Flopcast 640: Ironic Summer Songs of the 90s

Kornflake returns to wrap up the summer song project we started last week! This time we're covering the 1990s, and selecting the songs we most associate with each summer. So we'll probably cover some Mariah, some Paula, and perhaps a Barenaked Lady or two. Along the way, our 90s memories include Kornflake on the radio requesting a Seal song, and Kevin in a church basement insisting that life is not a highway. Kids, it was a weird decade full of weird summers. We're entering the Smash Mouth era. Cover yourselves.

Show Notes

John Mellencamp and Me'Shell Ndegeocello landed on Kevin's list with their cover of Van Morrison's Wild Night.

Kevin remembered correctly; Felicity saw Me'Shell faint onstage at Lilith Fair in 1998. Two other artists he mentioned also performed that year: Tracy Bonham and Natalie Merchant.
