@TheShadowMystik He does. I also think he sounds a little bit like him too. Check out his other project Spys4Darwin, which also features members from Queensryche and Alice in Chains.
Post grunge? Wtf lets just make up shit while we go along. The genre thing is out of hand man. Heavy music is good. Everything else is shit. No need to split hairs.
FUCK KID ROCK? YOU KIDDING? HE WAS HUGE AT THE RIGHT TIME LIKE WHEN I SAW HIM AT WOODSTOCK IN 99. DONT TELL ME YOU WERENT A FAN THEN CUZ YOU WOULD BE LYING!
This song is based on Molly Ringwald, right? I figured because 'Molly' is the name of the song, and they say '16 candles down the drain' and '16 Candles' is one of her most famous movies. Anybody know?
i actually have this albums sitting around my house somewhere...its really good,to be honest their best,id say these guys were some of the founders of "post grunge" basically
Damn it what ever happend to this band?I useto smoke some bud while listening to the radio!! and this song would always come out in California.......does anybody know?? Just another lost classic!
@Abrahmelon they played great. we were eating dinner at the bar next door and they came in. we started playing their music on the jukebox and got some pictures with them. Vince still sounds awesome.
I'm from the U.S. this reminds me of when I was in Singapore where I lived for 4 years ! OH HOW I FREAKING MISS IT SO MUCH ! WHY I EVER CAME HOME I HAVE NO IDEA ! IT SUCKS HERE ! I had the most beautiful Malaysian girlfriend you can imagine ! Great song ! I never should have left !
@jaybrad77 Man....you can't compare this guys with eminem, kid rock and ICP....its another genre dude...sponge band is punk.....eminem and ICP are rappers....kid rock is a country singer.....that's really doesn't make sense at all.....wtf man...
@antigov84 Good.....when did i say eminem is blues? i said eminem is a rapper wtf.....you really don't know what music is. and btw im wrong with the sponge genre. sponge genre is post-grunge not punk. I don't know so much about sponge i just found them.
GOD BLESS THE 90'S! Glad I got to experience all the cool stuff like skip it's and nerf footballs and bands that came out that decade. Now this decade is all about social media and a voice behind a computer. Bring me back!
Oh, too look back at the years gone by.. all the people I was kissing,, some are here and some are missing... and she's one of the ones who got lost along the way.. 16 candles down the drain, indeed.. Thanks for this awesome video! the 90's will rock forever!
So... is this song supposed to be ABOUT something? An incident from one of the band member's high school days, perhaps? A love affair that didn't quite happen? Something of that nature?
@grupy3178 It's about the singer finding an old girlfriend dead in a bathtub. She killed herself because he said he didn't love her. The singer than regrets not loving her.
reminds me of a time i could turn on the radio and hear artists who made music not like now where all we have is studio products being pimped by their labels
@samweisberg this is definitely the same version as Molly on Rotting Pinata. The sound is muddy and weird in this song, but he absolutely says "hands". How in the world anyone could get cigarette stains on their ass, I don't know. To me it even sounds like "don't ask why" could be "don't ass why" - lol!
this is a different version from the one on "rotting pinata," right? he definitely says "ass" instead of "hands" at the beginning...and the whole thing sounds dirtier overall
I remember when the Billboard Top 20 had 20 songs on it that I loved. I believe this one peaked at 11 in 1995 (the golden years of music during my lifetime were 1994 and 1995).
Now I look at the Billboard Top 100 (just looked) and there are exactly 2 songs on that whole list that I like. At any point there might be 3 or 4 at one time, but music, generally, is a shell of what it used to be.
@CallahanSFPD yah, hey me and a few friends are talking about how the 90's is slowly making a comeback, ok lets eee theres a shit ton of bands from the 90's that have reunited like bush, smashing pumpkins, garbage ext, theres a bunch of small time bands like polar bear club and balance composure joy forrmidable gaining alot of popularity, ad it goes on i dont want to describe all that conversation but to keep it short while it may not be as big as they it was int he 90's the 90's are coming back
@jsh020 The thing is that even though all these great 90's bands are making a comeback, doesn't mean the world is going to be like i was back in the 90's. I mean I know times change and all but I really don't like the world the way it is today.
I miss the 90's. 80's music really such. all the hair band sang about the same stupid things, they all sounded the same. the 90's were better because everyone had different styles. And the song were about more relevent issues other than about slutty girls and stupid crap like that.
I love this song!! Thank you for posting!!! I never saw this video or band in concert. I was too young to go :( I always love this song and "Plowed"!!! :)
Yeah ... what happened to modern rock? ...even emo is dead...not sure what genre is next .... we have to be open minded except for one thing: Radio stations like WHTG FM 106.3 modern rock at the Jersey Shore don't exist any more ...so, it's not likely I'll be listening to the next Sponge any time soon...
I've made it a habit recently to walk into the Newbury Comics near my house and ask them if they have a copy of Rotting Pinata in yet. When they finally do, my friend and I are going to scan it on their sample headphones and rock out in the aisle to this album.
