This song came out when I was 30. I had 2 kids in elementary school. My kids and I would be in the car cruising and singing this song. The 90s had some great tunes. I am now 55, and my kids have their little ones. I find myself looking up 90s tunes because it reminds me of better days. Unfortunately, I lost my son in 2020, but the memory of him singing then and even as a young man makes me smile. Treasure every moment and make them last. They sure help you when you need a smile! ❤😊
@johnfoy2840 It does suck. I hate that you had to experience that. Losing a child is almost unbearable. I didnt know if I was going to survive it. I have learned to accept that life is short and to always expect the unexpected. I miss my son every day, but I promised him when I buried him , I would speak his name daily. When I did that, the tears turned to smiles. I feel lost at times, but remember that I was blessed to have him 28 years. God gave me him for a short time, and I am thankful for that.
@@rachaelstephens209 Hi Rachael. Thank you so much for your kind, thoughtful response. I, too, am not bitter, but most grateful for what I had. Indeed, we were the lucky ones. ❤😊
90s is a great example that teaches you the lesson “life will never be the same again”. The era is gone. Only few can remember the magic of it ✨🛸🦖👽🔥💎❤️
The 90s were the last era that people were actually connected without everybody having electronics/internet. It was a special time we'll hopefully tell our grandkids
All we have now, is the memory of the blessed 90’s and as time goes on, the gratitude for being born and having a childhood in those days. We were seriously lucky, being close to the last wave who grew up without the internet, without social media, and honestly, during a time where “social” meant something truly different! I miss it. Also. This song is virtually objectively bad (those lyrics...) but it’s still, provides me with a nice jolt of nostalgia nonetheless.
Summer of 1999, I was 8 years old and my Grandma had a Mustang convertible. She took my cousins and I for a ride and blasted this song…every time I hear this it takes me right back to that day. 24 years later and she is still the coolest Grandma ❤
@@Kingx90 It was legendary. Great times. I remember watching Hey Arnold. Nickelodeon was the best in the summer. Disney Channel. MTV still played music videos. I remember watching Real World and Daria. It was also a great year for movies. American Beauty, Three Kings, many more. I remember watching X Games on ESPN. Damn good times! Kids still went outside to play and ride bikes.
@@PokrPro21 I was born in 1990, I think we were the last generation that went out and rode bikes. Life was an adventure. America still felt like things would always be great and free. It’s a time that’s never coming back unfortunately. Great decade. 💕
@@KarenHolmes-cy2me Same thing here as well.I read the news on Yahoo and this was the first song which striked me. This song was such a chartbuster in MTV India back in 2000s .MTV used to play it umpteen times through out the day.Weird lyrics but music beats are awesome.
The fact that this song is nostalgic, everyone looks young and happy, has that "endless summer" feeling, but also has 2 members who has since passed... really makes you realize how fast time flies and how short life is.
+RXR No, it totally is. Rich Cronin once said in an interview that he wrote the lyrics in an afternoon, I think they recorded it in a few takes. It was always meant to be kinda silly and never be taken seriously as a piece of art. It was just fun & catchy, kinda like a summer fling. lol
Always hated this song when it came out, but nostalgia has a way of transfiguring and redeeming. It's not really the song that you miss. It's the person you were, that young, promising one who is now long-gone, that you miss.
Most of the lyrics didn't make sense back then, but still became one of my favorite song. Still memorized like 97% of the lyrics. RIP Rich and Devin. Still remembering you now in 2022.
Jesus, two of these guys are dead? As a 10 year old boy jealous of their “sex-appeal” in 1999, weirdly, I feel a bit guilty now. I wanted to punch them all in face because I wanted to tell girls about Paul Revere, and laugh at my jokes!
@@jonatgan8546 Of course you're right, but try telling that to a 8 year old me! I wanted to take all the girls to Abercrombie and Fitch, not these jerks! Still jealous.....
