  • Just announced these guys are opening for Guns N' Roses in Detroit!!!

  • you deserve so much more, happiness is just a purchase away, fukn love that line, wow do i miss the mid nineties, this fukn rocks, im bored and down a lil bit, and now im calling my buddies to grab some beers! thats the power a good rockn tune can do! signing off! rock on! its waxecstatic!

  • Love the song... the video however, 4 minutes of a Scott Weiland impression.

  • fuck kanye west and jigger jay-z

  • imma say some old man shit right now.......... They just dont make them like this anymore.

  • maybe someone can request this on their favorite radio station ? i love this band .

  • This brings me back to when rock meant something. STP, AIC, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Nirvana...what the hell happened to rock? You used to be able to turn the radio on in confidence of hearing something relatively new and good. Now it's nothing but generic Nickelback worship which they have to mix with other, even worse pop/hip-hop shit just to generate a station's worth of material to stay on the air. BRING BACK CREATIVITY, ORIGINALITY AND CLASS. FUCK BIEBER, FUCK THE BLACK EYED FUCKING PEAS.

  • @SeveralSeveredShins Unfortunately it died with Layne Staley & Kurt Cobain,,sad but tru

  • @3rdminist3r - Okay, but Layne Staley didn't die for like eight years after Cobain... that's a pretty big window in which to compare their deaths.

  • @robgordo21 fair enough

  • WAX ECSTATIC. It makes you watch roller derby.

  • I always expected this band to blow up but they just kinda faded off

  • I can live with it

  • i love Sponge more than you

  • @magictonez I sponge you more than love... What do you think about that huh?

  • sponge!!!! come on!!

  • I would have chosen a different color for my fake tooth

  • oh I remember this music just dont sound like this no more I was 16 when this came out pure carefree bliss!!!!!!!!

  • My band is actually working to keep music like this going. Keep good music alive.

  • For some reason I find a lot of paralells with this song and the use of narcotics...

  • Can anybody tell me whatever happened to Tim Cross? I had the biggest crush on him back in the day and he was always so quiet, never found out too much about him. I've been trying to find out what he's up to these days, if anything, but without much luck.

  • DETROIT ROCK CITY!

    

  • What a fuckin rock star..recently saw some pics o facebook....they did a show with AIC..that would be a dream for me if it happened again!!!!

  • remember when we used to talk crap on our parents for listening to the same "oldies" they listened to when they were teens ...lol.....now im 30 and still listening to mostly the same stuff i used to ...go figure

  • @kindnugz420 I think about that at least once a week. haha

  • @kindnugz420

    I never talked crap to my parents. Their music rocked, my music rocked. I feel sorry for the youth today, their music blows.

  • @RCTPatriot75 let's be fair... some of their's, some of our's!

    kids today really do have nothing new worth listening to- not to mention, now that everybody has cell phones, how do kids tell who can sell them weed?

  • @kindnugz420 yeah but this stuff is still contemporary 

  • Man, we were spoiled in the 90's. Rock music these days blows

  • if i could only get this song on itunes or rhapsody id be wax ecstatic (lol)

  • this song reminds my 15s...

    Good to listen when you need some instigate to do something! lol

  • THIS IS BASICALLY RAP, NOW ALLOW ME TO EXAPLAIN, THIS IS CONSIDERED POST GRUNGE, NOW GRUNGE WAS A PRECURSOR TO RAP METAL, OR "NU METAL", BUT IT IS ALL ACTUALLY RAP BECAUSE GRUNGE IS MIXED IN WITH NU OR RAP METAL...MAKING IT ALL RAP, NOW ALLOW ME TO FURTHER ALLABORATE...THERE IS NO RAP METAL, THERE IS NO RAP ROCK, IT'S EITHER RAP OR ROCK...NOW ALTHOUGH THERE IS VERY LITTLE RAPPING IN THIS SONG, IT IS STILL RAP.

  • @MattL883 what is your problem? Also, use a browser that has a spell check, elaborate?

