worst song from the best band you've never heard of. sorry, can't help myself =) receiving the gift of flavor was just too great for anything else to measure up afterwards.
I'm from STL and I remember hearing about a band named "The Urge" doing shows all the time, but I didn't know any of their music. OR SO I THOUGHT. This song has popped up my head on and off for the last ... 18 years I guess, and today is the first time I tried to find it and listen - I never knew who sang it, but googled "90's jump right in" ... and it's the Urge. Man. I so would have gone to see them if I'd known this was them. I love this song.
Oh man, the Juke Joint. I'm from Springfield and have seen so many shows there. Saw System of a Down open for Incubus before most people had heard of either of 'em
311 is the band that exposed me to the Urge, back in the 90s when 311 was touring for the grassroots album and The Urge was still on Neatguy Records. I ended up following both bands around NY, NJ, PA and Maryland for a few years. Met them all a few times and had a beer with Steve on their bus and played video games with them.
+Tommy Pogue That's awesome, I saw them open for Jimmy Cliff of all people at the Tradewinds in Sea Bright , NJ and spent a lot of time bsing with Bill and we exchanged emails a bunch of times. I saw them in Phoenix where I lived and then we flew to St Louis for their Christmas shows in 2000. I was supposed to go to London to see them when they went on their European Tour earlier in 2000 but the London show was canceled and I never made it :( but one of the coolest bands I've ever met.
I suspect many people don't know that Steve was/is one of the most gifted natural athletes I've ever seen. Quite possibly he could have been the first three-sport professional athlete of our time. Basketball, Football and Baseball. You name it, Steve was faster, jumped higher, hit harder and was better at it than you ever will be.
There’s a video of Steve joining 311 on stage for Fat Chance somewhere on TH-cam. I miss those days when I could just drop everything and drive 5-7 hours to catch a 311 concert. They used to be so wild.
It's a shame these guys didn't get the exposure and fame they deserved because The Urge should've been a much bigger & more successful band than they were
This band is so underrated. They deserve more attention. This is honestly one of the best songs I have heard in the past couple of years. Cant wait to hear more from them. Keep up the great work guys.
I remember the day I first heard it on the radio on my way to work. I was taken by surprise and had no idea what was going. But I knew that voice the second I heard it.
Yoooo, we used to jam this song all of the time when it came out. (The whole album really) I've seen 311 about 40-50 times in my life, and the Urge opened quite a few times. I revisit this song often, but I'd never seen the video. I had no idea Hexum was on the chorus until today.
Steve Ewing & The Urge Are One Of My Favorite Rock & Roll Bands Ever (& Better Than A Lot Of Others In My Opinion) + His Hot Dogs Are The Absolute Best👍👍
I remember the first time i saw these guys. it was an excellent show. The best was the opening act. Didn't have an album out yet but it was coming. OMG!!!! Kottonmouth Kings!!!! Best show I ever saw. Amazing!!! I will never forget that night.
ST LOUIE! Representin sonnn!!! Was always going see these guys at Mississippi Nights back in the 90's! You'd get normally get bounced for crowd surfing but not when The Urge was playing. The singer spent half the show on top of the crowd! Twas AWSEOME!
599, 999 thousand views, because of Nick Hexum-311. This, band made it I dont know why not, but they were just as astute and musical level headed as any other. Urge, miss you guys.
First saw this on 120 Minutes in like 1998. When I went to visit family in rural Kansas near Wichita later that summer did I finally realize how huge they truly were in The Heartland. Midwest gold indeed.
It’s hard to believe that Nick Hexum was once a balding 27 year old. His hair is a little less thin these days lol I love that dude. Still my favorite musician.
It was a weird combination of bands, but they opened up for Deftones and 311 headlined. I went to see the deftones, but these guys were amazing. Asbury park, NJ, but I don't remember what year...It was a crazy show.
ha... summer of 98 or 99.... always loved this song AND nick hexum... 311 was amazing as shh too :) but The Urge... awesome 90s band. reminds me of rollin around in my VW Cabriolet in the summertime.... I got this CD single at a rummage sale like 10 years ago and was so stoked because what are the odds to find this?
This makes me want to time warp back to ‘98, throw on a pair of Jnco or Kikwear pants, 311 tshirt, Airwalk or Etnies shoes, ball chain or some sort of bead necklace, hang out on the grand strand of Myrtle Beach and just chill...........