Ahhhhhhhh the best times ever y'all!🙋♀️📺🎧 MTV ....TRL.... 106&PARK MYSPACE...AIM... The beach, the movies, hanging with friends, summer camp, vacations, spring break, school dances, prom !!!!!! Nothing beats our CHILDHOOD , we had the best times ever , Sooooooo simple, fun, and pure, with just the right amount of wild , edge & craziness . Nothing beats the 90S AND 2000S 🌈🤸♀️🎶🎵
There is something so haunting about knowing that two of the boy members has died, and the lyrics seem like they had a lot of fun when they were alive. Something about growing up is so depressing
Oh I didnt know Just listen at corona home office to my old CDs, first wondering that I've bought this Maxi CD then , but its not bad track and that feeling was back
RIP Devin 🙏🏽🖤 May you finally be out of pain. Your music will live on forever, just like you will in our hearts! I know without a doubt that Rich met you at the pearly white gates to welcome you home. Thank you for being a part of my childhood & giving me such amazing memories...for that I’ll be eternally grateful. During summer vacation my older brother & I would leave it on the “music video channel” ALL day long and I remember this would be on repeat. We would sing to it, word for word, and watch the video every time it was on. I look back on those memories so fondly, as my older brother passed away 5 years ago at the age of 26. We’re 6 years apart but as close as ever, he remains one of my best friends and this song to me defines our childhood lol for that I’m grateful 🙏🏽🙏🏽 #RIP
This song has been part of my high school music list. Went to check on this after hearing Brian Gillis passing. Reuniting with his 2 other band members. Rest in eternal summer, LFO. 🤍🙏🏼🥹
*This song will always remind me of visiting my dad and step fam in Miramar, FL during the Summer of 1999. There was just something special about that summer. I was 15 at the time and remember all of the fun things that happened. The Wood came out, the crush I had, talking to girls on the house phone, etc. It was a great time to be a teen. I'll be 36 this year and will always cherish those good memories....*
In 1999 I'd only would've been 10 years old, but there is a certain overwhelming nostalgia of the good ol 90's that well up when hearing this song and others from that time. So I might not have been 15 but I completely understand the sense of that summer being special, in fact summer for a lot of the 90s was just something else. So, so so many memories and looking back on them is bittersweet, it's long gone and time presses on but those memories are magical.
Many people have always been poor. Some people don't even know about the economy, they've just never really had much money. I grew up that way, as did the people around me.
Yo this song came out when back when I was like younger I started listening to LFO This song is called Summer Girls and it was a good song that rocked and it's still rocks I love this song I like this song I respect my heart to this song I got a lot of heart and a lot of Pride for this song that's why I love listening to this song and I like enjoying to the be listening to the song it's got some good funky Jam beats y'all you best believe that my br a t h a from another mo t h a it's got to be to this song yo and y'all best believe that y'all.
i came to this mtv just out of the blue,, just remembered them , to discover 3 members already passed. this is part of my childhood, starting to appreciate music,,,, i also had a cassette tape of this song , along with other hits of 99. respect to LFO ❤
I'm a 17 year who listens to 90's music thanks to my mother. My mom is a huge fan of LFO. Especially- Rich. I enjoy this song very much my friends and I jam to this everyday. I don't care what anyone says this song is a hit. Rip Rich & Devin.
RIP the three members of LFO Rich Cronin (August 30, 1974 - September 8, 2010), aged 36 Brian Gillis (May 11, 1975 - March 29, 2023), aged 47 Devin Lima (March 18, 1977 - November 21, 2018), aged 41 You will be remembered as legends.
man... the good old days... no matter where I am or what I'm doing if I hear any of these 90's early 2000's songs it puts me right back in that years... this was good music.
Ok here are some of my favorite lyrics from here: "The great Larry Bird Jersey 33" "Billy Shakespeare wrote a whole bunch of sonnets" "Macauly Culkin wasn't home alone" "When I met you I said my name is Rich, you look like a girl from Abercrombie and Fitch" "Dad took off when you were 4 years old, there was a good man named Paul Revere, I feel much better baby when you're near" "Think about that summer and I bug, cause I miss it, like the color purple, macaroni and cheese, ruby red slippers, and a bunch of trees" "I like Kevin Bacon but I hate Footloose"
I was 21 when this came out! Summer Girls FOREVER! LFO FOREVER! LEGENDARY GOOSEBUMPS MAKES ME REMEMBER THE GOOD TIMES IN MY LIFE! AGAIN SUMMER GIRLS FOREVER! 🔥 I THINK ITS FLY WHEN GIRLS STOP BY FOR THE SUMMER! RIP ALL 3 MEMBERS REST EASY 🙏
Summer before senior year, this blasting thru the speakers of my Ford Ranger on the way to the beach to spend the whole day in the sun.. never once thinking I’d look back 20 some years later wondering how time fly by so fast.
