First time I heard this song was driving to work with my sister, back in the 90's when this song came out. I fell in love with it and the whole album. Darren Hayes has such a smooth voice. Note of trivia: He was an English teacher. The name of the band is a literary reference. They are from Australia.
Love hearing when others are Anne Rice fans! Was wondering about their name since I was deep into the vampire chronicles at the time. So glad I was right!!
"Using symbols, using words can be likened to a deep-sea diver who is swimming with a raincoat" - some of the best lyrics ever written, in my humble opinion.
They started here in Woodridge southside of Brisbane Queensland Australia. I used to go to the cd/record shop they worked at before they broke into the music scene. Love their music.
Actually got to hear this whole album before it hit the airwaves and fell in love with Savage Garden immediately. A little town in Wyoming and we had it on our jukebox before anyone had heard of them.
@@lynw1623 Sounds good, Lyn W. LOL I definitely NOT that American you speak of. (And personally, right now I am half ashamed to admit to anyone that I am American!) I'm 65 now and that is the first time in my life I've had to say that. As to Savage Garden, when that song came out I had yet to even have internet or a computer, so when a stranger walked into the bar with something we had never heard, and then gifted us his CD, we were just so excited to get it on the jukebox and play the crap out of it!
My introduction to this group was in 1998 at my mom's wedding reception. Her first dance was to Truly Madly Deeply. I'd like to thank Jojo's bizarre adventure part 4 for bringing this song to my attention.
My son was around 8ish years old. He was all about the Spice Girls and Savage Garden. I love this song! This was when my kids were small; we were soooo happy! I also remember hearing this at our local amusement park at The Music Express. That was a ride that went fast, up and down and at an angle with looouud music!
Went in to a record store in Woodridge one day years ago, just browsing. This young fellow who worked there came up to me and suggested a CD by The Neville Brothers. I bought it, great album. The young man who served me, Darren Hayes.
Darren Hayes has even admitted that he was ahead of his time when he wrote this album and that he actually said he was rapping but he didn't realize it at the time.
I remember when the song jumped to number one. Jumped all of them. Don't Speak by No Doubt Semi-charmed life by Third Eye Blind Hanson MMMBop How Bizarre
I loved savage garden as a kid, they were so popular on the radio as a kid & was quite a fan of Darren Hayes' solo career as well with hits like 'Insatiable'. Review 'I knew I loved you' by them.
A real blast from the past! This was a compromise group between my husband and myself. He was into Nirvana and I like James Taylor lol! We both liked Savage Garden!!!
Hey MRM. I've just subscribed to your channel, mainly for your reactions to Savage Garden and John Farnham. I'm Aussie and grew up listening to these musicians (they are two of my favourites actually!) so I really appreciate you voicing your thoughts and giving audiences outside Australia more exposure to them. Thank you for also waiting to the end of the video to comment. I notice that several reactors talk through songs and sometimes miss key bits.
I'm from Alabama. A friend and I was in Texas when this came out. We were in hot pursuit of a couple of lovely young ladies we had met at an event back home. Long story short. It turned out to be quite the adventure. Our housing arrangements fell through, so we ended up sleeping in my 81 Buick Regal for 3 weeks, while trying to find jobs. Ended up having to come back home. Anyway. That's what this song reminds me of. Waterfalls by TLC is another one that reminds me of that time in my life.
I never usually listen to that kind of thing but Savage Garden were the exception. They had...something. Possibly his voice. Their next album, Affirmation, was fantastic, really beautiful. One of those very rare albums with no filler tunes. Great lyricists.
There is an original song written by a contestant on the voice years ago. It's an amazing song!! Please check it out. The artist is Taylor John Williams and the song "Song of a Dead Man".
Another great savage garden song... summer this came out I was draggin my kids and their buddies to the pool to hang out most everyday, such great memories....♡
Love Savage Garden❤ If you listen to the words this is a rather sexual song. "Any time I need to see your face I just close my eyes and I am taken a place where your ceysyal eyes and magenta face take up shelter in the base of my spine sweet like a chicka cherry cola." "Like a human cannon ball and I need to I want to." Had this cd as a teen. Best song of theirs. "Affirmation"
it took me a while to get the title of the song, cause all I remembered was "Cherry Cola" so I would call it the "Cherry Cola" song, and the funny thing was everyone knew what I was talking about!
True upbeat fun song, (without video) has some great depth, from it's time & still fun to listen to now... love to have you do their song "I Knew I Loved You"... don't post much but do watch you lots, thanks for some great fun, experiencing & learning... :)
Knowing the difference between what you want and what you need is a very important skill to have. I forgot how much I liked this song. Thanks to the requestee or the bingo ball, as the case may be. :)
If you think that was fast, listen to the live version of it. Also SG had amazing songs but their masterpiece is To The Moon And Back. One of the greatest songs ever written, i guarantee you 've never heard anything alike.
I was on my first year of college when this song came out in '97. My then-girlfriend loved but, like it seemed with a lot of people, she didn't know the title. She just referred to it as that Chic a Cherry Cola song. I heard that from more people that just her. In fact, a Google search brings up tons of entries referring to this song as the Chic a Cherry Cola song. It definitely felt very different than anything else that was on the radio at the time which seemed to be dominated by R&B. There's nothing wrong with those songs at all, but this just felt completely different at the time.
I love this song, if you didn't realize it you reacted to one of their other songs just a short time ago (Truly Madly Deeply), this song was their first "big" hit, at least here in the states and it was quite different compared to most of their other hits that went for more of a ballad/lovesong, it's much more of a pop song and it's damn catchy too. This takes me right back to 8th grade or so when it came out back in the 90s, I remember the teacher would let a group of us watch MTV shortly before the day was out and this was one of those songs that I remember coming on and getting stuck right in your head when it did, especially the "Cherry Cola" part of the song. Heck a lot of my friends referred to it as the "Cherry Cola" song because they didn't remember the actual name of it lol.
Loved this song from the first time I heard it .. love all their songs actually.. my fav is ‘To The Moon and Back’ followed by ‘I Knew I Loved You’ .. love ur reactions :)
Could you react to: love and rockets-so alive. Jessie James Dupree-rev it up and go go. The sex slaves- Thank you lord for jack Daniels. The doors- light my fire. Skillet- stars. Skillet- lions. Canned heat- let’s work together. Dr hook- cover of the rolling stone.
Nice! They had some really cool songs. Since that was a not-so-old Aussie band/song, maybe you could try a much older one like, say, The Easybeats Friday on my Mind (1966) or Ted Mulry Gang (TMG) Darktown Strutters Ball (1976).
I would love it if you would react to, Warren Haynes "Rivers Gonna Rise" Guitar Center's King of the Blues 2011. I think you would enjoy it to. Warren Haynes is a master on the guitar, and a great singer also.
I was looking for this song and you popped into my screen...IT was a hit in my country...Greetings from Colombia south America...
They've performed this on the 1997 Kids Choice Awards Mainstage hosted by Rosie O'Donnell
Savage garden-I knew I loved you
Yes he was definitely flowing

