This morning while driving I had a very unpleasant flashback thanks to a local DJ. Of all of the songs that he could have played he chose “What’s Going On?” by the 4 Non-Blondes.
This was not a good song that got old, this was a bad song that got worse. It begins with the listener being lured in by the power of the lead singers voice and then the trap snaps shut behind you and you’re unable to escape. Fuck! Let me out! But like a victim in a horror movie there’s no escape unless you were the one cast to survive. Most of us weren’t. The horror grew words when it became a hit song. Why couldn’t I have been one of the people to die early?
As a big fan of classic rock this song doesn’t qualify to be played on a rock station. It’s not classic rock, nor classic punk, it’s not even classic grunge or alternative, (whatever that means) this song is classic shit performed by four hideously ugly women, one of women I realized upon suffering through the video years ago is a man. (Good job getting neutered there slick.) The band itself broke up a year after the song was released doing all of us a gigantic favor. Gone and with luck and a lot of alcohol soon completely forgotten. As for the DJ who steered me down memory lane and into nightmare alley, fuck you. I don’t know what you get for doing shit like this but you should get life.
I love that song! ❤️ It puts me in a good mood. A great song to karaoke to! 🎤