I started writing around the time this song came out. I was 14 and I was already about as good as he was. "Living in the ghetto with jepetto, chillin with Pinocchio smoking stogies bro"
2018 comment passing through. I woke up with the chorus in my head for some reason. Haven’t thought about this song in 17+ years. I just now realized how lyrically comedic it is.
music has that impact. it's so nostalgic for me hearing this song because it reminds me of when life was so carefree as a kid. It's funny how a song we havent heard or thought about can pop into our minds so randomly and transport us back in time
This songs brings me back to 8th grade & my crush was singing this song 😢 I’m soooo sad that 2 of the members are no longer here… I’m 37 now 😢I was 13 when this song charted at the top! Damn the time is going by soooo fast ❤
I am their age, I live in Europe but their music, even though I knew was bad, now brings memories of the time I was a teenager, having fun, no pressure, no long-term plans, we each live this time of our lives only once. RIP guys peace...
Kaylie Macy :yeah but techincally there’s still 2 left surviving members if you count Brian Gillis who left in 1999 and was with the group from 1995-1999 so Brad isn’t the only surviving member of Lfo left since the group started with Rich,Brad&Brian then went to Rich,Brad&Devin, Brian and Brad are the only two left out of the 4 even if the group was a trio both times up with different members until 2017-2018 when it was just Brad&Devin. Brad kind of has a mourning buddy and one surviving brother left.
How 8.5K people would dislike it, is beyond me. It was such a special time to be young, and this song captures all of it. I wouldn't change it for anything, and I would go back, no questions asked, if I could. You just had to be there to understand, I guess. ♥ Rest in peace, Rich, Devin and Brian. 😔
The lyrics aren’t random, I thought so to but after listening to it a few times I think the lyrics go over peoples heads. He’s talking about a particular summer/year and everything is a reference to what was happening around him and what he felt and thought at the time.
@@OAT86 Lmao I didn’t call it a master piece or anything. Also this is obviously a song for high schoolers so I guess that was suppose to be “relatable”.
SuperDevolution A lot of random things about their days in high school. They’re describing the times. How New Kids On The Block had a bunch of hits. How Chinese food made them sick. And being from Boston, they mention Larry Bird was still around and killing it. My guess is they’re talking about ‘92.
@@biconditionals I think they're talking about things that happen/happened in summer... just generally speaking; any summer with the Shakespeare part being about Shakespeare in the Park maybe? Although he also just throws "there was a good man named Paul Revere"... so.................. yea
I miss the 90's. Everything and Everyone wasn't ALL ABOUT THE BENJAMINS!, A MUCH MORE SIMPLER TIME!, The Fun On "Summer" Breaks Off Of School as A Young Frankfort Yeahoo & Playing Outside With My Frankfort Yeayhoo Non-Related Kin Fok On Those Breaks Off Of School in the "Summer".
I bumped this song at max volume after finishing my shift at McDonald's back in 1999. It happened to be playing on the radio. I proceeded to put my 1979 Plymouth Caravelle with a 318 V8 into reverse and turned too sharp... totally destroyed the front end.. it collided with the concrete pillar.... I am still embarrassed about it to this day, 23 years later, but these are the kind of things that we will often reminisce about and will never forget.
Randomly I suddenly thought of this song after all these years! This song was released 20 years ago today! I had no idea Rich and Devin both passed! So unfortunate. These songs brought me joy in my 20’s late at night cruising in my car with the radio playing and jamming out! They will be missed!
Grew up with this on repeat as a kid, got two kids myself now and just read that 2 of the gents have past away, very sad. RIP. What a song. Takes me back.
@@edvenuto9614 I just wanna go back..back to 1999 took a ride round my old neighborhood I just wanna go back so hit me baby one more time wanna go back wanna go...
