@@SkywalkerExpress No. I found it annoying from the first time I heard it. The musical choices are strange. The sudden jumps from an even tone to a sky high shriek to an ultra low vocal dip are painful to listen to, but I guess not for everyone. The 'ooh ooh ooooh ooh' annoys me too, and also the slow tempo. 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' is a song that was good at the time but I can't listen to anymore because it's overused, but this song I've hated forever.

Was at a time in my life of being an addicted to Heroin and a very low , low point in my life, in and out of jail, but now almost 45 and drug free for over 20+ years, the song speaks to me in a way now that I should never explore that point in time ever again!

Linda Perry is not only an incredible singer and musician, she is also a highly skilled and sought after producer, and a talented, prolific song writer. She has written many other top ten hit songs for other artists. After 4 Non Blondes broke up, Linda had a rough time for a while, but after meeting, falling in love with, and marrying, Sara Gilbert (of The Rosanne Show fame), Linda managed to straighten her life around to become the music legend she is today, instead of just a one hit wonder band.

Iconic for _my_ early 90's life. As was Jamiroquai Too Young To Die, No Doubt 'Don't Speak', Shaggy 'Oh Carolina', Shabba Ranks 'Mr Loverman', Jade 'Don't Walk Away', Arrested Development 'Tennessee', Sunshine Superman by Donovan, ANYTHING by Lenny Kravitz... and of course, George as always. The memories...

I was 26 when this song came out and I loved it! I learned to play it on guitar and one night when my shift was over as a cocktail waitress and the band had finished, I asked if I could use their guitar and sing. I had written a song and wanted to hear what it sounded like on a sound system. One by one the band came back to the stage and joined me (they were really good to follow me, but they were simple chords). Everyone wanted me to sing another song, so I sang What's Up with the band, too. The few people left in the bar broke out into applause and it felt so good! This song always takes me back to that night. By the way, at the time, her style was really revolutionary unless you lived in Seattle.

Thank you. You are one of the few reactors who listen to the music, and doesn’t keep talking over it, Or pausing it. I was able to enjoy one of my favourite tracks from beginning to end in your company. I’ve only discovered your channel today, glad I have. I have subscribed and am now looking to see what else you’ve listened to. If you have time, I’d love to see you react to Eva Cassidy ‘Songbird’… one of the most beautiful songs sung by one of the most beautiful voices. It seems that one has passed most reactors by. Thank you again.

A powerful, commanding voice, there's nothing quite like it. I was in college when this song came out in 1993 and used to hear it on 106.7 KROQ here in So Cal when driving home from night classes. Linda Perry reached musical immortality with this song, it defines her career. So what if it was the only hit that 4 Non-Blondes ever had, they hit a home run with this one. I recommend Jane Wiedlin "Rush Hour" (1988).

I was 14 or 15 when this came out and it was everywhere. I was in a strict household that I felt bound to by a much younger sibling who needed me, and when I was thinking about being freer by being out of the home, this came to mind. Karaoke staple.

Listened to this all the time in the 90s. Still love it.

ALWAYS loved this song. Had a crush on Linda Perry (lead), and she has a beautiful voice. Takes me back. Man, I miss the 80s and early 90s. bless you brother.

Yep! That part of the song you described is absolutely my favorite part, too! But also, yes I'm singing the chorus like I'm the only one on earth when I hear it. 😄

I've always loved this song. Linda Perry's voice is powerful and this song is amazingly written. I know every bit of this song and sing along every time its on. The song was released in 1993. I was in my twenties when this song was released and I was trying to figure out some life stuff just like she was in the song so I could really relate.

This is really fun to play on guitar!!! I have a video of my last band covering this live on my channel.

I have memories of listening to this while twirling around on a ride at the county fair when I was 10. Great song.

this song was a great song all the way around, very well constructed and executed as well as fun to listen to and play. When i was in a heavy metal band I used to play this song in jam sessions. I was and am one of those bass players that loved one type of music but enjoyed playing all types and the tuesday jam sessions we had were open jams and some were epic with songs like this. Heck we even had Darius Rucker from Hootie and the Blowfish join in from time to time to bounce new song ideas with us.

I've stepped outside n belted out "what's goin on" more than once :)

I LOVE this song. Her vocals are so powerful! Definitely one of my favorite songs of the 90's.

You are one.of my favorite reactions KZreadr....keep up the good work!

A complete blast from my past! Linda Perry is a woman that completely rocked the 90s. Honestly, I still listen to their album at least 3 times a week...now! Thank you for your reaction. "Morphine & Chocolate" is another song of theirs with awesome vocals.

I was in my late teens when this came out. It was during at time when I decided not to ride the public bus to high school every day and walked with my friends instead. It was a half an hour walk at least but it was never boring! Mostly because we usually sang at the top of our lungs the whole way lol. This was a favorite to sing XD

She's got pipes.

