Luscious Jackson - Ladyfingers

[ArtzyAudz]

<3 They've got Luscious Heart <3

[tacitgreen]

And, yes, this video looks the way it does INTENTIONALLY. It wasn't some 90s pre-fab. There's a REASON it looks this way.

[tacitgreen]

People busting on this video have no freaking clue what was transpiring in the 1990s. I'm blown away that a decade that so fundamentally reshaped music and laid the true foundation for video even today is so wildly, WILDLY misunderstood today.

This is an ALL FEMALE band that wrote, played and performed music that even today would be considered unusual. And they were MAINSTREAM POPULAR. Not a singing and dancing trio, but a female BAND, and they were f*cking amazing.

[imshippyupup]

@tacitgreen Hell yeah. Well said.

[lenoxblue]

i liked when they were more.. punk. Best word I can find. They're drastically different here.

[SammySinda]

I'd LOVE To See Luscious Jackson Make A Comeback, Have Really Missed There Music..... *Wink, Wink*.

[AtomicAntics]

I'm shocked that this video has so few views! It's a great song!

[JONGOKAMALA1]

AWESOME!

[hansjankamerling]

i got babyfingers YEAHHAHAA

[janniwheeler]

2:34 GAY AFRICAN! HAHAAH

[janniwheeler]

porno-pop lyric style. ahaha

[MamaKhamisa]

fizeter...it wasn't your imagination...I was thinking the same thing<3

[lilcenzo]

this is what happened on T.I.'s bus ride to his halfway house upon release from prison recently.

[EnvisionFilms]

@lilcenzo What he partied out to luscious jackson?

[lilcenzo]

@EnvisionFilms hahahaha. probably been better if he actually did, he'd probably make less dumb-ass decisions.

[doobysnaks]

great song, terrible 90s video haha



[Thebibs]

I loved this song until I saw this clip.

It made me car sick

[russlanism]

She dances exactly like Boy George back in his days

[jafooky123]

Looks like a Benetton ad...lol

[boozeguzzla]

50's -90's was great music. Not so now

[leisurelydinner]

@boozeguzzla music is better than ever now

[justaguyfriend]

OH MY GOD: that's Cibo Matto (Yuka Honda and Miho Hatori) who got on the bus with them! It's like an indie dance pop alternative electronica rock dream come true!!!

[tokowpc]

@justaguyfriend im pretty sure luscious jackson and cibo matto were both either produced or signed to the beastie boys label

[thundertower]

man they went from uber punk riot dykes to girly girls, nothing wrong with that

[xstine2007x]

Luscious Jackson fucking rules!!!!

[zulu59]

this song and its lyrics do NOT match the video

[sLePpInG]

2:27 Cibbo Matto! This is such a pretty video, wish I was there haha

[jumpfart666]

I'm into ugly raw black metal like Maniac Butcher but Luscious Jackson is always a guilty pleasure

[kirbonite]

this song always brings back great memories for some reason. I was young with great friends and dreams. I can't believe this video has to be framed with Beyonce. who even knows one Beyonce song?

[MrLiberty1972]

fuckin love this song. and yeah the pop 'look' was more natural and down to earth for most of the '90s. which totally got boring eventually...

Jill Cunniff rules...

[heymigs]

God, this video looks like a Benetton Ad.

[mary8810002]

This reminds me of the Village (NYC) during the 90s. Now its just unoriginal people who like the gap...

[lotus65]

never noticed the beautiful harmony in this song. treasure.

[cystacae]

I was a teenager in the 90s, grad in 97 and I loved it, loved 90s. I was into a lot of flannel and airwalks, bringing my skateboard to school and listening to alice in chains, pearl jam, soundgarden, etc. Miss those times as yea most people were real and natural. It was a lot of fun back then.

[Hasanchopper]

This has been stuck in my head randomly over the last 13 years since hearing it, never gets old, love it :)

[marsiozo]

LOVE this band SOOOO much.....some of the best undiscovered (for most people) music of the 90-ies...

[mikebtko]

I was watching best of alternative hits on VH1. They picked "Naked Eyes" as their big song. I had never heard that one. This was the song that rocked it!

[stupidnicks]

drum loops around the late ninetees were awesome...