Since the song is over 20 years old, the nostalgia now caters to various generations. The lyrics are for those who remember growing up in the 80s while the music video itself is for those from the 90s.
I just saw this video on MTV, decided to google LFO and learned that both Rich and Devin passed away. RIP, you made my teenage years bearable with your music.
@@rachaelhopko2606 I truly had never heard this song, probably bc I was born in '96 but I grew up loving N-SYNC, Britney, Christina and Backstreet Boys so I definitely had to check it out, and it was weird watching knowing two of the three members have passed. What a sad, sad reality we're in. 🥺🥺
2019 and still on this song! brings back so many great memories.. just heard 2 of the band members passed away and it hurts me. I'll keep playing this for their memory!! rest peacefully Devin and Rich!!
Wow, I knew Rich was gone, but I didn't until like 5 minutes ago, that Devin was too. Dude, they were waaaaaay too young man, terribly sad. This song brings back memories of the greatest summer ever, when I was 18 years old.
@@PS-ru2ov Yeah, at least you're not alone in that sentiment. With age, comes responsibility. Still tho, it doesn't mean we can't make great memories at 40 too. 20 is young, but 40 isnt exactly old either.
I’m a huge LFO fan I’m so glad I got to meet them back in 2002 and they autographed my CD. I still play their CDs. I love all the members, Devin is my top favorite.
Reminds of my teenage years , 90s , chesssy lyrics but still enjoyable, and sadly now today I heard Devin also died with stage 4 cancer ; RIP Rich and Devin , REST WELL and I hope you are both at a better place with no more pain😪😪😪😪😪
I was 8 years old when this came out and remember watching MTV and Disney Channel and they always played this:) Times were good. Thanks LFO for the memories I always smile when I hear this or watch the video. R.I.P Devin and Rich
The lyrics to this might be the dumbest I’ve ever heard, they literally aren’t SAYING anything, they’re just saying a bunch of words and random phrases that have nothing to do with one another. What does Chinese food making him sick and Macaulay Culkin being in Home Alone have anything to do with Summer Girls? Lmfao this song is so fucking bad it hurts.
Everytime I hear this song and sing it. This song stays in my head playing for hours and hours. But man. What a beautiful song to have stuck in my head.
Same here! This was my challenge song when I was young, learning english, and not getting half of what they were singing :P Such a silly and cute vibe of the 90's!
Damn the nostalgia of this song. This was my childhood lol. Thinking I was the dopest kid at the 5th grade dance dressed just like these guys. Frosted tips in my hair and all that lmao.
I am truly and deeply pained to have just learned that most this boy band members have passed away. Seriously, the memories are still very fesh in my mind when this song came out. Life is precious,live well.
Ahhh.. legit just started singing this out of nowhere. Pulled it from THE DEEP DEPTHS of my memory and so hand to find it and play it. It’s CRAZY how many song lyrics you still know from this long ago lol
Actually Abercrombie and Fitch was HOT in 2000! Preppy stuff was really in. So a girl who wears A&F back then was a hottie. Trust me I remember. I was there.
I remember the first time i head this song. Summer 99 in Laughlin Nevada. Family was coming home from the river and this came on the radio station in my stepdads 95 Astro van. Great memories! I was 11 then. Im 36 now!

“Michael J. Fox was Alex P. Keaton” - one of my favorite lines ever for some reason
Same here. I think it's because it's the best, most useless piece of info you could ever hear in a song.
Because it’s so random and has no place in the song 🤣🤣
I thought Rich said he was a chicken 🤔
@@sarahbaz12 half the lines in the song have no place in it
@@michelles.6466Not really. It hints the time period of the story that he’s telling.
Back when you were a kid with no worries, growing up in a good economy. Good food, good music, good times, a good life.😌
Many people have always been poor. Some people don't even know about the economy, they've just never really had much money.
I grew up that way, as did the people around me.
Before the ass hole Democrats ruined everything
@@CaptainAMAZINGGG But we were still happier. The zeitgeist today is very different.
I feel America has lost a lot we were happier not a lot of worries the pandemic has changed a lot
@@ruibento9840Almost no one was truly happy, the pandemic just uncovered the farce.
