   The 90s were awesome because a song about a band's unabashed love for peaches could become a Top 40 hit, and the accompanying album could go TRIPLE Platinum.

     @killyourfm And then think of all the weird-ass bands that didn’t have top-40 hits but still got signed to major labels out of desperation

     @ernie UM, ok Ernie I take that back. Primus had MULTIPLE album entries on the Billboard top 10? Wow.

     And you might be inclined to think their song "Candy" is a parable about drugs, or toxic love. Nah. It's really just a song about loving the shit out of candy.

     Best lyric:
     "Now the devil, she must be a dentist
     With deep jaw breaker eyes
     Red rope hair
     Gumdrop lips
     Cotton candy thighs"

     @ernie I had no idea Wesley Willis was on a major label. That’s…astounding.

     @killyourfm Daniel Johnston and Wesley Willis getting major label distribution is something that actually happened in the mid-’90s.

     @evoterra Thank you for this reminder! I’ve been meaning to explore some of Cake’s post-90’s stuff.

     @killyourfm@layer8.space Cake and POTUSA are but two of the greatest and weirdest bands of that era. So, so fab.
