Yet another "identify this song" thread

Cafe Society

This song was played some on alternative radio in the late 90s, but it was not a major single. The band was one of those jangly frat-boy rock bands like Blink 182 or Lit, but I can’t remember who it was. The song itself was short, only about 2 minutes long, and was a much heavier and harder-hitting sound than the band was generally known for.

The problem is that I know NONE of the words. I went through iTunes and listened to every song from all the similar bands that sounded like it might have been it, and didn’t come up with anything.

Help!

All I Want by The Offspring?

3

It definitely wasn’t The Offspring.

4

The only thing I can think of would be ‘Song 2’ by Blur.

5

Can you remember what the song was about?

6

Besides being 3:00 long, RPM by Sugar Ray fits your description. Cool song too.

7

Nope, not Song 2, not nearly as popular. I can’t remember anything about what the song is about–I don’t think I could make out many lyrics.

The Sugar Ray song is very much the same idea (it was definitely a band in that vein), but not it.

8

How well known was the band? One album? Two? Two plus? One hit wonderish?

9

Vaseline by Stone Temple Pilots? Well, I think that’s more early/ mid 90’s, but everything else fits.

You don’t know the group, or any of the words, or even the general subject matter.

Hmmmm… did it go
da da da, da da da da?:stuck_out_tongue:

Sex Type Thing was their first single, and it was probably their heaviest as far as I’m concerned. IMHO, heavy and hard-hitting don’t describe that song. I really hope people don’t think they are in the same category as Blink 182 and Lit.

Okay, total shot in the dark: “Sex and Candy” by Marcy Playground (not exactly hard-hitting perhaps but then I’m not really sure what that means to you).

I guess a heavy and hard-hitting song from this period could be the Toadies’ “Possum Kingdom” but that its pretty long IIRC. (Great song though…)

The only one I know by the Charlatans?

Bumping this ancient thread to let everyone know that I FINALLY figured it out. This morning, I remembered a line from it, and that was all I needed.

The song (drumroll please) was “Anything” by Third Eye Blind.