"This song is so dumb" I say as I replay it for the 97th time
Came to say this 😂
Yo this song came out when back when I was like younger I started listening to LFO This song is called Summer Girls and it was a good song that rocked and it's still rocks I love this song I like this song I respect my heart to this song I got a lot of heart and a lot of Pride for this song that's why I love listening to this song and I like enjoying to the be listening to the song it's got some good funky Jam beats y'all you best believe that my br a t h a from another mo t h a it's got to be to this song yo and y'all best believe that y'all.

i came to this mtv just out of the blue,, just remembered them , to discover 3 members already passed. this is part of my childhood, starting to appreciate music,,,, i also had a cassette tape of this song , along with other hits of 99. respect to LFO ❤
I'm a 17 year who listens to 90's music thanks to my mother. My mom is a huge fan of LFO. Especially- Rich. I enjoy this song very much my friends and I jam to this everyday. I don't care what anyone says this song is a hit.
Rip Rich & Devin.

90’s Music!
man... the good old days... no matter where I am or what I'm doing if I hear any of these 90's early 2000's songs it puts me right back in that years... this was good music.
I'm afraid not
If u think this is good music I feel bad for you. This is SHIT
Queenmarie88 thanks for your opinion. i'll cherish it.
josabetorea LOL Sorry my opinion is different and I thank you for making me laugh with your reply!!! Have a great day !!smiles!!!
totally agree...most who disagree are real young and just dont understand the past.
Ok here are some of my favorite lyrics from here:
"The great Larry Bird Jersey 33"
"Billy Shakespeare wrote a whole bunch of sonnets"
"Macauly Culkin wasn't home alone"
"When I met you I said my name is Rich, you look like a girl from Abercrombie and Fitch"
"Dad took off when you were 4 years old, there was a good man named Paul Revere, I feel much better baby when you're near"
"Think about that summer and I bug, cause I miss it, like the color purple, macaroni and cheese, ruby red slippers, and a bunch of trees"
"I like Kevin Bacon but I hate Footloose"
Not to mention "I'll steal your honey like I stole your bike"
Cecilia O'Connor omg
+Trisha Heavenly you're hot
Kasey Otis aw tnx

I miss the '90s so much it was the best time to be a teen. RIP Rich and Devin so sad 😞
Both from cancer 😞 F@(K Cancer it sucks!
I was 21 when this came out! Summer Girls FOREVER! LFO FOREVER! LEGENDARY GOOSEBUMPS MAKES ME REMEMBER THE GOOD TIMES IN MY LIFE! AGAIN SUMMER GIRLS FOREVER! 🔥 I THINK ITS FLY WHEN GIRLS STOP BY FOR THE SUMMER! RIP ALL 3 MEMBERS REST EASY 🙏
Summer before senior year, this blasting thru the speakers of my Ford Ranger on the way to the beach to spend the whole day in the sun.. never once thinking I’d look back 20 some years later wondering how time fly by so fast.
Ahh the beach...we would go 3 cars deep...man to be young

It's like he just said the first rhymes he could think of.
Berxern lmao! Right?! I can't help but sing 🎶 it though
It's stupid until you watch the Howard Stern interview with him and then find out he was a hilarious dude.... then it's genius.
Berxern chinese food are suck and shit yo
This song is funny af
I started writing around the time this song came out. I was 14 and I was already about as good as he was. "Living in the ghetto with jepetto, chillin with Pinocchio smoking stogies bro"
2018 comment passing through. I woke up with the chorus in my head for some reason. Haven’t thought about this song in 17+ years. I just now realized how lyrically comedic it is.
music has that impact. it's so nostalgic for me hearing this song because it reminds me of when life was so carefree as a kid. It's funny how a song we havent heard or thought about can pop into our minds so randomly and transport us back in time
This songs brings me back to 8th grade & my crush was singing this song 😢 I’m soooo sad that 2 of the members are no longer here… I’m 37 now 😢I was 13 when this song charted at the top! Damn the time is going by soooo fast ❤
billy shakespeare wrote a whole bunch of sonnets
lyrics geniuses. the voices of an entire generation.