  • @MattL883 It's not rap you stupid fuck, and how can grunge be a "precursor" to rap when rap came before grunge? Being a "precursor" necessitates preceding it, "EXAPLAIN" that one you retarded illiterate fuck.

  • @botchalism umadbro?

  • @SodaWaterification noimsadtho {=0(

  • @MattL883 Owwwww, you make my head hurt....

  • @MattL883 are you fucking retarded?

  • @MattL883 CAPS R SO COOL

  • @MattL883 wow your fucking retarded how the hell is this rap its alternative and if rap/rock doesnt exist then (hed) p.e. but thats off topic and grunge came after rap grunge would be like alice in chain and nirvana. but what you're saying is that nu metal is mixed with rap and you're wrong again look at korn for example one of the first nu metal bands they dont rap in their songs. sorry bro gets your facts straight next time

  • I love this song.

    On a separate note, it makes me kind of sad that they used a song as good as "Kings and Queens" for a freakin Sunkist ad.

  • @cacoethes1 ....that's 30 seconds to mars.... not Sponge...

  • @Halo5iNiN ...Yeah, I'm aware.

    They don't even sound alike, and notice that I said "on a separate note." But thanks for that nifty tidbit. The song was brought to my attention by the obnoxious Sunkist commercial (that's still playing) that features it.

  • what the hell is wax ecstatic suppost to be anyway?

  • @foxmcloud23 drugs, or whatever you use or someone tries to sell you to deal with life i think.

  • Gonna see Sponge in a couple of weeks in Reading,PA Aug.17th at new club...REVERB....I'm psyched!

  • @usclerkguy my band is opening for them at the chance in poughkeepsie new york on the 20th, gonna be a fun show to play!

  • @Kevman3322 very cool! Hope you have a blast!

  • Comment removed

  • I Love this Video!

  • Wish this song was on iTunes (it's not.) This CD is so damn hard to find. In fact it's uncommon to even find one compilation disc w/this song on it. This is the ONLY Sponge LP from the Sony/BMG yrs that's not at iTunes. Walmart used to have it but I don't think it's there any longer. Bunch of bullshit.

  • A couple of Sponge's former members left to join hard rock supergroup HellYeah which features Mudvayne's Chad Gray & Dimebag Darrell's brother Vinnie Paul (ex of Pantera & Damageplan.)

    Will Sponge ever reform again?

  • Fucking classic

  • The guitarist is playing a left handed strat upside down. Bet he is a Jimi fan.

  • THIS SONG WAS REALLY REALLY POPULAR, LIKE REALLY POPULAR!

  • This was a fun time

  • This is clearly alternative where were you when it came out?!

    Sponge is awesome!

  • ALL CAPS RAGE RAWRAWRAWRAWRAWR TROLOLOLOL.

    Chill the fuck out, kid. Go blow your rap metal TRUMPETT.

  • @Tremulant887 Haha xD made me laugh mate :)

  • OK IF I HAVE TO KEEP REPEATING MYSELF THERE'S NO POINT IN TEACHING YOU ALL A THING OR 2 ABOUT MUSIC, I HAVE GROWN UP WITH MUSIC AND I PLAY INSTROMINTS LIKE DRUM AND TRUMETT SO YOU WANNA HAVE A DEBATE ABOUT MUSIC, I'LL ALWAYS WIN...I'LL SAY IT AGAIN, THIS IS RAP METAL, OR RAP, OR NU METAL, IT'S POST-GRUNGE WHICH IT GOES LIKE THIS, GRUNGE, POST-GRUNGE OR "NU METAL", SO YES EVEN DATING BACK TO ELVIS HE WAS RAP METAL.

  • @MattL883 Hope you do better with music than with proper spelling and grammar. I know you will never win one of those battles.

  • @MattL883 Who give half a happy rat's ass?? Just listen to the music it , enjoy it and go on to the next one....Geez I get tired of all the self-important son of a bitches on this site.....Oh yeah, I don't want to hear anything about that 'freedom of speech' shit.....Nothing's free anymore...

