This song was a favorite of my little girl Amber - she loved Superman. She used to laugh her head off to this song. She passed away in 2011. Thanks, Spin Doctors, for giving her some joy with this fun song.
In my 20's I managed a concert venue and they played there once. The lead singer was the nicest guy. He had such a great attitude. I hope that he is well
This is Groovy all the way around & back, excellent musicianship, pure rhythm and roll, this session has stood the test of time. Kings of the infusion, clean classic soul and roll.👑
What Bands "like Spindoctors" perhaps name some? (Good try son.) I miss much of yesterday too. Why? It just seemed more open to innovation& so much creativity without repression. As if Poetic Licence MEANT something.
This band was huge when my folks were in college. They're quite young when I was born. I love this song! I hadn't heard it in years and I could hear it somewhere in the distance of my dream last night. I often hear music in my dreams. It's an oldie and goodie.
These guys are not only one of the best Jam bands. They are absolutely some of the nicest musical artists on the planet I saw them in Buffalo a few years ago and they literally wouldn't let anyone leave the venue until they had left the stage and they went by the front doors and personally thanked and signed autographs for every fan and attendance if they wanted it I've been to hundreds of shows that thanks gratefulness on a scale that I've never witnessed
I was lucky enough to see them in Minneapolis when I was 20, and just saw them last year ... one of the most underrated bands of the 90's ... especially the guitarist; live he is mind blowing!!!
Great songs and quality musicianship right here! This band is a hidden gem. I remember listening to their songs 4 the first time back at 92 and little did I know but I became a life fan. Thnx for the memories.
It was me, maybe 20 years ago, in a kitchen in Italy in front of a little black and white tv listening to this. The song, the music, the moment... they are so inside me that I think they could be mistake with one of my bones
This is one of the bands that introduced me to 'alternative rock' when I was in college. I just love bands that sound different and kinda unique. Heard these guys at a free open air concert in Las Vegas at the Rio. Was so amazing to lay on the 'beach' by the casino's pool and listen to them play all their greatest songs. I'll never forget it.
Saw these guys open up for Blues Traveler in the fall of 1992 at Ithaca College in New York. My buddy was a freshman there, and I was visiting from one of the SUNY universities. It was a wild show, they were incredible live, with the bass and clean tone guitar absolutely blowing me away. There was no doubt these guys would blow up shortly, and they did. As a funny aside, my friend's roommates were approached after the show by Chris Barron. He was wandering the campus, asking where he could score some pot lol. Super nice guy, great memories of the early 90s)).
My guitar instructor told me to learn the triads and their inversions all over the neck and then referenced this song to provide me the “why” I needed to learn them. Message received😮
i bought this album when i was probably 12 years old, at that point it was 1999....still such a good album and i can sing about all the words still...!! :) :)
@@dizmop sorry sounded aggressive as a comment, I just found the lyrics to be super comprehensive. The singer is singing from the perspective of Jimmie Olsen, who’s a character from the super man comics. He’s talking about how he loves Lois lane but he can’t compete with literal Superman. He wants Lois lane to come spend the night with him saying he has a “pocket full of kryptonite” so Superman can’t interrupt them. Pretty basically the deal.
If you don't introduce this kind of music to your kids you should be ashamed of yourself. Im 47 and I did a few years ago and my 10 year old loves this whole CD. Great parenting. I believe so.
this song brings back the best memories from my early nineties summers. This whole album was so amazing. kisses to you guys for this. I wish things now were the way they were then💜
Wao! am an old and embarrass... I remember this song and started dancing in the house alone while the wife went shopping.....am glad my grown kids weren't home at the time. Just got into pc stuff and learning to communicate with my kids..... is different than the 80's... God bless you all......
This band is criminally criminally under rated. This is what the nineties needed! The guitarist, Anthony Krizan, can riff like it’s nobody’s business, the drummer Aaron Comess plays really flavorfuly, the bassist Mark White can hold down such a damn good groove, and Chris Barron’s voice is super smooth and gentle!
Actually, Krizan was a sort of stand-in for their actual guitarist Eric Schenkman on their second record Turn it Upside Down. I mean technically they fired him and hired Krizan. I say Stand-in because they eventually re-hired him, and in the History of the band Krizan was a small speedbump....no offence to him, he had huge shoes to fill. My point is, he didn't play on this song, or album and was only with the band for a bit. 'What? I just like being accurate.'
Holy crap. I COMPLETELY forgot about the Spin Doctors until I was going through a box of my old CDs tonight. This CD probably hasn't been played for 20+ years - sorry CD! Thankfully there's TH-cam now and I can watch the music video I've definitely watched. Technology is great isn't it?
