This one came out around my junior or senior year in high school. Even though it wasn't the style I was into at the time, this song was an instant favorite from the first time I heard it. It has stuck with me ever since and is one the best songs of the 90s for me. It is a never skip track.
I remember having my two little ones, 5 and 6 years old in the backseat of the car listening to this song. Both of them trying to do the " oooaaaahaaahahoo at the top of their lungs. I got a little emotional watching this because my little boy is now gone.
Thank you Christopher. Oddly enough about 2 years ago I rediscovered this song after approximately 4 years of randomly trying to find this song through internet searches. I drove my wife and kids crazy talking about the song from the 90s that I remembered loving but couldn't remember anything about it. It randomly played on a 90s playlist one day and I about lost my $h*t. Great record!
I saw "In the Meantime" in the thumbnail and wondered how Helmet had made it onto the reaction radar. Pushed play...oh, the other 90's "In the Meantime".
Damn, you jumped right into the deep end without ever swimming before! Respect, my friend! ;) As a fellow Bassist, I adore this bass line too, but it's beyond my skill even now to consistently nail it, and try to sing too... lol!
I always took the ending to this video as an attempt to continue a theme from the ending of the video for Faith No More's "Epic" (which at that point was fairly recent).
Excellent analysis and commentary: thank you. I bought this album (CD) when it was released, and still love it. Crunch guitar, punky lyrics embracing alternative lifestyles, and a very memorable bass line. Yes, please: I'd like some more.
Not heard them before, probably not on my radar at the time, boy what a Bass line, reminds me of Geddy Lee, Ricky bass too, they’re instantly noticeable! Putting this on my Spotify playlist, and investigating them further, thanks for this Lolli, you’re a sweetheart 🌹
So I got the thought watching this that "oh, these guys have to be Brits," so I looked up the band. I read "Spacehog was a band formed in New York City in 1994" and think "oh, they're Americans." Then I see the next bit of the sentence that reads "by four Englishmen." I just gave up and gave a deadpan 4th wall break stare into a non-existent camera.
Way back when, back when I was young and living my former life, I worked night shift. My partner and I would go to the office at the end of shift to finish papers and take a breath, and turn on VH1 (when they played music). This is one of the songs that was on rotation. But, the best was, we’d get off at 6am. Days would get on at 6 but may not go back to the office. They’d turn on the TV expecting to hear the news but get hit with stuff like this at full volume. Good morning, enjoy your day and see ya in 12 hours. Cheers!
Few songs make me this happy during a tough time. My cousin and I found their album in a thrift store in the 90s, never heard of them, but bought it for a buck and ending up listening to it all the time in his van while driving around town. We would usually do an extra lap around the neighborhood to listen to the song one more time before we went home.
As a drummer I love watching musicians with other instrument specializations analyze music to see where we overlap and where we differ on our perspectives. I didn't think I would ever appreciate someone approaching the vocal perspective the same way, but you proved me wrong. I quite enjoyed it. You got a new sub out of it. And the fact that the lead singer is able to manage that incredible bass part along with those vocals is absolutely brilliant.
Your impression of Dramatic Voice Singing just killed me. Brilliant. That said, "One of These Days" is still my favorite Spacehog track, even though this one justifiably gets a ton of airplay by comparison.
This is by far my favorite reaction to this song yet! One of my absolute favorites from my childhool, maybe one of the first songs that got me thinking about wanting to do music, outside of the obligatory school band obligations lol.
@thefairyvoicemother First time seeing your content, I subbed immediately. Fun video, good analysis, you love a lot of the same things about this song I do.
🩸 : useless tidbit - to the other commentator , is was Liv Tyler. Yes ... the daughter of Steven Tyler of Aerosmith .. dated the singer of Spacehog ! .. .... I like the pleased look on your face Miss Lolli. This song , and this band had a great vibe. I remember blasting this in the 90s and attempting to remember the lyrics. Keep bringing the joy of music Princepessa 🩸🔥🩸
Will some on mo ve thi s rock from this 70 year old man from Australia 🇦🇺 thank you my fav react Fairy God mother love the way you are able to mimic the voice ❤ 💙 much love ❤
You need to get explore more Spacehog. This is the far from their best song. All of their albums are good ones you can listen from beginning to end without wanting to skip any songs.
No else brought up the DTMF tones that are played throughout the song 10:15 . It was catchy back in the day of push button phones and going online. For a nerd anyway.
One of my top 3 nineties band. I need to sponsor "Starside" or "Shipwrecked" for starters, if you can have time. Thanks so much for responding to this song, btw.
As a civilian, to me it's about the illusion of abandon. How well-crafted it is. Which is what you're saying, but your take is waaaaaay more interesting. Cool. 👍👍👍 (My mind's ears are tuned to seek out syncopation; that ruffled edge, that wabi sabi, or whatever.)
It is a very sexy song. Deserves a spot somewhere in-between stuff like "Stir It Up" and stuff like "Wonderful Tonight." Well, no. That doesn't make any sense. I don't know. There's a coherent thought in here somewhere, trying desperately to escape, but he has lost his struggle. 🍻
I am a bass player and also a bass singer... who cannot do both at once. Playing bass and singing simultaneously - especially a bassline this intricate - is extremely difficult.
I had friend back in college who said that Spacehog should be the next big thing. We all laughed him off, after all he liked Psychic TV. We were right, but for the wrong reasons. Now I'm a fan of both bands and I hate the Corporate Shuffle that kept them from reaching a wider audience.