If you know all the lyrics to this song consider yourself a level 42 warrior.
I remembered more than I thought I would. You just find that groove real quick again!
Yeah I know this front to back. Whole album is pretty decent. Some of the tracks sound like MJ is singing. Dude has a good voice.
@@ClickToPreview the lead singer was looking like Michael Hutchence from INXS another under rated group IMO.
Consider me a warrior!
i have pgm so yes all good
Iconic 90s sound right here.
💜💜💜💜 amazing tongue-twister. SG defines my childhood.
Love Savage Garden!
They started here in Woodridge southside of Brisbane Queensland Australia. I used to go to the cd/record shop they worked at before they broke into the music scene. Love their music.
Lol... I'm 60 years old. When I play this song it's always blasting.
Savage Garden was big when I was in college , I remember jamming to this on my Walkman ..still love it😊
'Ooh I want you, don't know if I need you, ooh I gotta find out ' badass line.
So this came out right after grunge and it was happy after all the grunge finally something that was happy!!! LOVED this song wait, I STILL do!!!
Check out the lyrics for real! Like I’m drinking Cherry Cola. Like a deep sea diver swimming w a rain coat...hahahaha
He was happy rappin
Actually got to hear this whole album before it hit the airwaves and fell in love with Savage Garden immediately. A little town in Wyoming and we had it on our jukebox before anyone had heard of them.