I used to love the crowd surfing at concerts in the 90's. Now people just stand around. First time I have seen this video and love seeing my beloved hometown NY. Roseland, Webster Hall, The Academy , Hammerstein , Wetlands Preserve , The Tunnel ahh NYC in the 90's good times! And I loved the Spin Doctor's..
The funny thing about this band is that all 3 of their hits (Jimmy Olsen's Blues, Little Miss can't Be Wrong, Two Prince's), are all almost the same chord progression and tempo. I remember seeing them at Amherst College back when this record came out. Promoters tried to squish them in with bands like Phish and Dave Matthews etc. It didn't quite fit.
The band and bassist Mark White were very underrated. For me, one of the best bass players in the world. He has a unique thumb technique. I talked to him once and said he was friends with Victor Wooten. They developed the same technique
Not only were they all over the radio, But their guitar work from this song (and the intro to two princes) was on practically every sporting event and football game in the mid 90's!!!
Chico State. Way early 1990s in a dented VW Scirocco trying to be cool on a date. With a Kraco radio and tape. Great post and bless for reminding us. Seeing the video lots of us wanted to go to NYC.
The year is 2008, a perfect spring afternoon is upon us. Spin doctors are playing a free outdoor concert in Albany NY at the "tulip festival". The whole gang has been planning around this for weeks. At just 16, this was going to be my first concert without the parents. We take the city bus downtown and start drinking cheap vodka mixed with gatorade. A terrible combination, but I was too young and stupid to care. By the time we got to the park, the buzz had washed over me like a cool wave. We make our way to center stage just in time and had prime viewing. During the set I meet my would-be summer fling, a catholic school girl with mutual friends. We danced, shared a few laughs, a joint, and enjoyed the music together. Life is good.
These guys obviously studied Jimmy Page & Led Zep, Page's whole philosophy was putting more mics on the drums and pushing them more forward in the mix.
I just saw them in a free concert last night in Rochester, MN. They are a very fun group to watch and they don't take themselves too damn seriously. Great time!
La recuerdo mucho cuando la ponían en radio Doble 9 y la grabé en cassette, después la ponía 1000 veces de camino a la playa cuando aprendía a surferar en Pampilla, que recuerdos
A hidden gem in musicology. Every note beat and pulse kicks ass. They were a top shelf band.
Well said my friend.
This one is better than 2 Princes imo
Love this song. 60 years old and this still a fresh.
👍
It’s always about the drums
This drummer is a monster.
Very unique band beyond A level
Highly underrated song. I honestly love to listen to this song on repeat waaaaay more than Two Princes
Two princes is a good song, Jimmy Olsen Blues and What time is it are GREAT songs.
earworm. I keep singing parts out of nowhere 30 years later.
Is it great song very funky for the speed it's going at
I love this song.
I dont necessarily hate two princes, but it is one of two songs i skip on this album along with off my line. The rest of the album is great
This song was a favorite of my little girl Amber - she loved Superman. She used to laugh her head off to this song. She passed away in 2011. Thanks, Spin Doctors, for giving her some joy with this fun song.
She’s in God’s palm. 🙏🏻
Every young person deserves hope for a big future. Hope your sister gets superpowers wherever we all have to go.
In my 20's I managed a concert venue and they played there once. The lead singer was the nicest guy. He had such a great attitude. I hope that he is well
he is :)
Good to know Joe L (Thanks for sharing that)
Heart warming to hear ☺
A stand up guy in addition to being so so talented. Give him a shout @TheChrisBarron
His daughter is on TIKTOK and she celebrates the hell out of him. I love this band so much .
This is such a good song, reminds me of spring/summer and chill out times with decent people, high times and drinking, fun and carelessness :)
YES! Exactly this. :)
I am 68 .spin doctors keep me well.love this group.I have to see them live before I fly away...great. great.great.Larry,
Oh, Really and on what airline might that be ?
Jeffrey Hinkle .....and I bet your just the guy that could do it too ! Happy Trails
Rock on, Larry! Age is but a number my brother from an older mother!
Seen them live in the late 90es. Really worth it- just do it brother!
I thought I was the only old guy listening to Spin Doctors. (I was in my forties when they became a hit). Rock on bro. Music makes us young.
Early 90s NYC. Our last golden age. It lasted just 10 more years....
Wonderfully underrated group!!! This is my fav from them!!!
This is Groovy all the way around & back, excellent musicianship, pure rhythm and roll, this session has stood the test of time. Kings of the infusion, clean classic soul and roll.👑
Wow! One of the best tunes from the 90s! I miss these years and bands like Spin Doctors...
What Bands "like Spindoctors" perhaps name some? (Good try son.) I miss much of yesterday too. Why? It just seemed more open to innovation& so much creativity without repression. As if Poetic Licence MEANT something.
I'm so glad the spin doctors exist
+Danish Corr Me too. Totally rocked!
im a lot more glad that superman exists
i feel much safer
I'm not
biggest kidz bop fan go away troll
So good 👍 one of my favorite bands for sure !

