Ukraine Always Get What You Want

This reminds me - earlier this year, I was in a cab in Latin America and heard the earworm that is 1995's Coco Jamboo, which was popular in Europe and outside the United States. He missed that one too!

 

The random crap you learn from Cunk on Earth

 

So was about half the stuff on the charts at the time that wasn't hair metal or (later) grunge. Jock Jams would've never happened without the Belgians.

 

Were the Belgians responsible for Who Let the Dogs Out?

 

Hey this is good! First time I ever heard of it, however.

1989's "Lambada" was a pretty massive world hit as well and it barely charted stateside.

As for "Who Let the Dogs Out," sadly the late John Peel on BBC Radio 1 was responsible for it busting out overseas — and therefore here almost necessarily. (They were Bahamian and not Belgian.)

 

I hasten to add on a personal note that Peelie turned me on to a bunch of new artists that nobody had ever heard of such as the Cranberries, the Prodigy, Happy Mondays and PJ Harvey. I'm told he was huge in breaking the likes of Bowie, Pink Floyd and Roxy Music as well.

 

No. Belgians were in the Congo.
Baha Men were from The Bahamas, so it was the British.

 

That MFing bridge should have been dropped into the sea even months before the truck attack. Screw "escalation." It's time to win a war.

 

The Russians are crying, calling it a terrorist attack.
Forget them. They started the war and bomb civilians.
Blow the bridge once and for all, and get the Ukrainians some offensive firepower to start better hitting targets inside Russia.

 

This is a perfect sentence.
