This week’s Boy Band Video of the Week is a goodie: “Chinese food makes me sick” has to win the award for Worst Pop Song Lyric Ever.
Lead singer Rich had some SERIOUS HIGHLIGHTS ACTION going on. I remember my guy friends in high school buying Clairol hair dye and asking for help frosting their tips, and for some reason, it didn’t seem weird.
It wouldn’t be a 90′s music video without the crowd-gathered-around-a-breakdancer scene.
Did you guess yet? It’s “Summer Girl,” aka, “Girls Who Wear Abercrombie & Fitch,” by LFO!
In case you haven’t been following, LFO lead singer Rich Cronin passed away in September 2010 after a long struggle with leukemia. RIP, Rich!
Did you rock out to this song in the 90′s, Lovelies?

I think “Scooby Doo snacks and pogo sticks” is the worst line ever.
BUT, “I stole your honey like I stole your bike” is the best.

They weren’t my fave but my song was girl on tv and I don’t wanna kiss you goodnight. The 90′s were the shit.

How have I never ever realized how terrible the lyrics were until.. well, until I actually listened to them.
God, why did people like this?But, aww, it is kind of good to reminisce =)

@ElizSutherland@xanga - haha, oh. Well I didn’t watch the video because I remember it (guess not as well as I thought). Whatever line has Scooby Doo snacks in it.. is stupid.

oh boy, did i ever rock out to this! i still love this song for how completely ridic some of its lyrics are:
“When you take a sip you buzz like a hornet/ Billy Shakespeare wrote a whole bunch of sonnets.” YES.
“I would call you but what’s the use? I like Kevin Bacon but I hate Footloose.” WIN.
“Like the color purple, macaroni and cheese/ Ruby red slippers and a bunch of trees.” LEGENDARY.
