The 90's Billboard #1's Rate (1995-1999): We've come to the end of our road.

I’m still shook at living for a third of a century without realizing this was why it’s called a bathing suit.

I don't think he means bathing as in having a bath. I think he means bathing as in... well, the old British sense of the word "bathing". If you read any Agatha Christie book, for example, "bathing" generally means "vaguely swimming in the sea for fun rather than as a serious sport".
(See also: the term "bathing suit".)

It's funny, I thought bathing in the sea was a really common expression (like it is in other languages), not something old fashioned that isn't used anymore.

(Nope. Savage Garden's second US number one!)

Hehe, I meant in your other rate!

Ray (2) - This sounds like deep fried, sugar-covered cheese. (I'm hungry now.)

P.S. I would totally eat this too.

 

[Jeffo]

Well that's how American ass interpreted the lyric from day one. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

My American ass understood the meaning of it pretty clearly.

 

[Jeffo]

Also this is a reminder that I Want You is a fucking JAM.

 

[berserkboi]

No love for Break Me Shake Me?

Also - it looks like the 4 Male Artists In A Row cull started! Goodbye, male stars!

 

[iheartpoptarts]

'The Animal Song' is the one!

 

[br0dy]

Pop!ular is that Darren Hayes bop.

 

[berserkboi]

Crush (1980me) is the best!

 

[Rooneyboy]

Gone. Too. Soon.

 

[Ray]

Darren Hayes is someone that I should like, but somehow don't. "I want you" and...that's it.

 

[Hudvar]

I feel we should at least give a nod to what's clearly the best Cabbage Garden single and an all-round 10:

 

[Ray]

Oh yes! Forgot that one. Another 10 from me.

 

[DJHazey]

Thirty places too late, but I'll take it.

 

[Mirwais Ahmadzaï]

Wait... I gave a 10 to Truly Madly Deeply?

Spoiler

 

[WowWowWowWow]

My American ass understood the meaning of it pretty clearly.

 

[Hudvar]

Wasn’t the equally drippy I Knew I Loved You number one for them also?

 

[DJHazey]

@WowWowWowWow that "Cascada ruined everything" read like blasphemy whether it was over this song or not. They never ruined anything...until the Original Me era began.

I mean they added new lyrics to their version and those new lyrics were ... the initials of the title of the song. GRAMMYS FOR EVERYONE