You don't know how right you are.
The sad news of Devin Lima's passing brought me here. RIP dude
I JUST read about his passing. RIP
Me too...R.I.P bro
Me too
I feel bad for Brad they were his brothers
Same here😪
Two of these beautiful young men have now died from cancer. So unfair! Rest peacefully, Devin and Rich.
I am their age, I live in Europe but their music, even though I knew was bad, now brings memories of the time I was a teenager, having fun, no pressure, no long-term plans, we each live this time of our lives only once. RIP guys peace...
Kaylie Macy :yeah but techincally there’s still 2 left surviving members if you count Brian Gillis who left in 1999 and was with the group from 1995-1999 so Brad isn’t the only surviving member of Lfo left since the group started with Rich,Brad&Brian then went to Rich,Brad&Devin, Brian and Brad are the only two left out of the 4 even if the group was a trio both times up with different members until 2017-2018 when it was just Brad&Devin. Brad kind of has a mourning buddy and one surviving brother left.
@@Megz1794 Wow, you know your L.F.O. Take information.care/

How 8.5K people would dislike it, is beyond me. It was such a special time to be young, and this song captures all of it. I wouldn't change it for anything, and I would go back, no questions asked, if I could.
You just had to be there to understand, I guess. ♥
Rest in peace, Rich, Devin and Brian. 😔
The 90’s was so cool ngl ❤
This song ain't nothing but a bunch of random things being said out of nowhere and I LOVE IT!!! #90sKid
Yess lol
The lyrics aren’t random, I thought so to but after listening to it a few times I think the lyrics go over peoples heads. He’s talking about a particular summer/year and everything is a reference to what was happening around him and what he felt and thought at the time.
@@OAT86 Lmao I didn’t call it a master piece or anything. Also this is obviously a song for high schoolers so I guess that was suppose to be “relatable”.
@@therealc.t.7085 u crackhead think bro saying shii bro speaking nonsense
It's not random. He's talking about the late 80s.
I never noticed as a kid that this song is just a list of random things.
SuperDevolution A lot of random things about their days in high school. They’re describing the times. How New Kids On The Block had a bunch of hits. How Chinese food made them sick. And being from Boston, they mention Larry Bird was still around and killing it. My guess is they’re talking about ‘92.
It is a random set of things to music and it worked. Lol
Raj Banerjee yep the ‘list of things from that summer’ theory works. Except for “Billy Shakespeare wrote a bunch of sonnets”
@@biconditionals I think they're talking about things that happen/happened in summer... just generally speaking; any summer with the Shakespeare part being about Shakespeare in the Park maybe?
Although he also just throws "there was a good man named Paul Revere"... so.................. yea
That was kind of a trend for about 2 years. There were several hit songs that did that.
The most 90’s thing I’ve ever seen
Ha ha along with Steal My Sunshine from Len
Damn right. I’d give anything to go back to the 90’s
It good
I miss the 90's. Everything and Everyone wasn't ALL ABOUT THE BENJAMINS!, A MUCH MORE SIMPLER TIME!, The Fun On "Summer" Breaks Off Of School as A Young Frankfort Yeahoo & Playing Outside With My Frankfort Yeayhoo Non-Related Kin Fok On Those Breaks Off Of School in the "Summer".
i like how they thieve the culture, but dont socialize with the people.😏
what can you expect in boston right? 🤷♂️
This was a hit in my country Philippines 🇵🇭 during my college days. LFO is part of our teenage years.. RIP Rich,Devin and Brian.
I bumped this song at max volume after finishing my shift at McDonald's back in 1999. It happened to be playing on the radio. I proceeded to put my 1979 Plymouth Caravelle with a 318 V8 into reverse and turned too sharp... totally destroyed the front end.. it collided with the concrete pillar.... I am still embarrassed about it to this day, 23 years later, but these are the kind of things that we will often reminisce about and will never forget.
I thought you were leading up to how you met your wife 😅
@PuffKitty 🤣
This song and Steal My Sunshine by LEN. Always two of the best summer themed tunes of the 1990s.
Both released in 1999. Best year of the decade. What a way to end the 90's.
