Your Daily ’90s, When Soundtracks Were Awesome Part 3: The Flys - “Got You (Where I Want You)”
Hey, remember “Flagpole Sitta” by Harvey Danger? It was the best jam on the Disturbing Behavior soundtrack!
NOPE.
“Flagpole Sitta” was indeed featured in the movie, but, alas, it was not on the soundtrack to Disturbing Behavior. Look it up, if you need to, but, you know, I’m right. If it was on the soundtrack, I wouldn’t have had to ask for the first Now That’s What I Call Music! compilation disc for Christmas ‘98.
The whispery part: Earlier that fall, when we saw the trailer for Disturbing Behavior on the VHS copy of Scream 2 that we rented several times from Movie Gallery, I convinced my best friend Mitchell (who is no longer my friend - he knows what he did) to buy the Harvey Danger album. He lost (he bought Where Have All the Merrymakers Gone, which had one good song) and I won (the NOW disc also included Marcy Playground’s “Sex and Candy” and K-Ci and Jojo’s “All My Life”).
This is the song that was the “single” from the Disturbing Behavior soundtrack. I know this because it was the song that played over the advertisement for the soundtrack, which was between the trailers for the other shitty Dimension-produced films and the feature presentation. The sad thing, though, is that I’ve always thought it was the same song as Imperial Teen’s “You Hoo,” which was from the Jawbreaker soundtrack. 1999, you guys: heady days.
I don’t have a lot to say about this because, like most songs by bands who are BARELY one-hit wonders, it’s just not that good. But: they rap during the bridge, which always makes me LOL. Bravo, The Flys.Today in ‘When Tyler & Jolie Bicker About the 90s in Front of the Internet Like Old Lesbians’: How - HOW TYLER, HOW??? - could you confuse this song with “Yoo Hoo”???
1. This song is amazing.
2. Imperial Teen is a pretty good band. I own two albums and thusly am qualified to say this.