My brother bought the album while living in the US 6 or 7 years ago (I'm from Argentina) great album.. I discovered them thanx to the Empire Records movie.. first time I watch the video... and Plowed -Amazing!- the singer reminds me Scott Weiland, the way he moves... =P wanna go back to the 90's!!!!
I don't remember this song. The only song I can remember from this band was Plowed. I just found out after 16 yrs that it was Sponge that sung that song. I had always thought that it was Social Distortion.
It’s not just Sponge but I hear lot of people use the word “Grunge” to describe a band just because they got big in the 90s. That’s not true though. Sponge isn’t grunge I don’t think. Neither is Collective Soul. Or Beck or Better than Ezra. Maybe Live,Alice in Chains,Sound Garden..those guys were grunge.
@ehors123 alice in chains hated being called grunge. It's just some stupid fucking word that some jerkoff record exec from L.A said the first time he heard seatlle bands.. probably.
Nothing can ever compare to watching these guys in Mount Pleasant, Michigan in front of a sold out 100 person crowd at good ol' Rubbles. They would tour with the Dirty Americans when they first came out around 2000. Some fun times from what I remember. Vinnie does rock, real nice guy!
@paleopeneyes I never said anything about grunge, thanks for the response to echors123 post just ahead of mine tho. I also didn't realize it was necessary for anyone to defend a band based on what they assume. If u know so much about this so called record exec, and u are so sure Alice in Chains disliked the "grunge" label, find the guy and avenge Layne's death for me...
@THillCMU So you realized the comment wasn't for you.. yet you're such a lonely loser that you went ahead and provided a snarky response to it anyway? Wow, I feel bad for you, dude. As if that wasn't embarrassing enough for you, you go ahead and ask me to "avenge layne's death".. as if that had anything at all to do with my comment. You're without a doubt a goddamned retard. Unless you're twelve or something. But you're probably not. You probably are just this crappy of a person.
@paleopeneyes Ok there tough guy... How do you know it had nothing to do with his death? Maybe he was so pissed off he went and did a whole bunch of H.... I know of another "so called" grunge rocker doing something very similar when his band got too big. What was the name of his band again? Oh yeah Nirvana... Seems like a plausible scenario. Anyways, you were the one who called me out in the first one, it wasn't my fault you clicked the wrong name... So don't pin this on me. Ass
For me the lyrics don't matter - it's the music that makes this an incredible song. I'm not sure why a song that may have a sad meaning would have such an upbeat feeling musically, but I don't care. I just love hearing it. I think I'll listen to it again.
This song is not about Molly Ringwald. Listen to the lyrics, its about a guy who finds his girlfriend in the tub after she has killed herself. Great song....very sad lyrics.
this is an anthem for the 90's,, how could you not feel "that feeling" when you hear this, i thihnk of all the movies and music from then when i hear this,, so fkn awesome, also plowed from them does to, spacehog, ahhhhhhhhhhhhh
Saw them recently.. still sound great... They live in Detroit still and just did a cool Fire dept.charity event... Meet them at a bar..40 bucks.. ride a bus with them drinking to 5 bars around town where they would sit in with each band for a bit till the next bar and then back to the starting bar... My girl didn't want to go... I shoulda gone without her..
@escorpionlm igualmente. la nostalgia me pega como un tren cuando oigo esta musica de cuando era joven y en high school (disculpa pero no puedo escribir el espanol muy bien).
Que pasó con la música hoy en día? maldición como quisiera regresar a esas épocas, me traen tantos recuerdos, experiencias únicas ligadas por supuesto a toda la música de aquellos años... :(
As someone who still goes to Sponge shows now and then, it's great to see Vinny still rocks. And even with the new members, Sponge still puts on a fantastic show
I remember back in 98' or 99 lead singer got arrested at a performance in Tulsa for saying "Fuck" on stage after the promoters and police told him not too..Sponge Rocks
@slipknotlyrics Well actually Slipknot is one of my favorite bands...I was talking about the crap they play on 'popular' radio.I also like Disturbed,CKY,AFI,and others.Peace buddy.
@catwoman34 ,I don't even like Slipknot...not anymore at least,this is my cousin's account. I'm actually a huge Alternative Rock fan,that's what I started with. It just offends me that most Rockers that love Grunge,don't like Alternative bands today...which I have no problem with,I just don't see how someone could Love Grunge music,but hate the following bands that were Influenced by those Grunge bands. It's kinda sad if you think about it.If it wern't for Grunge,God knows what we'd have today.
I totally agree with PKP405 and Gizmo 524..and in all fairness to young music lovers today..MTV is partially to blame. It isn't selling true talent that just might be out there! Kids are only being fed stupid $h!t like jersey shore. I have the OLD MTV to thank for introducing me to Sponge :)
The main problem with MTV is that the forgot that they are Music network. The last couple of years I witnessed MTV en Espanol, a great music channel that played a diverse mix, turn into a Shitty and Appeasing Garbage like MTV 3! Regretfully great music these days can only be found on the Internet and strictly searching outside of the mainstream.

