles for a lot of them.
― Sometimes a pie is just a pie (KMS), Monday, 15 February 2010 18:01 (sixteen years ago)
Nice work. Yeah, some of those titles are tricky.
― Lusty Mo Frazier (jaymc), Monday, 15 February 2010 18:06 (sixteen years ago)
49 and kinda ashamed that i got that primitive radio gods song
― Fetchboy, Monday, 15 February 2010 18:21 (sixteen years ago)
I knew every one them by sound but couldn't recall the exact titles for a lot of them.
Yeah, I'd have scored a whole lot better by artist instead of title. Thanks jaymc, that was my youth there, and I still barely scored half...
(Was fully expecting "Cannonball" and "Seether", did they miss #1 or were they too obvious?)
(Haha that Primitive Radio Gods song was the first CD single I bought, had for some reason avoided singles but went crazy at a 5-for-cheap deal and bought generic mid-nineties classics such as that, "Natural One", the Frank Black song that rhymes "gravity" with "my heart is just a muscle in a cavity", and a Prong single which wasn't "Snap Your Fingers". No idea what the other one was now. lol 90s)

63/68 - dunno if I should be proud or ashamed
Forgot the titles of the Foos & Tears for Fears tracks & rightfully forgot all about the likes of Dishwalla, Eve 6 & Lit.
Nice work, jaymc. If there's one thing I need, it's more workday distraction..

Generation gap. I knew all the songs from Pets onwards but could only identified 8 from the first column :P
― Moka, Monday, 15 February 2010 20:26 (sixteen years ago)
they are arranged by date right?
― Moka, Monday, 15 February 2010 20:27 (sixteen years ago)
Hah. Got most of them, but only knew the name of one of the 4 Jane's Addiction songs. And then saw the one-per-artist disclaimer...
― glenn mcdonald, Monday, 15 February 2010 21:19 (sixteen years ago)
23/68. not very impressive but in my defense i'm pretty certain a lot of these were never even played outside the us...
― sonderangerbot, Monday, 15 February 2010 21:42 (sixteen years ago)
great quiz! i only got a shameful 53/68 because i kept getting hung up on like "What the fuck was that Eve 6 song called" and "Why won't this accept 'Isis' for the Goo Goo Dolls song"
― Nagl Nagl Nagl (Whiney G. Weingarten), Monday, 15 February 2010 21:58 (sixteen years ago)
Both missed #1.
Yep.
― Lusty Mo Frazier (jaymc), Monday, 15 February 2010 22:06 (sixteen years ago)
Glad you guys liked the quiz, btw. It was pretty fun to put together. Would've used more songs, but I wanted to have approximately the same number of songs per year and by 1998-99, there were fewer than 10 songs that hit #1. Plus, I didn't want to repeat artists. Plus, I didn't want to download fucking Marcy Playground.

Why would you? You probably know it by heart.
― Inculcate a spirit of serfdom in children (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 15 February 2010 22:23 (sixteen years ago)
"Sex & Candy" is better than prob 60-70% of the other tracks imo.
― Bangkok Serious starring Yahoo Dangerous (Pillbox), Monday, 15 February 2010 22:25 (sixteen years ago)
your quizzes are the best

I am proud of my 38/68 becase all of this happened when I was between the ages of 3 and 13. Also I got the last 18 right. Actually I knew all but five of the last 35 or so.

27/68 and those were like my golden days of radio. But I guess I kept thinking songs were more popular than they were. I really thought "Interstate Love Song" and "Under the Bridge" would have been #1s, never thought to guess "Scar Tissue".
Oh well, proud of myself for pulling "Counting Blue Cars" out of my ass.

Also I have been searching for the name of Big Audio Dynamite's "Rush" for the past 6 months; I only knew the music (and none of the lyrics except "situation") and I thought it was the Clash

Also I have been searching for the name of Big Audio Dynamite's "Rush" for the past 6 months - ILX could have solved this dilemma for you in under 30 seconds.

Well, you were close -- it's Mick Jones's post-Clash band.

Wait, did you not listen to the clips?
― Lusty Mo Frazier (jaymc), Monday, 15 February 2010 23:37 (sixteen years ago)
It is strange that STP never had a #1 Modern Rock song, though.
― Lusty Mo Frazier (jaymc), Monday, 15 February 2010 23:38 (sixteen years ago)
Hahaha, I didn't see there were clips! Mine were all from memory.
― you gone float up with it (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Monday, 15 February 2010 23:42 (sixteen years ago)
That's actually pretty impressive then!
― Lusty Mo Frazier (jaymc), Monday, 15 February 2010 23:44 (sixteen years ago)
Wow, I feel lots better.
― you gone float up with it (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Monday, 15 February 2010 23:45 (sixteen years ago)
36/68, fairly bad. i knew another 10 of the artists but not the titles. the only one i'm kicking myself over is novocaine for the soul, which for some inexplicable reason i thought was feeder.
― twice remembered / twice removed (electricsound), Monday, 15 February 2010 23:48 (sixteen years ago)
xp Yeah, it's not a comprehensive list, either. Only about half of the #1s from the '90s.
― Lusty Mo Frazier (jaymc), Monday, 15 February 2010 23:51 (sixteen years ago)
Nice quiz either way, I'll be sure to pay attention for the clues next time!
― you gone float up with it (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Monday, 15 February 2010 23:53 (sixteen years ago)
jaymc could you do a list of the songs that peaked at #2? How many more/less are there? I mean I assume that a great majority of songs that go #2 eventually go #1
― Use a computer to superimpose your head over that of Bronson Pinchot (Stevie D), Tuesday, 16 February 2010 01:18 (sixteen years ago)
Good question, but it would take a lot more research. This is what I used for the quiz, but it only shows #1s.
― Lusty Mo Frazier (jaymc), Tuesday, 16 February 2010 01:22 (sixteen years ago)
okay this is awesome and hilarious and i am lol old i guess
55/68
damn if i could remember the title of "That Primitive Radio Gods Song" under pressure