@@lynw1623 Amen Sister!
Love all of Savage Garden songs!!
yes every single one is great
Ah, nostalgia. Took me right back to high school. I can't believe I remembered all the words.
Same!!

I once lived in Woodridge and knew that record store.
Darren Hayes has even admitted that he was ahead of his time when he wrote this album and that he actually said he was rapping but he didn't realize it at the time.
He was flowing. When you get a chance -Live "Lightening Crashes"
Selling the Drama!
I forgot this song existed and I was thinking if this was the same "Madly Deeply" song guy... It is! What a trip! :)
Savage garden - two beds and a coffee machine
I heard this song for the first time in a department store maybe 15 years ago, and it's been my favorite song ever since ❤
I remember when the song jumped to number one. Jumped all of them.
Don't Speak by No Doubt
Semi-charmed life by Third Eye Blind
Hanson MMMBop
How Bizarre
omg yes third eye blind!!! alternative music was great in the late 90s! semi charmed life - another rap-like alternative song
I loved savage garden as a kid, they were so popular on the radio as a kid & was quite a fan of Darren Hayes' solo career as well with hits like 'Insatiable'. Review 'I knew I loved you' by them.
A real blast from the past! This was a compromise group between my husband and myself. He was into Nirvana and I like James Taylor lol! We both liked Savage Garden!!!
Whether it's flowing or rapping, it was beautiful. I like this band, though they're new to me. What a smooth tenor voice that guy has.

To the moon and back and break me, shake me!
To the moon and back 😍
Yeeees😍

Yay the Australian boys xx, Darren and Daniel grew up just up the road from me here in Brisbane
AC/DC may have put Australian Music on the map but Savage Garden took it to a whole new level.
I fell in love even more with Savage Garden when I found out how they got their name.
He was my nephews neighbor. My nephew was a drummer. He played drums for white stripes wife band
was never really a fav at the time but truly love em now. brilliant I reckon
I never usually listen to that kind of thing but Savage Garden were the exception. They had...something. Possibly his voice. Their next album, Affirmation, was fantastic, really beautiful. One of those very rare albums with no filler tunes. Great lyricists.
Had no idea this was their song. First time I saw the video and I kept thinking he was fixing to get his eyes examined. Loved the “flow”
This is such a roller rink song.
Rosie O'Donnell really liked this song and was promoting the band on her show.
That song is on my iPod. Very good, vibrant, lively song.
In high school in the late 90s I was bound and determined to learn all the words. I did and was singing along to your video.
There is an original song written by a contestant on the voice years ago. It's an amazing song!! Please check it out. The artist is Taylor John Williams and the song "Song of a Dead Man".
Another great savage garden song... summer this came out I was draggin my kids and their buddies to the pool to hang out most everyday, such great memories....♡
All of their songs were great.
Tears of Pearls is their finest moment
Love it! Definitely do more Savage Garden!
Truely Madly Deeply by Savage Garden- best song of theirs in my opinion
Love Savage Garden❤ If you listen to the words this is a rather sexual song. "Any time I need to see your face I just close my eyes and I am taken a place where your ceysyal eyes and magenta face take up shelter in the base of my spine sweet like a chicka cherry cola." "Like a human cannon ball and I need to I want to." Had this cd as a teen. Best song of theirs. "Affirmation"
Love this song. Could you please react to Savage Garden's "Crash and Burn"
I love savage garden!
I remember dancing around my room getting ready to go out for ladies night, because I KNEW they would play this, and it would hype me up😂😂😂
it took me a while to get the title of the song, cause all I remembered was "Cherry Cola" so I would call it the "Cherry Cola" song, and the funny thing was everyone knew what I was talking about!
Some of the best synth dance pop out there, I wore this CD out and still listen to it to this day! All the way through! Love love!
The animal song, a another catchy song from Savage Garden! 🙂
Check out Savage Garden’s Crash and Burn
You need to react to 'To The Moon and Back'. It's a genuinely brilliant song.
This song is so cool...love this one
Im so glad that this song is used as ending for the anime JoJo
Goodness! Haven't heard that in forever--still love it! Thanks!
Their best song is to the moon and back
my favorite Savage Garden song is 'Affirmation'.................
To the moon and back is another good one by savage garden
One of those songs that remind me of what was on the radio as a kid
Love your intro I have alwaysveen obsessed with Savage Garden
Australia strikes Again!(even if they're Bannana Benders).Savage Garden,,Silverchair ,Jet ,The Presets,Hill Top Hoods ,different bands
True upbeat fun song, (without video) has some great depth, from it's time & still fun to listen to now... love to have you do their song "I Knew I Loved You"... don't post much but do watch you lots, thanks for some great fun, experiencing & learning... :)
Excellent review.
Knowing the difference between what you want and what you need is a very important skill to have. I forgot how much I liked this song. Thanks to the requestee or the bingo ball, as the case may be. :)
I must have played listened to this album more than a few times while playing the PS1 because this song instantly made me think of PS1 demo discs.
You did another song of theirs not to long ago where you said his voice sounded like Smoky Robinson.
If you think that was fast, listen to the live version of it. Also SG had amazing songs but their masterpiece is To The Moon And Back. One of the greatest songs ever written, i guarantee you 've never heard anything alike.