  • @flm829 IF YOU WANNA GET TECNICAL? THIS IS RAP METAL, YOU WANNA KNOW WHY FLM829, I MEAN DO I HAVE TO KEEP REPEATING MYSELF OR WILL IMPOLSOLTS LIKE U (NO OFFENSE) KEEP CONTRODICTING WHAT I SAY, IT'S ALL PRECURSORS, IF YOU WANNA GET TECNICAL ELVIS WAS RAP METAL, SO I MEAN REALLY? IT JUST KEEPS GETTING TO COMPLICATED FOR ME TO JUST GO ON AND ON BUT ALL U PEOPLE NEED TO DO YOUR RESEARCH AND LOOK UP A THING OR 2 ABOUT RAP, NU METAL, OR GRUNGE...IT'S ALL THE SAME.

  • @MattL883 Good lord you're an idiot....get a life....get laid or something.....Also, 'tecnical' is spelled 'technical' & 'controdicting' is spelled 'contradicting'.... The ability to spell & use proper grammar typically has bearing in your level of intelligence...My post had nothing to do with the genre of this song....It was simply to let you know to let it go and move on......

  • i did grow up in the 90's. i was listening to nirvana before kurt killed himself. i miss old music

  • i did grow up in the 90's. i was listening to nirvana before kurt killed himself. i miss old music

  • yeah niggers control the music industry now, I suppose the white people were smart enough to just download their songs for free.

  • YOU SEE, GRUNGE WAS A PRECURSOR TO RAP METAL, NU METAL OR WHATEVER, ALL GHETTO/GANGSTA RAP, SO I CONSIDER THIS THE BORDERLINE FOR RAP METAL, IT'S GHETTO GANGSTA AND ALTHOUGH HE SINGS MOSTLY NO RAPPING IT IS STILL RAP METAL.

  • @MattL883 you think sponge is rap metal? did i read you correctly?

  • @MattL883 are you an idiot?

  • @crazyninja012 WHAT I AM SAYING HAS PLENTY OF LOGIK TO IT, SPONGE IS BASICALLY RAP METAL, AND I EXPLAINED WHY I SAY THAT.

  • @MattL883 sponge weren't grunge OR rap metal, you trollin'?

  • @MattL883

    God what happened to intelligent deduction lol "its rap even though no ones rapping"

    Really?

  • @MattL883 going by that logic everything back to Elvis is rap metal because it's all "precursors" to rap metal

  • @toxictc13 I SUPPOSE YEA BACK IN 74 WHEN AEROSMITH WROTE "WALK THIS WAY" BACK THEN IT WAS CONSIDERED HARD ROCK BUT TODAY IT WOULD BE CONSIDERED RAP METAL, HE PRACTICALLY RAPS IN THE WHOLE SONG AND SINGS IN THE CHORUS, SO IT WOULD'VE BEEN R AND B BACK THEN, TODAY IT'S RAP METAL MIXED WITH R AND B, GHETTO/GANGSTA EVEN FOR 1974.

  • yeah

  • ONE OF THE FIRST RAP METAL SONGS.

  • Underrated 90's AOR.

  • vuvuzela @ :53 ! Blink and you'll miss it!

  • it blew during this song too, if memory serves correctly

  • saw them live in toledo when i was young

    great show other than the fact that their entire rig on the stage left side blew out and there wasn't any sound coming from that side

    still rocked it

    it was a free show too!

  • they really brought rap metal to the four front

  • Poor Sponge, whatever happened to 'em? I vaguely remember having the cd and liking only a few songs off it.

  • @Sonneilon6 they disappeared like all of the other good bands from the 90s

  • @bluecollarman2007 there actually still around and still making music, only to a smaller crowd now since like you said a lot of hte good bands from the 90s pretty much disappeared

  • annoying guitar riff : / but it catches on after a couple of hits here : )

  • need more sponge videos

  • Who the fuch called this rap metal???

    This is alternative rock, just that!!!!

  • Detroit Rock N Roll!

    

  • DETROIT ROCK N ROLL !

  • one of my all time favorite songs and albums

  • hellyeah to be a teen in the 90's again

  • @asobrabwerdna To be a teen again, period!!!!!!!!!