I used to listen to these guys when they first came out. I love Jimmy Olsens, Two Princes, little miss cant be wrong.
this tune is very underated...most people dont get it.....and yes mate you are right all class tunes from a class band x
Yes, but voice is better!
What time is it? Is one of my favs
@@Mcrclerk What time is it?? Fo' thirtay. It's not late, naw. It's just early, early, early. 😂😂😂
I love them in Sesame Street singing Two Princes. They look so akward.

The world needs bands like this on the radio again.
Actually, we all just need to go back to 1993.
If you're going I'm coming with you.
Can I come too?
I'm down
I'll bring the beer. When do we leave? Can I have my young 20 year old body back too? lol
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
90s!!!!!
Had the pleasure of meeting them in the early 90s. To this day they were the nicest people and for sure the nicest band I have ever meet.
I was lucky enough to see them in Minneapolis when I was 20, and just saw them last year ... one of the most underrated bands of the 90's ... especially the guitarist; live he is mind blowing!!!
Amazing! Love ALL versions of Jimmy Olsen's Blues. Great version, this.
Chris Barron cleans up real good.......lo.l SD forever!
A brilliant song, musically and lyrics are fab. My favourite spin doctors song
Great songs and quality musicianship right here! This band is a hidden gem.
I remember listening to their songs 4 the first time back at 92 and little did I know but I became a life fan.
Thnx for the memories.
Great song and a totally underrated band. Thanks Fellas!
I have loved this ultra cool ultra talented band for 25 years now. Rockin forever!
It was me, maybe 20 years ago, in a kitchen in Italy in front of a little black and white tv listening to this. The song, the music, the moment... they are so inside me that I think they could be mistake with one of my bones
The best band ever. Í love everything they did. Name a bad song. You can't.

i really like his voice... shud be conquering the world with their music...
I love the 90s. Best music, fell in love, got married......still in love.
My favorite drummer and favorite part! That snare!
Brady!
People forget how massive these guys were in the day.. absolutely cracking top-notch playing
i saw them tonight :D
free concert
they were amazing.
im 15 & first time i heard them
It's hard to believe.... that you're 28 already _!!_
→ life whips by, no matter what decade you start in . . .
I'm not big on nostalgia but the 1990s does make me want to go back ha ha. Great song.
Great shot of energy. My favourite one of them.
Groovy good rock🤘❣️🎶 Thank you🙌🎶