It definitely felt very different than anything else that was on the radio at the time which seemed to be dominated by R&B. There's nothing wrong with those songs at all, but this just felt completely different at the time.
I totaly forgot how good the song is!
I had hoped MRM would listen to this song. Great work. Great song.
I thought I heard josuke in the airways
This song was in coke commercials lol
I love this song, if you didn't realize it you reacted to one of their other songs just a short time ago (Truly Madly Deeply), this song was their first "big" hit, at least here in the states and it was quite different compared to most of their other hits that went for more of a ballad/lovesong, it's much more of a pop song and it's damn catchy too.

First time I'm hearing this song by them. I think they rock just haven't heard this song before
Was there 1st song ever released in 1996. Love them
maybe you could react to his solo stuff, like Insatiable
Bare Naked Ladies are fast talkers too.
Chwck out Life is a Rock (But the Radio Rolled Me) by Reunion for very early "rap". You will dig it!
I just got to part 4 of JoJo. This song played as the outro
Loved this song from the first time I heard it .. love all their songs actually.. my fav is ‘To The Moon and Back’ followed by ‘I Knew I Loved You’ .. love ur reactions :)
To the Moon and Back is highly underrated.
Ed Jones mentions Level 42, try Hot Water by Level 42...
5:51 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Again, Darren Hayes is amazing.... Watch their concert live!! Too bad they are no longer a band!!
Could you react to: love and rockets-so alive.
Jessie James Dupree-rev it up and go go.
The sex slaves- Thank you lord for jack Daniels.
The doors- light my fire.
Skillet- stars.
Skillet- lions.
Canned heat- let’s work together.
Dr hook- cover of the rolling stone.
A bit out of left field ....Chris de Burgh "A Spaceman Came Travelling "
Chris Young, "getting you home"
You should try savage garden's "Truly Madly Deeply" and " I knew I loved you" they are so good..even better than this one!!!
Ty reacted to Truly Madly Deeply about a month ago.
@@TheZodiacz Must have missed that one!
Darren always had a thing for singing fast and he does it effortlessly. Check out All Around Me or the more serious one Unlovable
Nice! They had some really cool songs. Since that was a not-so-old Aussie band/song, maybe you could try a much older one like, say, The Easybeats Friday on my Mind (1966) or Ted Mulry Gang (TMG) Darktown Strutters Ball (1976).
Thanks, never heard this song before (sounds from 80's {good thing}) Like the video also.
I think it was 98 or 99
I would love it if you would react to, Warren Haynes "Rivers Gonna Rise" Guitar Center's King of the Blues 2011. I think you would enjoy it to. Warren Haynes is a master on the guitar, and a great singer also.
and now for the JoJokes to flood in