But then he follows that line with "on your note(suicide) was me reply"...and of course the whole "16 candles down the drain"....

For me the lyrics don't matter - it's the music that makes this an incredible song. I'm not sure why a song that may have a sad meaning would have such an upbeat feeling musically, but I don't care. I just love hearing it. I think I'll listen to it again.

This song is not about Molly Ringwald. Listen to the lyrics, its about a guy who finds his girlfriend in the tub after she has killed herself. Great song....very sad lyrics.

@forlife61 doesn't one of the lyrics say "i touch your face you start to smile"? i thought it was about a suicide, too, but that line threw me off.

Saw them recently.. still sound great... They live in Detroit still and just did a cool Fire dept.charity event... Meet them at a bar..40 bucks.. ride a bus with them drinking to 5 bars around town where they would sit in with each band for a bit till the next bar and then back to the starting bar... My girl didn't want to go... I shoulda gone without her..

I think this song was written for Molly Ringwald, one of her movies was called Sixteen Candels.

As someone who still goes to Sponge shows now and then, it's great to see Vinny still rocks. And even with the new members, Sponge still puts on a fantastic show

@slipknotlyrics Well actually Slipknot is one of my favorite bands...I was talking about the crap they play on 'popular' radio.I also like Disturbed,CKY,AFI,and others.Peace buddy.

@catwoman34 ,I don't even like Slipknot...not anymore at least,this is my cousin's account. I'm actually a huge Alternative Rock fan,that's what I started with. It just offends me that most Rockers that love Grunge,don't like Alternative bands today...which I have no problem with,I just don't see how someone could Love Grunge music,but hate the following bands that were Influenced by those Grunge bands. It's kinda sad if you think about it.If it wern't for Grunge,God knows what we'd have today.

I totally agree with PKP405 and Gizmo 524..and in all fairness to young music lovers today..MTV is partially to blame. It isn't selling true talent that just might be out there! Kids are only being fed stupid $h!t like jersey shore. I have the OLD MTV to thank for introducing me to Sponge :)

@trippiehippie7
The main problem with MTV is that the forgot that they are Music network. The last couple of years I witnessed MTV en Espanol, a great music channel that played a diverse mix, turn into a Shitty and Appeasing Garbage like MTV 3! Regretfully great music these days can only be found on the Internet and strictly searching outside of the mainstream.