  • @asobrabwerdna know whatcha mean, I was 14 when this came out. One of the best years of my life.

  • YOU SEE, THIS IS GRUNGE, WHICH CHANGED INTO NU METAL WHICH I RAP, GRUNGE WAS THE ROUTE OF THE RAP THAT'S CALLED "NU METAL", HAS ALL THE BEATS OF RAP, NOT A LOT OF RAPPING BUT NONE THE LESS INSTEAD OF GRUNGE I LIKE TO CALL IT RAP OR RAP-METAL.

  • Pumps me up to do whatever that fuck i wan't,Get the fuck out my bussiness bitch ass muthafukahh do what i do when i want step up what?

  • GREAT RAP METAL SONG!!!

  • @MattL883 "RAP METAL"?.......................­.

  • @sonofpoony Thats a contradiction. Haha

  • @MattL883

    Dude, you're kind of a jackass, you keep posting the same, inaccurate observation about this band in hopes of getting a reaction, well, here you go. Now quite acting like a retarded, attention starved 13 year old girl and shut the fuck up. Thank you.

  • i love the video about how to sell shit in america

  • damn that drummer is insane :D

  • This song still sounds so good!

  • Wtf Happend to music?

  • @xxFABLEZxx It became 'about the money'.

  • Man, where does the time go? I remember being the whole "I hate the world, leave me alone" kinda rocker chick. Now, I'm like wtf. I wanna be carefree again.

  • THIS IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN MOLLY!

  • @MattL883 EVEN BETTER THEN PLOWED!!

  • are him and Wieland brothers

  • - nobody in rock is taking chances now CUZ THERES NO BANDS all the little kids are growing up watching gay ass jersey shore & theres no music no MTV.

    -The drinking law permits 21 & older to go to a bar to watch a show, you can smoke cigarettes, chew snuff, you can die at 18 in the army but you can't watch a band WTF? plz vote to change this

  • @GHOSTakaOzz YES, yes agreed, yes

  • GREAT RAP METAL SONG!!!

  • me too i totally miss the 90s

  • classic! i still miss the 90's...

  • this was my soooooong back then! ooooh the good ol' times

  • Comment removed

  • wow, its been ages since i heard this song. maybe thats why, but it sounds a bit different than i remember, did they update it or something?

    lol@the vitamin e pills...

  • I kinda hate todays music.. To bad I'm only 14 and didn't live back then when good music ruled the earth :P

  • @xxFABLEZxx I remember ir it.

    I miss it so much.

  • @Killenwolf I'm Fifteen now and all i remember from the 90's is the new Years eve 99-00 ... It sucked.

  • @xxFABLEZxx ....it is ok, you know what true non scream-o music is like........i'm 26 and hate today's music

  • @NefertitiRa I mean i don't hate ALL the music that is made nowadays. But most of it is complete Bullshit!

  • @xxFABLEZxx People like you can bring it back

  • The lead singer of this band is scary looking......

  • @CrazyDiamond5321 I just met him last night. He's actually a pretty cool, and quite a small, guy. :P

  • @SinnesterSorrow Who did you meet? Vinnie? I met the band years ago. Probably 1997 or 1998..

  • @ultraviolet221 Met the whole band. I'm younger so it was definately different seeing them now then it would have been back then. They did a concert at our fair with Seven Mary Three and Marcy Playground. Hell, the concert was the only reason I went. :P

  • @ultraviolet221 Me too.. He was such a very nice guy.

  • This is badass!

  • I would have thought there would have been millions of views on this tune. This was a great 90's song, I mean it was HUGE, but I am from the Detroit area, so maybe they got over play here. I think they're from the area.

  • @clutchfloydAIC Yeah definitely, I think they're doin a barhop night where people can get shuttled around with em from bar to bar and they're playin a set at each. sounds kinda cool

  • fuck the new music coming out, i like the feeling this older music gives you

  • dude im only twelve and i love these guys, there totally awesome!!!