Living in St. Louis you can still see these guys pop up at bars and other venues. Actually Im not sure if its the original band but the lead singer is a St. Louisan and he still sings a lot
Used to work Jive N Wail and Steve would do a show there every now and then. Was cool as hell to get to talk to him and see him perform! And before I left stl id often stop in at his hot dog store and say hi. Great band!
I heard this song once by seeing the music video late at night on MTV. More than 2 decades later, I decided to search for it. "Jump right in ska" brought me here. Damn. Still fucking great.
It's simply perfect. All elements of this video and song they have stewed to perfection. I don't even know the lyrics but I bet if I did they would only add to the perfection.
All I have to say is Ranch Bowl, Omaha, 1995. Roger the Sound Guy in his awesome sweatpants, R.I.P. You could walk into the snow completely ignorant to the ways of The Urge, but by the time you walked out you were a sweaty mess. Most incredible live show I have ever seen...a dozen times.
the greatest band you've never heard of
Jazz + Hard Rock + Reggae = The Urge
Mun Z great guys as well
STL!
worst song from the best band you've never heard of. sorry, can't help myself =) receiving the gift of flavor was just too great for anything else to measure up afterwards.
Chances are that if you’re listening to this, you are part of the elite that know them. It’s too bad they didn’t have more mainstream success.
All these years later and this song still absolutely rocks
Just a random ‘90s song I haven’t thought about in forever that randomly popped into my head.
‘80s kid, ‘90s teenager. I feel very lucky
Someday, some director is going to put The Urge in a movie soundtrack and they'll blow up with Gen Z.
The Urge will always be a Missouri Treasure.
right im 31 years old and when i was 16 in highschool i use to watch them like every weekend either in the Lou or @ the Juke Joint in Springfield MO

You can keep them.
I actually never knew where they were from, discovered them on an HBO music show called Reverb years ago

+Tommy Pogue Steve is a cool dude. He owns a Hot Dog shop in St. Louis.

Steve's Hotdog's on the Hill in St Louis. Owned by the lead singer in this video. Amazing!
I thought he was a vegetarian?
The background vocals during the chorus are fantastic
thas cus nick nexum from 311 sings in it
Nick puts a Hex on any1 who ... U know
I just wanna wake up in 1997
2024 and these guys still fucking slap
One of my favoritest songs ever. I’m a drummer and trombonist. I can’t believe I forgot about this tune.
Love these guys. One of St. Louis's finest.
Saw them many many times at Mississippi Nights back in the 90s. I actually saw 311 play 2 shows there in Oct 1999.
Mississippi nights was the shit. I saw them and goldfinger too. Man I miss those days
One of my favorite venues!
Now that was a venue
I can't believe that Steve served me a hot dog. A bacon bacon Jamaican. D*** good stuff, Steve, thank you.
Nick Hexum knows what's up
Saw them open up for 311 back in '96 along with The Deftones.
Wow that had to be one helluva show! I'm jealous!
311is good but the deftones that's a whole other world of awesome
Damn!.
Was that in Springfield? If so, I was at the same show!
We're old..... Where does the time go???😧
It's a shame these guys didn't get the exposure and fame they deserved because The Urge should've been a much bigger & more successful band than they were
Britton Thompson my dad was the trombonist and he does not play with them anymore but it is still cool
For sure
@Patrick Whelpley decent mate
@Patrick Whelpley you too mate👊
There a lot like 311, but with a little bit of jazz
This band is so underrated. They deserve more attention. This is honestly one of the best songs I have heard in the past couple of years. Cant wait to hear more from them. Keep up the great work guys.
So Dope, that is definitely NickHexumVEVO on the chorus! I really miss 90s rock sometimes.
I miss 90's music all the time! ;-)
Not even a million views??!! Criminal!!!!!!
I thought the same thing, they were REALLY underrated 😕 thats putting it mildly......
Nick Hexum of 311 is featured in the chorus of this song! UNITY
I remember the day I first heard it on the radio on my way to work. I was taken by surprise and had no idea what was going. But I knew that voice the second I heard it.
@@christina311uss RIGHT? MY MIND WAS BLOWN WHEN I REALIZED IT
I didn't know this! awesome!!
