I would love to see you do White Town - Your Woman. In interviews the guy seems to really hate Marxism. He hints the song could be about a gay guy falling in love with a straight man. But the songs riff is sooooo annoying. Maybe you like it? It’s not crap like Filthy though xD

2018-02-19 18:32:02 +0000 UTCThanks, Todd. I'd never heard this song before your review and now it's stuck in my head... Also, I'm surprised you didn't riff on the lyrics a little more, they're just so ridiculously bad... Especially the part where Kyper's dad walks in on him having sex with the chick and he's like "ummm, we're playing tic tac toe". The lameness of the narrator in the entire song kills me, and I can't tell if it's intentional. Kyper does have some nice dance moves though.

2018-02-03 03:58:19 +0000 UTCKyper had another release in 1995 called "Livin in X-T-C" which had a few AC/DC covers on it. Here's another forgotten 90s one hit wonder that would be a good choice for the next OHW ep:<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyDqoLimejg" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyDqoLimejg</a>

2018-02-01 18:21:24 +0000 UTCI'm just now realizing the Chef Boyardee Tic-Tac-Toe's was based on this? <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFbYLCn3a24" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFbYLCn3a24</a>

2018-02-01 15:16:24 +0000 UTCWould Tatu count as a one hit wonder?

2018-02-01 10:03:51 +0000 UTCFor a second there I thought it's was going to be about the german band Tic Tac Toe. But this is even more obscure.

2018-02-01 08:50:18 +0000 UTCThat's a bit of "The Adventures of Grandmaster Flash on the Wheels of Steel," I don't know what the sample is from.

2018-02-01 07:24:14 +0000 UTCWell that's a dumb mistake. Fixed now.

2018-02-01 07:19:37 +0000 UTCPlz upload it to YouTube as well. I simply can't see it on vimeo because it's to laggy on the app. :( it totally stops halfway through and starts from the start when crashed :(
2018-02-01 07:08:38 +0000 UTCWell, I can tell you this was played in L.A. in the summer of 1990, cause I remember riding in my stepbrother's car and putting the pop station on and when it got to the line about "Is it sex? Maybe so!" he went "you listen to this crap?" and changed the station. :( That's probably the most anyone remembers this song tbh.

2018-02-01 06:59:41 +0000 UTCGreat video, Todd! I always love seeing obscure music on OHW. Out of curiosity, what is the song at 5:00? That sounds like a pretty awesome synth line.

2018-02-01 06:33:25 +0000 UTCHey Todd. Great video, but it looks like the title cards at the beginning aren't transparent so the screen blacks out when the captions are up.

2018-02-01 06:06:41 +0000 UTCDamn, no Possum Kingdom. Whatever, any Todd is good Todd... but seriously, do Possum Kingdom by Toadies.
