This is one of those songs that takes you back to a much simpler time.
This song was pretty much everywhere in 1999! The backing music is a sampled loop of the 1976 disco hit "More More More" by Andrea True Connection. The video was all over MTV - They shot it with their friends in Daytona Beach on the cheap.
Yep...Made for a cheap porno movie...!!!
And Andrea True was a former porn actress working to become a known musical act...but so catchy and fun!
Great song! 👍
On the 200,000 thousand actually
@@totalmerica6397 Closer to $100,000 actually. Most, if not all was spent on alcohol. lol
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steal_My_Sunshine#Music_video
In 1999, many of the videos with high rotation on MTV typically cost $500k - 2.5M
The video actually gives you a better perspective of what this tune is about. A bunch of young adults having a good time.
Should’ve watched the actual music video
The song is about being depressed even when around your friends.
The guy in Len became a big-time music industry rep. He signed Canadian band Sum 41.
I never knew that. That’s cool
Y'all should've watched the video. Bunch of kids having fun.
this song and that mall music video "you get what you give"..that's some nostalgia right there
This song needs its video to really enjoy it
Always reminded me of Summer Time.....it's one of those songs that grows on you!!
In reflecting back on these ‘90’s music reactions, I think most of us were stoned (and rather happy) back then 😂
Fun video kinda explains the vibe.
I've never heard the spoken parts before. I've only seen the video and don't remember that being in there. The two singers are a brother and sister and the video is a lot of fun.
What they did was pretty simplistic if you know the roots of this hook. They looped a snippet the 70's pop song 'more more more' and built around it. You can clearly hear the repetition. But this song had great staying power back in the late 90's - but they were the ultimate one-hit wonder.
It’s pure perfection, considering sampling a disco break.
Its a ALL TIME banger! 💯😎
As a kid I loved this song so much! I had no clue what the lyrics meant but the beat was everything to me.
I absolutely love love this song!! 🎶
Canadian bubble gum pop! It's one of those happy fluff songs that encapsulated fun, beach, summertime back in 1999. I remember those clothes too. Everyone seemed to have something made by SNUG.
i remember this song was huge for one summer Len was a one hit wonder the album You can’t Stop the bum rush) is hard to try and explain its this strange mash-up concept album with various styles in one album it’s 80’s Rock, 90’s Hip Hop on acid one track is a straight-up base track (anyone who remembers base cassettes/cd’s will understand what i’m talking about) the entire album is actually very impressive but, has A.D.D. as a band/group they didn’t know what they wanted to be they had C.C. DeVille (Poison) and Biz Markie on the same album its pure insanity but, actually a interesting and fun album to discover
It's a massively underrated album for sure
The instrument used to make that hollow sound is called a temple-block, a type of woodblock percussion instrument where a wooden mallet (with a wooden or rubber end) is stuck against a hollowed-out round woodblock (of varying shape and size), often creating a sound that is similar to a horse clopping.
How erudite! They could have gone with a couple of coconuts instead, but maybe not as fun without the visuals.
@@newmoon766 Monty Python fan? :P
I always thought it was an effect with a cowbell.
That's cool!
They might have that sound on a keyboard or some such these days
It’s mostly a cowbell. A muted cowbell
This is the kinda song you play at the beach, or a summer cookout. It’s just good vibes! 😎
This song sounds like cruising down the Pacific Coast Highway. A staple on any California roadtrip playlist!
which is even funnier when you consider they are from Eastern Canada. Lol!
@@LongGone77 I had no idea they were Toronto locals, cool. To be fair the video was filmed in LA
@@CalixYukon haha true!
From what I understand, some of the members (at least on the first album) are from Truro Nova Scotia as well. They're partially from punk backgrounds. I believe one of the members ended up in the show Trailer Park Boys.
Cheers!
Road trip!!!
It’s a wood block and a cowbell together, with reverb on it. The ‘cup’ sound..
Never noticed the speaking intro to this song before but hearing them talk about butter tarts reminded me that this was a Canadian band.
Canadian here -- yes! Butter tarts are a favourite treat. If you've never tried them, you are missing something amazing.
Also, the version we are listening to on this video is the album version. The video version has the sounds of the band members goofing around at the beach. The radio version of the song just has the music with no talking or play sounds.
Fun carefree spring break and summer vibe with quirky clever lyrics.
Asia’s face trying to comprehend the lyrics at the beginning … 😳… then eventually realizing they make no sense, and just enjoying the silly little song 😂
I think they lyrics are dadaist. Even so, the 'I know it's up for me' brought tears to my eyes, kind of a juxtaposition to the happy bouncy sound of the song. And if you watch the video, people looooooooved Sharon.
