From Grunge to Gangsta Rap and everything in between! Post a song and let's talk about it!

Rules

  1. All aspects of the LW TOS apply.
  2. Be constructive and don't gatekeep. Music is highly subjective, and people have different tastes.
  3. If the source is YouTube, use the actual YouTube URL rather than a specific Invidious/Piped link. This prevents dead links as those go on/offline or break due to Google changes while also letting people's browser plugins, Lemmy clients, etc automatically re-write YT links to their preferred instances. Feel free to put alternate links in the post body, though.
  4. Put the link to the song in the URL field and not the post body.
  5. Submissions must be from the 90s (1990 - 1999) based on either recorded or release date. e.g. if it was recorded in 1999 but released in 2000, we're not going to split hairs over that; post away. Covers made in the 90s of older music is absolutely allowed and encouraged.

Posting Guidelines / Suggestions

  1. The preferred title format is Artist - Song Name [YEAR]
  2. If a song has a particular meaning or evokes a pleasant memory for you, feel free to share your story with it.

If you have other suggestions that would help grow the community and/or foster discussion, please feel free to share.

I was trying to find out if those were actors in the video and came across the royalties thing, that was a great thing for the rolling stones to do. It's obviously not the same song, I bet the whole thing haunted them too.

I mean, that string part is pretty much the entire song. Giving them full rights was definitely absurd and obviously if Mick and Keith don't care, it shouldn't have been an issue at all, but I wouldn't fault them wanting at least a little recognition. But I also think the song is repetitive and bland. Also the fact it starts with the word "cuz" has always annoyed me.

Yeah, but that string part wasn't strings in their song and sounded completely different. There are only so many chords and notes. The Verve asked them to use it, I'm pretty sure they had no problem giving them credit. It's just an interesting drama I've never heard about.

Fair enough. Though the fact that they asked ahead of time actually makes it worse for me.