3 concerts. Hung out with them for a bit after one in Carbondale. Good times.
Yoooo, we used to jam this song all of the time when it came out. (The whole album really) I've seen 311 about 40-50 times in my life, and the Urge opened quite a few times. I revisit this song often, but I'd never seen the video. I had no idea Hexum was on the chorus until today.
If you're ever in St Louis, head over to Steve's Hot Dogs. Steve Ewing owns it and is there all the time.... cool place
Steve Ewing & The Urge Are One Of My Favorite Rock & Roll Bands Ever (& Better Than A Lot Of Others In My Opinion) + His Hot Dogs Are The Absolute Best👍👍
me too, i saw them in lille in france maybe 20 yrs ago I MISS THEM SO MUCH
Great song off a overlooked album of 90s..
Like hundreds of others
I remember listening to this song when radio 104.1 used to be a radio station
Hartford?
Nick is so smooth in this chorus.
How about just so smooth, PERIOD!! lol just kidding, he's pretty effin awesome in my book, as are The Urge, and the rest of 311 too, for that matter!
Joe Willard No doubt
2020! Still the shit! 😍😍😍
thumbs up if this video makes you proud to be from St. Louis....
not much does these days
I remember the first time i saw these guys. it was an excellent show. The best was the opening act. Didn't have an album out yet but it was coming. OMG!!!! Kottonmouth Kings!!!! Best show I ever saw. Amazing!!! I will never forget that night.
Master of styles is a bonafide classic
This needs more views.
The energy these guys bring to a performance is legendary!
Saw these guys when they were on the Warped tour. Can't believe how long ago that was. Seems like yesterday. Feeling old now!!
You and me both!! Just the fact that I was in 8th grade when this came out says it all! lol
Michael W. Moore Don't feel old. Feel LUCKY! Dude I am so jealous of you and I'm sure many others are too
Thanks Colin
I like how he recommended a song with a music video with less than a million views despite it being posted over a decade ago lol so niche
ST LOUIE! Representin sonnn!!! Was always going see these guys at Mississippi Nights back in the 90's! You'd get normally get bounced for crowd surfing but not when The Urge was playing. The singer spent half the show on top of the crowd! Twas AWSEOME!

I rember seeing these guys @edgefest in Springfield Missouri in like 97 or 98. The best days of my life
I love this band! Love Steve!!!!
Still listening in florida 20 years later, STL Native
@@CrimsonDeathBed Wes, Orlando love baby. 407 321, we made 311 grassroots in the 90's and funny thing is 311 gives no credit.
these drums sound so good damn
Growing up in KC, I have been stoked every time they play live!
First saw this on 120 Minutes in like 1998. When I went to visit family in rural Kansas near Wichita later that summer did I finally realize how huge they truly were in The Heartland. Midwest gold indeed.
It’s hard to believe that Nick Hexum was once a balding 27 year old. His hair is a little less thin these days lol I love that dude. Still my favorite musician.
This song is pure GOLD!!
I'm gonna watch this...live...TONIGHT! #TheUrge #SixPercent 311! #CrossroadsKC
Steve Ewing used to come play our little venue in Warrensburg. Great guy. Love this music.
one of my all time favorite songs EVER
I love the lyrics behind this song........ any song about f***ing is top notch in my book.
It was a weird combination of bands, but they opened up for Deftones and 311 headlined. I went to see the deftones, but these guys were amazing. Asbury park, NJ, but I don't remember what year...It was a crazy show.
Full circle finally. They will open for 311 in Chicago
No idea how many times I saw these guys and Gravity Kills. So nostalgic tonight. 😂
I miss the late 90's
Here in 2023 cuz this song is stuck in my head a decade later ❤ one of the most underrated songs of all time.
a decade? how about two decades
I listen to the Urge all the time when I skate ❤😎🤗
These guys always put on the BEST LIVE SHOWS I've ever been to. So glad they just reunited. ptmfus!!!!
2021 and still rockin to this band!
Haven't heard or even thought of this song in 15 years and it suddenly popped in my head while making dinner tonight. Good stuff
Sexy Squidward me too, just now. lol
ha... summer of 98 or 99.... always loved this song AND nick hexum... 311 was amazing as shh too :) but The Urge... awesome 90s band. reminds me of rollin around in my VW Cabriolet in the summertime.... I got this CD single at a rummage sale like 10 years ago and was so stoked because what are the odds to find this?