You cannot resist this song.
This song is like a wine spritzer. Light, bubbly, funny and sunny.
Suggestions: Joan Baez "With God On Our Side" (1963) is pretty topical these days.
Also, "MacArthur Park"by Richard Harris (1968), followed back to back with Weird Al Yankovic's parody song based on it, "Jurassic Park" (Alapalooza 1993).
Yep, but "I know it's up for me". Decades later I still don't know what to do with that emotionally.
This is a sample of Andrea True Connection’s “More, More, More”… you guys should react to that…disco
Yes. I discovered that a few years ago. Interesting how artists do this. Marketing strategies
This song was playing throughout the radio for 2 years straight back in 9798 I believe. It has a nice bounce with that retroactive music they used it's a Summertime song that makes you bounce. It doesn't matter what race you are as a black man I find myself doing the Running Man along with it at times lol. As a guy who was around 20 when this came out this is a part of my lifetime that I will always remember what I was doing when it was playing on the radio. This type of music is the chronolog of Our Lives.
I love that you really pay attention to the instruments / sounds in the background.
This song is all vibes.. love it
This song was HUUUGE for about 10 minutes in the late 90's Like a number one. I miss those days really. Fun time.
The "cup" sound is a wood block struck with a normal drum stick. Maybe a muted cow bell.
Watch the video...lol Quirky and fun ARE accurate
I loved this song back in the day for some reason.
The music was actually from an Andria True song , How Do you Like your Love circa 78.
This song was such a vibe in the late 90s!!!
You should of done the video!!! Lit is another band to check out. "my own worst enemy" The video is funny as hell!
Seconded, what you said about the video and about My Own Worst Enemy.
The song was written during, and is about, the hangover and processing the experiences after a weekend-long drug and alcohol-fuelled rave like we used to have in the 90s. LEN has 2 other singles that are mainstream enough for a listen on the TH-cam; "Feelin' Alright" and "My Neighborhood".
Kind of but not really - the central narrative is that two people, a guy and a girl, almost wound up together with each other but for whatever reason (he didn't approach her, she didn't approach him, etc, they didn't end up together and both of them are lamenting their lack of action to themselves - they're both beating themselves up over not approaching the other, the morning after the party where they first encountered one another
Summer of 99. Good times
Love this song, it came out in UK the summer me and my wife got together
Toronto Canada band at Daytona Beach on spring break, singers are brother and sister.
song is so cute and so was asia listening
A band from Toronto Canada, I believe!
Don't steal my sunshine! Peace, Love!!
The "strange sound" made me think of hitting a coconut shell together, idk why. Give a listen to "Man of the Year" and "Cryptik Souls Crew" on the same album :)
It's a small cowbell. About 4inches long 3inches wide. I had one that was nearly 80yrs old. Add some heavy reverb and there you go.
LEN from Toronto 💯
When she said she was putting straws together and how long it got I had to laugh. I've done that! It's just a fun thing to do😜
It’s just a summer song for cruising and singing.✌️😊💜
that drum is a sample from a 70s disco hit "More, More, More", and im nearly positive it's a Linn Drum machine (think electro disco drum sound). Linn drum was used, famously, on John Cougar Mellancamp's "Jack & Diane" for that snappy snare hit near the end (fun fact: it was The Bee Gee's drum machine). EDIT: it also could have been (as mentioned below) a temple-block. Both the Linn Drum, the Roland Juno-60 synth, and a few early Roland drum machines all had ways of creating similar sounds to the temple-block as the latter was used in a lot of varying dance styles (salsa, bossa nova, etc).
that same instrument I think you mean (the one that kind of sounds to me like two bowling pins being hit together) is featured prominently in another 70s era song, "Couldn't Get It Right" by the Climax Blues Band.
It's a party, summer time song, I remember when this came out and was everywhere you went. It reminds me of parties back in the late 90s when everyone was snorting OXY. Lol
My playlist for my first road trip of every summer starts with this song and oftentimes it's in what I call my "Record Trip Playlist" because I have a certain playlist that I crank up in my car on the one day a month I go downstate to buy new records!
