only heard a couple of songs by them.
but god! that hmmmm hmmm hmmm song must have been the 90s equivalent of the "suicidal" song - everyone played the life out of that poor song. you just couldnt escape it.
i dunno, i probably would have liked em more if i had heard less of that tune back then.

one of my fave lyrics from them.
Swimming In Your Ocean
When I'm sampling from your bosom Sometimes I suffer from distractions like Why does God cause things like tornadoes and train wrecks?
CHORUS When I'm swimming in When I'm swimming in your ocean Floating aloft on creams An scented lotions I can get pretty side-tracked I hope you'll understand
When I kneel before your bounty Sometimes I wonder if there could be really UFO's that come from other planets
[CHORUS]
And when you let me taste your fingers I take them like fruit and as I linger I Wonder if my seed will find purchase in your soil ...

here's another one Two Knights And Maidens One there were two knights and maidens They'd walk together Out in the gardens In all kinds of weather The knights always pestered the maidens To love them together Out in the gardens And they could watch each other The maidens had other plans for the two knights They'd give them potions And make them see dreams and lights The knights took the potions gladly They laughed at their visions But outside the garden Tigers smelled them together The maidens had other plans for the two knights They'd give them potions And make them see dreams and lights The knights only laughed at the tigers They thought they were visions Out in the garden The maidens watched them together Ah, but for the two knights Ah, but for maidens Who gave to them dreams and lights

i was abroad when i got the cd and have no idea na ganun pala kapopular yung mmm mmm... natuwa lang ako sa vocals nya but when I got the cd, ayus din, madami din ok na tracks. ang masama lang yung cover ng cd nilagyan ng black permanent marker yung ibang areas. langya talaga mga taga saudi. pati nga yun the wall cd cover and iba pa cd tinambakan ng marker covers.

yung vocals talaga una mo mapapansin sa kanila. dude's voice was so deep. parang gothic na. parang Peter Steele o Nick Cave

naaalala ko napanood ko date sa VH1 , kasama yung "mmmm mmmm mmmm" na song sa "most awesomely bad songs ever" , I like that song though, perhaps the only CTD song that I'm aware of.

what about them? me likey their god shuffled his feet album (kudos to emilinator) - I get a kudos? How? When? Why? What? I don't recall ever mentioning them during our last tambay moment but this tape is actually a little bit memorable because I was in first year college then (luma na rin yung album na yun by that time) and this was the only tape I had in my possession when I was staying at my tita's place in Paranaque. I no longer remember the songs now but it had a lot of cute piano tinklings going on that really gave me a "feel-good" feeling. I think Dan Swanö might like 'em don't you think?

I would say that the equivalent of the "Suicidal" song THEN was 4 Non Blondes' "What's Up"

I remember this song, it's the "ballad" off the album. The lyrics are hilarious but the music is great (EMOte ako dito sa song na'to dati, hehe). Parang may 80's sensibilities yung music dito sa track in question, me likey! : D I really really think Dan Swanö would take a liking to Crash Test Dummies.
