And thanks to this song, we also got this classic soundbite from SirPatStew when he hosted SNL:
Colonel Kira's Left Tit
Bearded Belly of Bajor
I remember watching that episode when it aired. Not being all clued into the "fandom" at that time, at least I wasn't reading interviews or magazines or backstory shit back then, I was astounded SirPatStew actually had a sense of humor! I figured he was just this stolid Brit-ish fellow with a huge stick up his ass as the character mostly came off as, and all the other roles I'd seen him in too.
Quelle surprise.

The most (late) nineties song.

"Spike & Mike's Sick & Twisted Animation Festival." It still limped along for a bit in the 2000s (I still have my 3D glasses from "HERE COMES DR. TRAN" from around 2002), before (apparently) being done in by broadband and YouTube, but is there anything more '90s? If you lived in a quirky medium to large city, once a year you'd head down to some independent theater to stand in line to watch shorts like "South Park's" "The Spirit of Christmas" or "Frog Baseball" with Beavis & Butthead.
Wiki tells me that there was originally a "Festival of Animation", that started in 1977 and "...Sick & Twisted" spun off in 1990, with "Festival of Animation eventually being killed off. At some point in the 2000s they added another festival for non sick & twisted animation and the Wiki article treats it like it is still a thing, but down in the endnotes the external link to the official page is archived by the Wayback Machine from 2014.
Oh, and it started in La Jolla, so while I somehow missed going to Comicon when I was stationed in SoCal in the early 2000s, I did see the season premiere of the "Sick & Twisted Animation Festival" at least once.

Everything But the Girl began in the 80s, but they thrived in the 90s
And a remix of an older song of theirs changed the course of their careers (they're still recording & touring today)

I can't see whatever that is.
EDIT: seems like Bluesky isn't working in the UK right now.

I bought this because of the Elvis Costello/Brian Eno track "My Dark Life"; the rest is good as well.
Elvis and Steve Nieve did a great live version of the song during their mid-90s tour together... captured in the limited edition box set "Costello & Nieve" from 1996.

Damn I loved this show back in the day.

Me too. Best $40 I ever spent picking up all 5 seasons on DVD. And I think I still have the movies on VHS recorded off of TV all those years ago somewhere.
