    tubthumping

    nyone remember this crappy song from the 90s?

    I was watchin an episode of Beverly Hills 90210 today and the episode had this song in it. I cant get it out of my head to save my life.

    what the fuck does tubthumping even mean? i tried wiki and all I got was some crappy bio on the band. I figured one of you geniouses would have known somethign about it, you know like trivia or some shit? no?

    NS, you should PM Rontele for the info you're looking for on this gem of a song. I'd send a few, sometimes he doesn't get them.
    I still call it The Jake.

    tubthumping?

    it's like a dirty shirley combined with a cleveland steamer, capped with a lucky pierre.

    Rontele can fill you in.

    SLOW DAY AT THE FRYER? :FM:
    Hey d-bag - here's something for you to think about: maybe (just maybe) not everybody here has their little panties in a wad 24/7 and flies into a rage whenever somebody disagrees with them. Maybe these same mags don't take this place uber-seriously. Maybe this even includes the vast majority of the people who post here as opposed to you and like 20 other thin-skinned douchebags. Just something to think about. -JER

    I get it, a Rontele reference to his day job right? i dont even know Rontele just seen his posts here and i really dont have a facking clue why everyone PMs him for all kinds of shit. Is he a mod or something?

    whatever, nyone know what the fuck this tubthumping song could possibly be about? there has to be a reason for it to be as popular as it was.

    I have absolutely no idea what the hell you're talking about.

    nyone know what the fuck this tubthumping song could possibly be about?
    I think it's about what we call "passion" not being some sort of emotional energy, but the friction between our souls and the outside world. I may be totally wrong - haven't heard it in a long time.

    Shazaam is this totally cool app you can get for your iphone and if you hear a song you like but dont kno it you hold the iphone up to the music and it will find out what the song is and whos singing it. i think youd like it.

    As for your definition of tubthumping i think you've come the closest to giving me an answer on what the fuck the meaning of it is. I'm still confused, and the other annoying songs that have been listed herre are now in my head as well. thanks alot assfaces.

    Since this useless knowledge will never be able to be used in any other way.

    I remember seeing an interview with the band on MTV where the guy that wrote the song said "tubthumping" was when someone in an pub has a loud drunken political diatribe or "spouts off" as he put it.
    Hard work pays off in the future. Laziness pays off now.

    Sweet blog.


    It's been around since the 1600's and has nothing, specifically, to do with pubs.