Such a magnificent band. I want more.
Best live band I’ve ever seen
Never gets old
That snare sounds so good!
Very Good band 60 years old and blowing me away. Fantastic.
The guitar work on this track is why I like it so much...
Great rock classic that came out thirty years ago by the Spin Doctors!
this song brings back the best memories from my early nineties summers. This whole album was so amazing. kisses to you guys for this. I wish things now were the way they were then💜
Just a happy little carefree hippie band from the early 90s with a few jangly radio hits. Good shit. :)
still putting out an album every few years...some of their more recent stuff is very good.
Are you trying to say..............it' not the nineties anymore? then when the h*** are we?
Your godamn right
Yes, and all us 60s hippies appreciate them in the nineties. ;)
@@napalmparade breaking bad reference?
I never got to see them live, but I have the CD from way back when. I was jamming to this all through high school. Great stuff.

not to mention the singing. this dude has some serious pipes. One of my all time faves.
If I ever host Saturday Night Live ...I want these guys as my musical guest.....
YES
Let’s make it happen
One of my favourite songs of all time - xxx

'What? I just like being accurate.'
@@Matt.Thompson.1976 Ah, okay. There’s no problem with being accurate.
IMO, their most underrated hit. Great stuff from the early 90's.
Also, watching this in 2020 - I miss PHONE BOOTHS! LOL
Like Yeh. A simple phone booth. The social centre for "Much Activity" between humans. Totally agree.
My early 20s memories.... still hits hard

THE SPIRIT OF RADIO AND SCREEN ITS AWSOME
Thankfully CDs sound exactly as good today as they did the day you bought them!
Yeah man they are the shizzle when yer all fizzled lol ! ^5
I used to play this cassette in my 02 beetle as I cruised through downtown. Ahh good times.
I found this song on one of my dad's older Cds..... but i listen to it with an old babysitter, and i fell in love!!!
BEST SPIN DOCTORS SONG, I hate how so many wonderful bands went unnoticed in the 90s.
still funky fresh in 2021!
I used to love the crowd surfing at concerts in the 90's. Now people just stand around. First time I have seen this video and love seeing my beloved hometown NY.

By FAR the best song from these guys.
This is Real music! This is poetic
I love these guys ❤️❤️
I met the lead singer at the furthur festival in 98.. one of the coolest musicians I've spoken with.
I'd actually forgotten how good these guys were!
I got a pocket full of kryptonite 🎵,
still lovin ❤ this tune in 2020👍
really cool band .
keep it real: ) great drumming

Killer bassist to
Definitely had this album on cassette.
They became a bit of a punch line at the time. Maligned even. There's no denying the band was comprised of some very talented musicians however.

That snare 😎

Very interesting band,love them .This song is fantastic!
Looks like Layne Staley happy
Happy Layne! 😂
Michelle Gomes omg yeah so I see I’m not the only one who thinks he looks somehow like Layne lol 😄
Someone to train english ?
Also, Seattle early 90’s
thats right.....
"Pocket full of kryptonite" . Says it all doesn't it.
Wow! I'm 21 again. Thanks for posting.
heard these guys at a free concert at a casino in Vegas a few years ago. great band to hear live.
John Enfield totally! they played a free show at my college campus in 2006 and barely anyone went but they were amazing 👍🏻
I just saw them in a free concert last night in Rochester, MN. They are a very fun group to watch and they don't take themselves too damn seriously. Great time!
Mi primer cd, lo compré a 18 pesos en 1992. Tenía 9 años. Lo volvería a elegir.
La recuerdo mucho cuando la ponían en radio Doble 9 y la grabé en cassette, después la ponía 1000 veces de camino a la playa cuando aprendía a surferar en Pampilla, que recuerdos
Top notch rock . The guitar cuts through like a meat cleaver , the bass and drums are propulsive and the lead singer is very good
OMG so good, and underrated...talented as hell.
Ah, Spin Doctors. Some of the FUNKIEST guitar rifffs of the 90's just listen to that Guitar solo!!
This album had so many damn good songs on it and they only ever play one of them over and over again on the radio and it *bothers* me.
the bassline was so funky!
Holding strong in 2020, god bless hippy music!
Spin Doctors were pretty big for a time. 'Two Princes' was all over the radio for months.
Refreshing uncorrupt music. Possibly the best album of the 90´s.
Awesome song!
Im so glad my mom had this cd when i was a kid. So damn good.
Awesome 90s!