You need to see the video....a real vibe
Ever since hearing this for the first time before knowing who sang it or the name i instantly liked it for the piano or whatever sound that is throughout use to like drinkin to this in summer 🤣
Len, which also featured rapper Biz Markie (R.I.P.), has a few other songs, some that did better than others, but would be fun to reactions to:
"Cryptik Souls Crew" uses a sample looped from the song "Dynomite" by Bazooka (another 70s track)
"Beautiful Day"
"Feelin' Alright"
it's the wooden version of a cow bell i think...you are right its a sound thats bring out the beat
Great brother and sister duo
This album is crazy cool. Half of it is rap-hop the other pretty straight rock.
And it all worked. 'Bum rush the show' was the title I think?..
I see sunshine in Asia's smile! 😍😍
Ahh...good old late 90s college bar days. Nice one.
You need to watch the music video with this song. Its just a cheerful, fun, feel good song. Nothing too deep.
As long as you don't know the two singers are brother and sister. They're a little too friendly with each other.
Peak 90s!
Monster one hit wonder back in the day.
That tap sort of sound would be a percussive instrument, in the drum family.
The video shows a time of fun and freedom without judgements.... just teenage fun
If you want something different give Uprising from the Adephi theatre in Sheffield DJ Paul O playing! The venue was instrumental in the rave scene that came out of Britain
Canadian brother and sister duo!
The backseat is from More More More by Andrea True
The lyrics throw me on this one 😂
I’m sure others said this but when you mouthed the words it was funny because that’s what they do in the video.
Gotta love them Sticky Buns 😉
I love this song so much❤️
That sound your thinking of is like an electric cowbell sound lol
Bro, you vibein'! I love it!
Listen to original disco hit "More More More" by Andrea True Connection from which Len took sample. imho, Len's song is nothing but this short sample+bad singing while Andrea's disco hit is pure bliss from disco days of 1970s.
KAREN, I LOVE YOU!
I remember seeing a translation of the lyrics from the "Tribal speak" somewhere.
It’ll be your only time hearing them 🤣
Gotta see the video on this one.
Sucha throwback!
wow, they're canadian? always felt like such a california song, you gotta watch the video with it...
i now realize that I've never actually listened to the lyrics now, aside from the chorus
I was going to say if my memory serves me correctly their brother and sister it's a very cute video just a fun video absolutely correct Ruckus👇✌
Yes!!! They were brother and sister !
This is one of those guilty pleasure songs. I still fk with it. Don't care.
I stumble upon y'all on a steady basis.(I promise I will subscribe...right after this) and I've seen y'all react to some bands that I've enjoyed for years. Most of those videos are close to a sitcom. This not so much...and I'm with you. Hahahaha love the song. It's weird twisted lyrics will keep you guessing for hours, but fun nonetheless. Y'all seem to be about my age maybe a fair bit younger.(not gonna go there. Mama taught me better.), But if you don't remember, I do. This was around/just before Will Smith's 'Willennium". Jiggy was out I believe and life was pristine. Lol I haven't watched this particular video just yet, but I saw the timestamp and had to say...again...I get it. 🤣🤣🤣 WITAF?! of a song is this?
Need the video for this one.
The video they are at the beach messing around and also riding bikes lol brother and sister dude reminds me of B-Rad from Malibu's Most Wanted 😂 that instrument youre referring to Asia reminds me of an underwater sound lol
Ya I used to party with the female singers sister back in the day & she always said her sister was a B!!
The official video is really weird and fun! It's a brother and sister and the sister is very pregnant.
There is a pregnant woman in the video but it's not Sharon.
I miss the days when the DJs would seamlessly loop the beginning if this song into More, More, More...the sampled song and add 3 minutes to it...fun!
AH yes , the 1 hit wonder of Len .
Damn no head bob Asia? This jams the truth.. One hit wonder yall. You might not have heard them cause of that. Sample from a 70's song Move, move, move made by a porn star
For all the times I've heard this song, I never could understand what they were saying. Now that I see the lyrics, I'm still confused about what they're saying. lol
99 bop..... petrolie weed and whiskey
Give their song Cryptic Souls Crew a listen
There's just something about this song. Every fiber of my being says I should hate it, but somehow I don't.
This song was on the radio do much ,if you changed the station because you tired of heat pit,it would be on another station
I do like this corky fun beat,but its also a really good melody and the vocals are good too...I really would have wished you guys to have reacted to the original video instead..its really good too...the lyrics didnt much sense,but hey,Im ok with it,its good enough on other merits to make this a pleasuring song to listen too...
Gotta watch the video
They were kinda like "The New Radicals", or at least came out around the same time. Don't know too much about this band myself.
Thx. for reactions, as always!
🙏❤️✌️
Its a big ol' jam block
Sunshine /love
They taking about that bagged sunshine? They all got shades on in the video.