I have always loved this song and it's one of the first songs I added to my spotify playlist Big Ups
Imo? One top50 greatest vids ever
Top5 most overlooked band of 90s. The Urge
I can’t believe I forgot about these guys, saw them in KC waaaay back in the day.
This makes me want to time warp back to ‘98, throw on a pair of Jnco or Kikwear pants, 311 tshirt, Airwalk or Etnies shoes, ball chain or some sort of bead necklace, hang out on the grand strand of Myrtle Beach and just chill...........
Hell yeah. How your comment only got 3 thumbs up beats me. Not many with good tastes these days.
? Kids today still wear exact same shit.
GenX teenagers in early-mid 90s set the standard for cool in pop culture that hasn't changed n 30 yrs
I seen em 10 times between 97-00.
I live in Kansas City tho. They came here least 2-3 times a yr during that period being they were fr St Louis
This video and song continues to float amongst all mainstream music.
Summer 97’ seen them open up for Bloodhound Gang at the Sunset Hall, south side of Ft. Wayne, Indiana. I miss the 90s.
Living in St. Louis you can still see these guys pop up at bars and other venues. Actually Im not sure if its the original band but the lead singer is a St. Louisan and he still sings a lot
Lajon? Took shots with him after he opened for 2SkinneeJs in 97
Love their unique sound.
Was the tune back in the day of real music id say
How many people never knew that was Nick Hexum singing on this track?? The late 90's were the best.
turbo311 they must not pay attention that's his voice..
Literally everyone knew Hexum was on this. It's why it was a hit.
Lol. Not even close to the early 90s.
It’s pretty obvious almost immediately when you listen to it. Hexum has a very distinct vocal style and voice.
the late 90's were without a doubt , the best......always fun to be had.....the BS of today was unheard of back then.
Having Steve’s Hot Dogs from St Louis for dinner! The lead man of this band owns the place. Good stuff!
I saw them play at least 3 times. A great show everytime! Almost got in a fight at one of them in St Luois too. Lol
One of the best
Rocked the urge shirt in 1999, criminally underrated
Reminds me of crazy eyes from orange is the new black lol. The urge has always been awesome though 👍🏻
It must have been fun shooting this video.
O never knew Nick was on this song... I always listened and thought it would be cool to have him there...
Used to work Jive N Wail and Steve would do a show there every now and then. Was cool as hell to get to talk to him and see him perform! And before I left stl id often stop in at his hot dog store and say hi. Great band!
I love this song! I am glad I saw this live in 1998 at Dayton's X Fest.
Saw these dudes open for 2 Skinnee Js. My first show 14yrs old at the Boathouse in Norfolk, Va
im a young guy 17 and i wish i could have heard these guys back at their peak
I heard this song once by seeing the music video late at night on MTV. More than 2 decades later, I decided to search for it. "Jump right in ska" brought me here. Damn. Still fucking great.
I first saw this on 120 Minutes around 97 or 98. The Good ol days!
One of the countless 90s bands overlooked
Love u guys ! I miss you opening for 311 , some of the best times ever !!!
I can’t believe this is the first time I am seeing this video. I have been searching for it for about the past 20 years.
Makes me happy that I am from St. louis. Good music
The Lou represent!
Sux there
great 90s song
Happy BDay Jen Sadler!
Thank you baby! 😘
90's Hexum always makes me smile.
i remember listening to this and playing Mass effect 2...good times...miss em....thank for the nostalgia!
I miss this band.
Still listen to these guys! One of the best live bands ever!
Just rediscovered this tune so good...
It's simply perfect.
All elements of this video and song they have stewed to perfection.
I don't even know the lyrics but I bet if I did they would only add to the perfection.
We went to every Urge show that we could go to in Springfield. Got this song in my head out of the blue today. Go inside and get my pickle!
All I have to say is Ranch Bowl, Omaha, 1995. Roger the Sound Guy in his awesome sweatpants, R.I.P. You could walk into the snow completely ignorant to the ways of The Urge, but by the time you walked out you were a sweaty mess. Most incredible live show I have ever seen...a dozen times.
Love This group
I love this song!!!
one of my favorite songs of all time, damn this song brings back some GREAT memories!
me too! Can't wait...only 3 days now!!