Interesting fact, LEN Steal My Sunshine took its backing track sample from the song More More More by Andrea True, the long version
Yes sir!!!
@@williamfernetducharme Complete the trio with Give It To You, also 1999. The three best summer songs imo.
@@williamfernetducharme well said 90 kid here to
Randomly I suddenly thought of this song after all these years! This song was released 20 years ago today! I had no idea Rich and Devin both passed! So unfortunate. These songs brought me joy in my 20’s late at night cruising in my car with the radio playing and jamming out! They will be missed!
Grew up with this on repeat as a kid, got two kids myself now and just read that 2 of the gents have past away, very sad. RIP. What a song. Takes me back.
Summer of 1999 was the shit!!!! R.I.P
1999 best year
@@edvenuto9614 I just wanna go back..back to 1999 took a ride round my old neighborhood I just wanna go back so hit me baby one more time wanna go back wanna go...
@@hallie8252 music like this is the closest thing I have to a Time Machine
Damn right!
Yes it was. I graduated high school in 99
Rich was adorable. And damn, he carried this song. #RIP
Since the song is over 20 years old, the nostalgia now caters to various generations. The lyrics are for those who remember growing up in the 80s while the music video itself is for those from the 90s.
I am one of those 90's kids, and I just want this pandemic to be over with. We need to end this stupid virus and get our lives back.
@@MrMaddox57 it certainly held us back, hope your life is better these days Will.
Born in 76. Song is about my childhood and huge crush on LFO in my early 20s.
I just saw this video on MTV, decided to google LFO and learned that both Rich and Devin passed away. RIP, you made my teenage years bearable with your music.
It’s it so sad.
Nobody who sings crap like that should still be alive.
@Steez OnyahMomma YOU did!
Unbearable
Damn I didn't know they both passed away when did this happen can someone tell me please.
Thanks Jamie French for reminding us of this song
I had to look it up after she mentioned it and boooyyyyyy it took me back
@@rachaelhopko2606 I truly had never heard this song, probably bc I was born in '96 but I grew up loving N-SYNC, Britney, Christina and Backstreet Boys so I definitely had to check it out, and it was weird watching knowing two of the three members have passed. What a sad, sad reality we're in. 🥺🥺
I thought “I don’t recognize the same but I feel like I know it” and I do. Think it was cause of the Amanda show
Reason why I’m here lolol
Yes!!! Jamie!!!
Best thing about being quarantined is finding all these hits again! 🔥 🔥🔥🔥
Why the hell do you have to be quarantined to listen to music when it’s everywhere? Someone please tell me how you “lose” music
I very easily still know and listen to just about every song Ive listened to.
RIP Rich Cronin ❤ gosh I played this so much back in the day and tbh that beat still brings me back
2019 and still on this song! brings back so many great memories.. just heard 2 of the band members passed away and it hurts me. I'll keep playing this for their memory!! rest peacefully Devin and Rich!!
"Dad took off when you were four years old" I think thats the most relatable line out of the song
Summer entering Highschool Freshmen year in 1999. Beautiful memories. Thank you for the nostalgia.
Me too. Same year. Sega Dreamcast, MTV, being young, Scream movies etc I feel sad man
Hard to believe it's been 20 years.

Wow, I knew Rich was gone, but I didn't until like 5 minutes ago, that Devin was too. Dude, they were waaaaaay too young man, terribly sad. This song brings back memories of the greatest summer ever, when I was 18 years old.
Damn, did not know this either
@@Exfiltrator I know, sad, huh? Seeing them young and living it up in this video, makes it even more so.
i was 20 in 1999 now i am 40 id trade now for then better times good memories
@@PS-ru2ov Yeah, at least you're not alone in that sentiment. With age, comes responsibility. Still tho, it doesn't mean we can't make great memories at 40 too. 20 is young, but 40 isnt exactly old either.

I’m a huge LFO fan I’m so glad I got to meet them back in 2002 and they autographed my CD. I still play their CDs. I love all the members, Devin is my top favorite.

The lyrics to this might be the dumbest I’ve ever heard, they literally aren’t SAYING anything, they’re just saying a bunch of words and random phrases that have nothing to do with one another.