[stupidnicks]

bran van 3000

[huliogtt]

Lovin' the song, the pastels and the token black guy with the funky moves. lol

[askaichin]

i love any music that came out in 1999..love this

[disasterhead]

haha cibo matto is in the bus

[Rockart9]

@disasterhead

haha i thought i was the only one who noticed :D

[TubeheadSkinnymike]

@fizetr I was wondering why the sky seemed bluer, remembering back. Now I know why.

And I'm 20 now so I totally relate to your comment. Girls seem so drab and, and when they don't they seem so over-sensualised. Just look to the girl nex to you and see if she's not wearing short-short-shorts and listening to Rhianna.

[herbprophet]

@TubeheadSkinnymike You should go to the "Mazzy Star -Fade Into you Video" immediately!

She was so cool not many girls like her anymore they all are loud and have shitty attitudes or are so focused on pointless shit that you can't even hold a conversation with them....I miss the 90's!

[silveryraven]

This song is bliss.

Watching this video is so bittersweet. It makes me wish I could relive the late 90's as the adult I am today instead of the struggling and blossoming teen I was then. Everything felt so fresh, fun and promising back then. I wish I had reveled in it more. But I am still grateful I got to smell those flowers before they were gone.

The message of this video to me is to not miss out on the ephemeral beauty of life. And the benefits of carpooling.

[herbprophet]

@silveryraven Go watch mazzy star fade into you now, i feel the same when listening to that.

[one72pjw]

yeah this brings back alot good memerories things were so much better in the 90s, especially my neighborhood, well plus i was a teen in the 90s i was just starting to learn about the real realities of life everything wasnt like it is now, you know shit seemed easier then

[one72pjw]

this was seriously one of my jams back in the day, i was probley the only person in camden listening to luscious jackson, i seen them open up for the beastie boys when i was a teen, is rosario dawson one of the people on the bus?

[samvance98]

Most 90's videos were either crazy bright - like the contrast and brightness were turned all the way up, or crazy dark.

[DreamFactory91]

@samvance98 That's why the 90s are the best. I wish more of my life was in the 90s, but unfortunately, 4 years was all I got.

[MyJunior1975]

"Electric Honey"- most slept on rock albums of the late 90's.

[MalvadoX]

damn...this song is good but i think it is very different to the songs Luscious Jackson made in the past...

[MeTaLLiCaT8282]

@MalvadoX Well, that's true, but the shift wasn't as drastic as one might think. I mean, I don't think the change of sound on ELECTRIC HONEY was as drastic from FEVER IN FEVER OUT as that album was from NATURAL INGREDIENTS. But, even NATURAL INGREDIENTS had "Here" - which would become a semi-hit after being remixed and re-released on the CLUELESS soundtrack.

[Kpharte]

There was a cameo of Cibo Matto at 2:27...just noticed that!

[robberblood]

Are those the ladies from Cibo Mato on the bus?

[Les80]

@Redsoxman199 Kate Schellenbach was also the drummer for the Beastie Boys in the early 80s. Luscious Jackson also released music through the Beastie Boys' Grand Royal record label.

[Redsoxman199]

I found this song on a Beastie Boys playlist, can anybody explain why?

[gavtek303]

Their first live performance was opening for Beastie Boys and Cypress Hill at the now-defunct Building in lower New York City. The Beastie Boys asked Luscious Jackson to be the first band on their Grand Royal label.

[L3adb3lly]

@gavtek303 the drummer for luscious jackson used to be in the beastie boys, ...as a drummer...

[prozacpeople]

Shame they're broke up!

[mountainhigh88]

Forever Be Young at Heart!

[Gage1960]

What great music ! Raw talent. In retrospect, the' '90s were America's halycon days, days of peace, prosperity and tranquility. The biggest worry was a blowjob in the White House.

[Nytefyre999]

What a band!

[jtorres133]

I love lady fingers. That puffy pastry with the cream in the middle. Its delicous or should I say luscious.

[LonerThursday]

The chorus in that song is amazing. The melody highlighted by the saloon piano single notes is my favorite part, along with the groove of the lyrics. The kind of tune that stays in your head. That's what I love most about that song.

[PappyHab]

Wicked Tune.

Did one of them leave the band prior to this album? I saw them around 95 or so and they were a 4-piece. She looks gorgeous here!