I loved this song. Back in 1993 every morning I would go to the beach in Ocean City, Nj. and as I would sit and on the beach enjoying the view of the waves crashing, the seagulls as the glided over the coastline and the skyline get brighter and change colors as the sun rose over the horizon this song would come on the radio. This song brings me back to that special place and time.

Oh wow, I love this song. It takes me right back to a troubled time in my life. I was 15 years old, my older brother had just been murdered and it put me into a downward spiral of being rebellious, running away, being mad at the world, etc. This song was popular at the time and whenever I hear it I remember what me and my family went through and how long the grieving process took. It's still not over, but with time we've gotten through it.

my preteen grunge years. it came out when i was around 10-11 and i loved it so much. it will never ever leave my playlist.

I had this album and it was actually really good. I played it to death. Fabulous 90s for me. So many amazing memories.

A friend introduced me to this in college back in the '90s. Been on my playlist since.

so this came out summer 1993, going into senior year of high school. a friend loved it so much she used a lyric of it as her senior quote.

This song come out after I had graduated and the music started to change, I’m one of those that had a hard time with the change of the music but this song was one that I really liked.

Ive heard this song a lot in my teens and 20s but I never really paid attention to it. It randomly came up on my phone as I washing dishes and I was all, okay Ill listen to it. I was like, oh, NOW I get it. Now I get why people love this song and her voice. My favorite part is her pitch change at the last round of the chorus. Love that part.

The lead singer is married to Sara Gilbert, actress in Rosanne, The Big Bang Theory and is on the show The Talk. Anyway, this song was one of my 1990s theme songs.

"Hey yea, yea yea yea yea yeah! what's goin on?" I love this part

YES! "heyyeyey" at the top of our lungs! Man, this came out while I was I employed at my first full-time job after highschool-a desk job in a call center at a bank... A bit annoyed that I had to wear stockings every day (can't stand the things), hair and makeup had to be perfect and I could never get my hair perfect....and no amount of Aqua Net or Rave would hold it (seemed to for everyone else I knew 😂). I was so self-conscious and afraid of others' opinions of me, going off into the adult working world. This was my f..k it song. 😊

Glad you found this one! I'm almost sixty, and this is one of my favorite pop songs from the last couple of decades.

I spent a lot of quarters playing this song on the jukebox at a bar I went to back in the 90"s. One of my favorites.

Any song that has the word " Peculiar " in it and is a song that is known by millions of people around the world, you know its a great song :D This song came out when i was in my 20's, loved it then, love it now, its one of those songs that brings back a happy carefree time, always gives me a smile.

man I love her voice and this song is still one of my faves and I'm nearly 60. I'm just afraid the best music is behind me and not more to come

Like so many awesome 90s songs, this one got me through hours, days, weeks, months, years, tedious data entry jobs in my 20s before I finally went back to graduate school. Loved the song.

Music brings EVERYBODY together when your a musician like me play by ear you feel the music and lyrics not just listening. You my friend have the gift God bless you.

They are a great and greatly underrated band. I like them a lot.

Linda Perry worked with Pink on her second album Missundaztood and wrote Get The Party Started and has a feat. with Pink on the song Lonely Girl. He also worked with Christina Aguilera on his album Stripped and wrote Beautiful.

I still love that song. My dad and I met her in San Francisco one time when we went to get tattoos. She was really cool.

Amazing song! I remember hearing it on the radio all the time. Went to my grandmother's house and my little cousin kept singing it non stop

Loving your reaction. I agree 100% with you. This song came to me at a difficult time in my life....all I remember saying was "what's going on". Then I heard this on the radio. It became something I could relate to or pray for. That's what music is like for me. I want to feel what your singing. If they are a good singer you'll feel their vibe. Prayers renaissance!

After reading the viewers comments about Linda Perry it's certainly puts a new perspective for mysel.Knew the song but didn't mean much except for a charismatic lead to me.Proof that you need to keep your eyes and ears open .A real positive review ,best one for a long time.

So many flash backs to the early 90s. Such an important songwriter too.

It was a really crazy kicking acoustic she was rockin here. I don't remember any other songs, but this was a big hit back in the day. Great vocals.

They used the song in the Netflix show "Sense8" with all the characters singing along to it.

It's funny. I had never heard of this group or the song before last weekend. My son was playing it at his house and it definitely caught my attention! I like it!

When I first heard this song it blew me away. Took me right back to the 60s.

There is a lot of great music that isn’t all about the lyrics but the the lead singers voice being another instrument. This has great lyrics I get but if I did not it would still be a great song. This song is awesome to be in the car driving to.

I love the part that you're speaking on. It has a positive vibe , that there is hope.

🎵 As Carl Douglas of "Kung Fu Fighting", famously said of his one hit record. "A one hit wonder, but what a hit!" 🎵

When this song was going around, I was working midnights Sunday-Thursday, getting off Friday morning, and heading out on the road with my band. Glory days rock. LOL I just watched a live video of Night Ranger you did tonight. A band I was listening to at the same time I was into Triumph.
