Nineties Friday
I was asked by @geneeverett and @thebighigg to do a #NinetiesFriday post. Well, it's outside my norm, but how could I say no?
All right, so here goes nothing!

My connection to the 90's really was all the music that was out at the time, so that's where I'm focusing. Some great music came out during this time. I chose three examples from this era, ranging from serious to not-so-serious.
Enter Sandman - Metallica
Some of the music was serious. Released in 1991, this song was originally about Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, but the band was told to change the lyrics. (Source)
It's creepy, has a great melody, and it's iconic.
These days, I typically hear it played when I'm at a hockey game. It's kind of an odd choice, but it definitely gets everyone singing.
Vacation - Vitamin C
Some music was lighthearted. For those of you who grew up with Pokémon and saw the first movie that came out about it, this one brings back a lot of great memories! This song was released towards the end of the era, in 1999.
I fondly remember the days of playing Pokémon with my cousins on our GameBoys, and later playing the trading card game together. Good times!
I'm Too Sexy - Right Said Fred
Lastly, some of the music was not meant to be taken seriously at all, but that's what made them great! How can you not love a song about a model bragging about how they're "too sexy" for various things, like their cat? This song was released in 1991.
The best part of the 90's was MP3 players made their debut towards the end of the era. This was a revolution in taking your music with you. Not only could you rip your favorite music from your CDs, but you could store them on an MP3 player instead of having to bring a big stack of CDs, a portable CD player and extra batteries.
That's it for my trip down memory lane. Maybe next time I'll cover movies, as there were some great ones that came out!

Haha, right? It seems like a lifetime ago. 😆
Make me feel so old .. .. .
Haha, well, we're all getting older. There's nothing we can do about that. 😆
Hope I can join too.😊
Sure! You can make a #NinetiesFriday about 90's music, movies, books, etc., and just use the tag when you post it on Friday. 🙂
Thank you. 😊
You have unlocked many memories for me with this post! In the time of these songs we had access to MTV and thanks to that I have watched the videos of Metallica and that of Right Said Fred hundreds of times. The first is an example of a band that has managed to survive the passage of time, adapting to the changes in the music market. Well, they deserve it. As for the latter, they are an example of the contrary, a "one single hit" that triumphed for a short period to disappear completely. But it was a fresh and casual song ideal for dancing at summer parties. 😁
I have picked this post on behalf of the @OurPick project! Check out our Reading Suggestions posts!
Please consider voting for our Liotes HIVE Witness. Thank you!
I'm glad it brought back a lot of great memories for you! 🙂
Yeah, it's interesting which bands have a long career and which ones disappear over time. I suppose that's to be expected for the music industry.
Thanks for the curation! 😊

Thanks! 😁
Ashlee said this was her 8th grade graduation song! Vitamin C
I haven't thought about "I'm too sexy" in years and years. Wow. You know, the best part about that was how it infused into the culture and pretty much everyone started mocking it, with sitcoms doing "I'm too sexy" bits and even serious stars getting in on the act.
Haha, right? It reminds me of how everyone was trying to do the Gangnam Style dance years ago. 😆

Nice tunes bro! Good old Right Said Fred.... I love Metallica, that's a great pick! The Pokemon I didn't know, but I didn't really get into Pokemon until my son did, so after that epoch. Very cool!