[lillybean44]

I love this band, it was a favoriye among all my girlfriends when we were teens (I still love the sound)

[chrishaven76]

Summer 1999. I was a delivery driver, and listened to this song nonstop. Life seemed hard at the time, but it was simpler. Now i am 33, and at times I long for those days gone by.

[xmariafernandax]

@chrishaven76 thanx for sharing yr story! thank you!

[frostinad]

the beastie boys discovered them

[fill779]

@frostinad One of them was the drummer of the beastie boys.

[manglor666]

My favourite part is when the bus stops and picks up Miho and Yuka from Cibo Matto, my other favourite band from the 90's.

[losttribe3001]

This is so weird...when I take public transportation, there is usually some very attractive people dancing around. That must be where they got the inspiration for this video.

[TheChill4u]

I Love The 90's Too, my favorite song from Luscious Jackson Ladyfingers, I love that video! :-)

[taylors238]

She has an awesome voice...God did I love the '90s!

[foosonic]

I miss the 90's sooo much!!! thanks for the video!!

[madjack3917]

@foosonic agreed! Such a rich time for music/culture.  We need a renaissance!

[foosonic]

Thanks for the comment man, peace.

[brianintn]

i used to think Jill was soooooo hot!!

[deliriouscouture]

same... until she took up residence at wendy's.

gabby was always smoking though. true fact.

[cmvg88]

yo tambien lo vi en Buffy season 4 Beer Bad...por eso lo busque...

[bildakid]

great song about respecting others, we all need to handle things with kid gloves. Lovers of the world unite and out shine the sun. I was crazy mad durring the 90's if you like this song listen to Cannon ball by the breaders, another awsome slacker anthem

[JBonthebase]

used to hang out with their beautiful manager & mr Pearl back in the day NYC better times..

[jamesbondaygee]

I've really loved this song since I heard it back in about 2000!!!

[Emgee78]

I miss the 90's.

[fizetr]

it's my imagination or everybody looks so natural in the 90's, the haircut styles of the 90's was so natural, as the clothes, no emos, not only the typical thin hair in the girls of today, and the girls looks more alive than the girls of today. I was a kid in the 90's and a teenager in the 2000's, now im 21, but i remember specialy the 90's as magic

[supernova13193]

your right clothing of the 90's especially 1993-1999 had a fresh look. Very gap-all american type of feel.

[vagisil4eva]

@fizetr right on, fiz

[charmed101fan]

@fizetr I loved the magic of the 90's. It was such a better time.

[nckossally]

@fizetr Me too. I'm 20 and I really wish I could be this age in the 90's.

[ogoboogo]

@nckossally stop seeking illusions outside your head and focus on being a good capitalist instead

[bunnybreaker]

@fizetr I know what you mean about 90s style being quite "natural", as in relaxed and not skanky or over done in any particular way.

Anyway, love this band and love this tune. Listen to Summer Daze if you haven't already though.

[Luckyvoxx]

@fizetr Yeah, that's true, actually the 90's were very 70's like, not these untalented baby faces from year 2000's.

[dariadammit]

@fizetr I was a teenager in the mid to late 90's, and I agree. Things just seemed better then than they are now, be it music, style, gas prices...:x ;)

[pignon170]

@fizetr

Ah , ah ! I didn't see your comments and i was saying to myself : " It's so weird : girls looks sane , no tatoos , not this horribles piercings , no bad attitude ... Did we change of time ...May i change of planet ??"

[pchiekrie]

@fizetr I <3 you

[Luckyrawk]

@fizetr I'm 43, and the 90's were very like the 70's...some mixed cultures, rock stars with soul and blood in their veins...90's were the best!!! And everybody can live this good 70/90 's vibes right now...no matter wich decade is.

[efsq]

@fizetr

damn right dude

[MrFrankPilato]

I like sooo much this... thank you for the video!

[lovesarahmichelle]

señor... xD como bailan super o my goi saw it for first time in Buffy (beer bad)

[lovesarahmichelle]

i saw this video in buffy! hahaha x dios.. xD

[kuei1248]

Song sounds cool, but man, those are some stupid lyrics. The brunette in the red tubetop is smoooookin!

[mellllb]

this song brings back lots of memories...i love this song....

[jazze2778]

The 90's made some great music! These girls blended some interesting genres with cool pop attitude without being too girly. Sweet to see EMI have some sense to leave this for for all of us to remember how good they were!!!
