I recently heard the Spin Doctors’ “Two Princes” on the radio the other day. Seriously, why is this song still in circulation? I suppose I can’t give that much credit to a radio station that also boasts their DJs “BJ, Howie, Erica” and “Slacker and Steve”. Those DJ names alone are enough to change the station.
“Two Princes" came out in 1991, when I was twelve. I remember thinking that it was pretty good, fun. But that’s because I was TWELVE and it was the 90’s. So much bad music came out in the early 90’s; in 1991 alone some of these gems were released: R.E.M’s “Losing My Religion”, Boyz II Men’s “Motown Philly”, C&C Music Factory’s “Gonna Make You Sweat”, EMF’s “Unbelievable”, and Jesus Jones’ “Right Here, Right Now”. *Side note: DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince dropped “Summertime” and that song is legit. Still stands up today.* While I have heard some of these other songs in the past years, for whatever stupid ass reason I have heard “Two Princes” numerous times, and it does NOT stand up. At all. It’s as obnoxious as the lead singer’s face:
I watched a movie the other night and this song was playing in the opening scene. This movie was made in 2010. Why won’t this song go away? On a kid’s show I was watching the other day, one of the characters-who is supposed to be in middle school, mind you-clowned another one by comparing them to the Spin Doctors. That’s bad. That’s when you might want to consider throwing in the towel. Instead, these guys are currently “celebrating their anniversary” by touring the UK. Who is paying money to see these guys??? Are they 35 year old women in their Doc Martens reliving their teenage days? Sick. Give up the dream-all of you.
PS. My apologies if this song is now stuck in your head. Just another reason why it needs to be abolished. Forever.
