Flashback Friday: Presidents of the United States of America

I thought i’d take a turn from the jaded slacker music of the 90’s to something a little more upbeat, if not completely ridiculous. Today’s Flashback Friday is none other than the three-member Presidents of the United States of America doing their biggest hit, Lump, from their self-titled debut released on July 25, 1995.

PUSA had quite a few hit tracks off the album, including Boll Weavel, Peaches, and one of my personal fav’s, Kitty (on my foot and I wanna touch it). They released two more albums which received lackluster sales but high reviews from critics before breaking up in 1998. The members were involved in several solo projects and collaborations with other artists before finally reuniting in 2000, and launching their own record label in 2004.

Enjoy the video, and have a great weekend!

man, that whole album was so good…. I guess we should be glad they broke up before they sold out and started to suck… last I heard they were touring Portland & Seattle area dive bars with Sir Mix-A-Lot…

Baby’s Got Lump?

*shudder*

I actually saw Sir Mix-A-Lot perform in like 1997-98 during Spring Break in South Padre. I realized pretty quickly why “Baby Got Back” was the only hit song for him.
