MBJ February 11, 2015 Share February 11, 2015 (edited) If you can't tell, I'm a huge nerd when it comes to the music they show on television (or movies, or commercials, or...) The music is obviously a huge part of the show. The show is set in Orlando, 1995. 1994 is my favourite all time year for music! So for me, it's a good era. I make it a habit to keep track of the music anyway, so I thought I'd share what I have. May not be totally 100% accurate, but I try my best. A few of these, I had to look up. Feel free to add, correct, inquire :) Pop/Adult Contempo Ace of Base, The Sign Bette Midle, Wind Beneath My Wings Bonnie Raitt, Let's Give Them Something to Talk About Rupert Holmes, Escape (If You Like Pina Coladas) - When the father "escapes" from the mother at his restaurant :) Whitney Houston, I Will Always Love You Hip Hop/Rap Cypress Hill, Insane in the Brain Hammer, U Can't Touch This (I didn't hear it play, but Evan did the Hammer-pants dance across Eddie's room :) ) Ice Cube, It Was a Good Day MC Breed & DFC, Ain't No Future in Frontin' (I think this is when Eddie tries on all the Orlando Magic gear) Big Poppa, Notorious B.I.G. Ol' Dirty Bastard, Shimmy Shimmy Ya Snoop Dogg, What's My Name? Snoop Dogg, Gz and Hustlas Too Short, So You Want to be a Gangster Grunge Live, Lightning Crashes (Eddie's Cousin - what did Eddie say when he heard this? "That lady's voice is whack!" or something, LOL!) Edited February 11, 2015 by Ms Blue Jay 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/21935-the-music-so-fresh/
fishcakes February 11, 2015 Share February 11, 2015 I think he said, "this lady sounds TERRIBLE," which made me snort-laugh. I detest grunge, and I feel like a big part of the 90s was people learning I'm from Seattle and then trying to talk to me about Nirvana. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/21935-the-music-so-fresh/#findComment-814907
CrazyDog February 19, 2015 Share February 19, 2015 (edited) I'm loving the music - I'm not gonna lie :) And yes, that line about Live was hiliarious, though I still like quite a few of their songs.

PRgal February 19, 2015 Share February 19, 2015 Though I was in high school during that time, I'm actually not 100% familiar with the music so far. During that time, it was either (new) country (and probably the only Chinese person in Toronto to actually enjoy it, like I'm probably (one of) the only Chinese Canadians under 50 (and NOT a tai tai from Hong Kong or Singapore) who reads Town & Country) or artists like Sarah McLachlan (and slightly later, Jewel). Country and Lilith are weird combinations, huh? Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/21935-the-music-so-fresh/#findComment-843486

editorgrrl February 26, 2015 Share February 26, 2015 The theme song is by Danny Brown. Danny Brown's 'Fresh Off The Boat': Best Rap TV Theme Since 1990? The similarity to the "Fresh Prince of Bel Air" theme is surely intentional, from the way the bass on the beats mirror each other across decades, to the way the fun, graffiti'd pastiche of the "Fresh" intro mimics the Karl Kani world of the "Fresh Prince" credits. But it's definitely the best (the only?) primetime rap theme we've heard in 25 years. (Twenty-five years!) Also a milestone: perhaps the cleanest and most family-friendly rap song Danny Brown has ever released. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/21935-the-music-so-fresh/#findComment-868517

How can one go through their teenage years without Ice Cube and ODB is beyond me! The music on this one was great. Beastie Boys were an integral part of every suburban girls mid 90's experience! ITA on all counts! One of the things I love about the show is all the musical flashbacks. Funny how you can hear a song you haven't thought about in ages and realize that you still know all the words. The music really helps with the 1995 setting (along with some of the other details on the show).

MBJ October 14, 2015 Author Share October 14, 2015 (edited) I'm going to need help with the music for Eddie's prom episode. "Boombastic" by Shaggy has got to be one of my top 5 choices the show has made so far. That scene was incredible. I loved that song so much. The other one I know is "Alive and Kicking" by Simple Minds. However, there's the slow dance song and the Mosh Pit song at the prom that I don't know. Tunefind should upload stuff in a few hours.
