I know it was from In Living Color. Jim Carrey wasn't pretending to be a green guy whose eyes bugged out in real life. Mr. Snow was pretending to be.. well, a rapper/Reggae/whatever. The point i'm making is that a music video isn't real life anymore than a movie is. They are both performers that portray roles/characters therefore i find it somewhat ironic/hypocritical.

To say these songs are horrible would be an understatement. Actually, "Hey Soul Sister" has made them ridiculously popular at the moment, probably the biggest hit they have had. And a good song to boot. Which is odd because I've never heard "Hey, Soul Sister" played on the radio or anything. I hear "Hey, Soul Sister" all the time, and it's really annoying. One of the worst songs I've heard in the past 2 years.

It's the definition of a song not taking itself seriously, and was if I remember right written as a mockery towards male models. I just can't hate that song in all it's 90's cheesy glory ;D

Can't understand a word he's saying in this video and I have a natural hatred for any reggae music mixed with rap I guess it's be popularized by the term of raggaetron although not sure if this would classify under that. Man it amazes that people in 1993 actually paid for this crap! The fact this exists still angers me:

Ok here is the, in my oppinion, most annoying song by a band, which after this song never did anything of importance ever again. How dare you sir! HOW DARE YOU!! The song right after it on that album made one of my favorite videos of all time.

I hate the artist, I hate the music video, I hate the white guy reggae, but you know, I do like the chorus of Informer.

Jim Carrey wasn't pretending to be a green guy whose eyes bugged out in real life. Mr. Snow was pretending to be.. well, a rapper/Reggae/whatever. From what I hear, Snow actually did have more than one hit song in the word of Dancehall Reggae and was well respected. He wasn't a superstar or anything but he wasn't a joke either

I freaking HATED that song. Our family used to go out to visit Ocean City, Maryland for a few weeks at a time over summer, and that freaking song was played EVERY YEAR at least once an hour on just about every radio station... I actually owned and loved this album, the rest of it doesn't sound like this

Also, Jordy's still going, he made a comeback in 2006 in France.

Oh man I'd cast that abomination from my mind. Everything is terrible, the singing, the lyrics (seriously some of the worst ever) and the video makes me want to go postal on them.

Ladies and Gents, I present to you the worst song of the 90s and candidate for worst cover ever. That rocked.

If you hate "Tubthumping", you don't understand the point of Chumbawamba. They never intended for that song to take off or anything. It goes against everything they stand for and they don't actually play it live because it's so popular.

Most of these songs I can chuckle at, which amuses me.
This song, however, sends me into a baseball bat swinging frenzy. I loathe this song.