One of the sickest basslines of the 90's! This is a classic.
I've been teaching myself to play this song on bass, and it's just so much fun.
I don't have the fancypants Rickenbacker though 😊
This is what happens when the songwriter plays bass.
Playing it and singing over it at the same time is crazy..
Still listen too everyday ❤one of those songs never tired of listening too 😊❤
Right? Bassline is superb!
Her smile while hearing this for the first time confirms my feelings of this song the whole time

god how 90s bands always put a smile on my face
Spacehog! Yes!
Hooray! Thank you for analyzing the song. That was everything I had hoped for when I requested it. Great work by the whole team!
I played in a cover band for years and this tune always blew the socks off the bar. Nice to sing backing vocals too.
Have always loved this song. An amazing bassist/vocalist.
Definitely one of my favorite songs from the 90s.
Nothing growls like a Rickenbacker.
Well maybe an angry Doberman, but that's it.
That's an excellent song and it's one of my favorites from that year... it reminds me of my school years.
Oh, right into my 90's nostalgia! Haven't heard this one in ages.
Not sure how this band completely passed me by, but I'd never heard of them before this . . . I'll be watching out for more, they're excellent!
I saw "In the Meantime" in the thumbnail and wondered how Helmet had made it onto the reaction radar. Pushed play...oh, the other 90's "In the Meantime".
They are both bangers!!
Fond memories. I was in South America when this came out and it was playing EVERYWHERE, then I went to the US and you'd only hear it rarely.
Brings me back to High School
That intro vocal gives me chills! I wish they brought it back at the end once more.
The first bassline I ever learned to play.
Damn, you jumped right into the deep end without ever swimming before!
Respect, my friend! ;)
As a fellow Bassist, I adore this bass line too, but it's beyond my skill even now to consistently nail it, and try to sing too... lol!
26 years of playing and it's still a workout to pull it off. Especially the bridge.
@@PorkinsI'm both sad & happy that you struggle with it, same as me! LOL
I always took the ending to this video as an attempt to continue a theme from the ending of the video for Faith No More's "Epic" (which at that point was fairly recent).
This song was such an explosive out-of-the-gate hit for them. That intro bassline totally did it. The album also kicked butt.
Oh yea forgot about these guys. What a travel back in time to the 90's watching much music (canadian mtv) and this song coming on.
The bass lines are incredible
Excellent analysis and commentary: thank you. I bought this album (CD) when it was released, and still love it. Crunch guitar, punky lyrics embracing alternative lifestyles, and a very memorable bass line. Yes, please: I'd like some more.

This song featured prominently in one of the Guardians of the Galaxy movies, the last one, I think.
One of my favorite "one hit wonders"
Being older I think missed out on the 90's, great stuff learning all the time 👍
So I got the thought watching this that "oh, these guys have to be Brits," so I looked up the band. I read "Spacehog was a band formed in New York City in 1994" and think "oh, they're Americans." Then I see the next bit of the sentence that reads "by four Englishmen." I just gave up and gave a deadpan 4th wall break stare into a non-existent camera.
This and the bee song, that was the era. Love it.
Ooh I love this!!! My kind of track and I’d never come across this before!!
An essential 90s 1-hit wonder tune. Imagine writing a song this great once in your life.
This was recorded live in studio, with keyboards and effects added in,, sorta upping the difficulty for the singer/bassist.
Very nice, gorgeous Fairy

The sample that runs all the way through is from Telephone and Rubber Band by the Penguin Cafe Orchestra (albeit in a different key)

love the piano outro..!!🙂 always reminds me of the crue ending a rock song with the delicate keys playing!😊
Great. I'm convinced this women knows what she is talking about
So happy I found you had a "More" channel. The "rounding" was GLORIOUS!
Thanks for this HIS tamber sounds very familiar probably heard it before , But a unique sound.
This is by far my favorite reaction to this song yet! One of my absolute favorites from my childhool, maybe one of the first songs that got me thinking about wanting to do music, outside of the obligatory school band obligations lol.
Just learned this on the drums. One hell of a tune.
I've heard this song, but never realized it was by Spacehog. This reminds me of so many other songs, but I mean that in a good way.

You should react to their song "I want to live".
One of my top 3 nineties band. I need to sponsor "Starside" or "Shipwrecked" for starters, if you can have time. Thanks so much for responding to this song, btw.
I think the intro is the sound of an engaged phone looped.
They should have been huge, but many things stood in their way.
I don't think even Mick Jagger could open his mouth that much and I agree, using his mouth like that does so much for the song.

This song brings up some memories for sure. Odd that I remember the song perfectly but not the video at all.
Singing bass players seem to have such a different way of playing, sometimes.
I am a bass player and also a bass singer... who cannot do both at once. Playing bass and singing simultaneously - especially a bassline this intricate - is extremely difficult.
@@johndeeregreen4592 As a bass player myself, I agree 111%
Bass player reminds me a bit of Geddy Lee, Bass + singing, Ricky bass (even though his main basses were Fender he did use Rickys!)!
How do we nominate reactions
Try Anna's Song by Silverchair
Sounds like a mix of Bowie and Matt Johnson
💖🧚💖
When this was popular, the singer/bassist dated either Liv Tyler or Alicia Silverstone, can't remember which one though.
Clever and pretty.
Happiness 06:42
Sounds very Brit pop, realised they are brits basees in US enjoyed it and the reaction
I always thought this was a bit of a homage/pastiche of David Bowie's style.
That’s the actress Liv Tyler’s husband

They should have been so much bigger than they were. So many mediocre bands in the 90s who made it.
I don't get how all these vocal coaches supposedly never heard of so many famous songs. I mean, how could you go through life without hearing this?
Also the guitar in the last chorus has a country essk tone on top.
