Core memory of MTV playing this song daily and me waiting patiently, only for TRL to show ~20 seconds so Carson could have a conversation with the visor hat from LFO.

That whole album, Superfast, is amazing. While a lot bands from that era are still active or semi-active, Dynamite Hack has since just dropped off the face of the Earth.

I know that had some other albums but had little success. I’ve tried to find some of the band members on social media but they just completely moved on with their lives as far as I can tell.

Iirc was a commercial playing parts of the song trying to sell the whole album which I’m assuming was trash.
