“Two Princes” (1993)- why was this the only hit from Spin Doctors

Terrible song then and now.

Little Miss Can't be Wrong is also good.

I prayed for the day I'd never have to hear this abortion of a song ever again.

Annoying, horrific, hideous song

They sucked bad

Oh god this song reminds me of the awful school dances we had and all the bullshit I had to endure in middle school.

This thread should've been a poll. Love, Hate, Eh.

God always answers our prayers, r3. His answer to you was NO.

No. Not everything needs a poll.

This song was all over the place in the early to mid 90s.

Now it's stuck in my head.

Go ahead now

Go ahead now

Go ahead now

Go ahead now

They looked like Phish but sounded like a pop band

Both of those songs were hits, weren't they? They both got major radio play back in the day. The oldies-type stations (radio and satellite) have both tunes on their 90s playlists.

The chorus has some of the laziest rhyming in the history of popular music.

They had at least three hits. Two Princes, Jimmy Olsen‘s Blues, and Little Miss Can’t Be Wrong.

First hit, second hit, flop, obscurity.

That's how it goes for most.

You'll be hearing that single on a PBS oldies show in 2040

It’s still played a lot on lite fm stations and on playlists for 90s hits

God I hated that band.

Fun fact: My best friend secretly loved them and he made me swear not to tell anyone in our very judge-y, very "cool", friend group. I told him fine, but he couldn't tell anyone that I secretly liked The Gin Blossoms.

We were 15, I think. Which cracks me up to think about now. But we kept each other's secret and we're still best friends, a million years later.

I thought "Little Miss Can't Be Wrong" was a fun little song, but I agree with R14 about "Two Princes." It's one of the laziest and most repetitive songs ever. Annoying as hell, especially with the extreme repetition of the lame chorus.

Lead Singer lost his voice.

OP is surely trolling.

Didn't realize the lead singer was briefly married to Broadway icon, Laura Benanti

Another extremely terrible song in the same vein was "Breakfast at Tiffany's."

I loved Two Princes, hated Breakfast At Tiffany’s, mostly because I liked the Spin Doctors singer’s voice and hated the tone of the Deep Blue Something singer’s voice.

"Two Princes" and "What's Up" by 4 Non Blondes are two of the most hated songs of the 90s. I love both of them.

I love Breakfast at Tiffany's too!

R1 nails it.

I love "Breakfast at Tiffany's," too.

I kinda-sorta remember the single review in Rolling Stone was something to the effect of "It's all hooks and no song."

I do think "Two Princes" is terrible, though.

Don't forget "Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm"

I hate this song so much

Mostly because they sucked

Breakfast At Tiffany's is one of the worst earworm songs ever.

I heard Breakfast At Tiffany’s on the 90s channel on the way to work this morning. It’s an earworm for sure but I always thought the words sounded like they were making shit up while jamming and never bothered to write actual lyrics

Deep Blue Something actually made good albums.

I'll see your "Breakfast at Tiffany's" and raise you one "Mambo No. 5."

Breakfast at Tiffany's is so lazy. Three chords throughout, gibberish lyrics, sections repeated for no reason.

But it does work as a song.

I liked them and Pocketful of Kryptonite. I didn’t really get the hate for them, and Nickelback.