  • One of the most underrated singles of the '90s. '96 genius. I remember blasting this album on my Discman (ha) at the start of sophomore year of high school. I took a drink from the water fountain and some field hockey chick came up right behind me as this song was pumping me up and I gave her this "f*ck" look as I turned and walked away.

  • this never gets old

  • I'm a 90's kid again! Those pills always looked like garlic pills to me lol

  • Comment removed

  • THIS VIDEO HOLDS TRUE IN MY HEART CUZ I HAVE SOAP BALLS THAT ARE WAX ECSTATIC AND FROM TIME TO TIME I STICK A NEEDLE IN THEM TO SEE THE STUFF POOR OUT.

  • saw them in detroit years ago! Were amazing!!

  • Chorus  Bb Fm Ab Eb

  • Chorus Bb F Ab Eb

  • I have a fever and the only cure is MORE DOUBLE GUITAR SOLOS!!

  • I actually own all of Sponge's albums. It's a shame they never got their due in the 90's. They were actually one of the best post-grunge bands out there.

    I even used this song as theme music when I wrestled.

  • ¡damn! this's a song good ...soon one drugstore...follow me.

  • Wow his teeth is fucked up! I was 12 when this came out. Nice song. Need to use that money and see a dentist.

  • @Leilan18 his teeth aren't really like that. those teeth are the album cover for this song.

  • This is their best song. Love it!

  • I remember buying this album and not thinking it held up to this song

  • Is this fucking cool or what? My friend Kenny said, "Check out Sponge." I thought it was a joke. Man, this is fucking great!

  • why are they making vitamin e look like it's a drug?? hahaha

  • brings back memories!!!!!!!!...of me in my flannels ...rocking my Simplez in H.S....one of my fav. bands during that time!!!!.....still amazing!!!!<3

  • This guy still reminds me of Layne Staley... He looked like Staley to me 15 years ago when I saw the video for Plowed on MTV's Alternative Nation, and he still looks like him to me today.

    I remember being the only one at my high school liking this album, or even Sponge... Ohwell, I don't care what other people think, this song kicks ass.

  • @RicoLen1 i don't think he looks like Staley at all..I think he looks a lot more like Scott Weiland of STP,and a little like John Waite..just my opinion.great song.

  • @BlazingSentinel Well whenever I think of Staley I always picture the way I saw him in the Again video, where his hair is blonde and still longish but it's slicked back over his head like here.

  • graet graet song

  • Bands like this make me wish I was born 10 years earlier... I was only 3 when this came out.

  • Here is something that is fucking fantastic!!!

  • I saw these guys play at mcguffys in dayton a year or so ago and the singer  dude is drugged the fuck out now.

  • Extension to my last comment,. You can download the music to listen to and if you like it,. support the band by purchasing the cd. Or they will die.

  • Bought this album without hesitation after hearing and bying Rotting Pinatata,. saw them live at roseland in NYC,. such an under rated unknown band from the history of my life but such great music that will live on, Somewhere. Theres nothing like this today. Think about next time you download music for free and think about how that impacts the bands future in lost revenue of record sales and whether or not they will be signed again and have another album.

  • Sponge needs to release a greatest hits or atleast remaster their albums. I love this group!

  • still love it!!

  • Here's something that is automatic It's Wax Ecstatic. When life is nothing less than tragic It's Wax Ecstatic. When life has lost all it's magic It's Wax Ecstatic. When life can't promise the fantastic It's NOT WAX ECSTATIC! lol jk everything is wax ecstatic. In soviet Russia, wax ecstatic automatic you! (ok that made no sense at all)

  • Here's something that is automatic

    It's Wax Ecstatic

    When life is nothing less than tragic

    It's Wax Ecstatic

    When life has lost all it's magic

    It's Wax Ecstatic

    When life can't promise the fantastic

    It's NOT WAX ECSTATIC lol jk everything is wax ecstatic. In soviet Russia, wax ecstatic automatic you! (ok that made no sense at all)

  • oh lord I have to watch a 15 second ad for perfect picture and audio quality!!! how will I survive!!!

  • @thegofdd

    sarcasm at its best!

  • what is wax estatic?
