Every morning there’s a halo hanging from the corner of my girlfriend’s four post bed

This is such and upbeat song with such a dark undertone 😳
NubiaMain@reddit
Just cheating right? I never thought about it.
burf@reddit
It is, but I think for 90s hits with that description, Semi Charmed Life probably wins.
Skore_Smogon@reddit
That's the happiest self hate song I've ever heard.
pardonmyignerance@reddit
Never even thought about what any of it meant until this post. 25 years later, I'm like "what the fuck?"
Dry_Inspection_4583@reddit
I'm sorry

Thanks for the freaking earworm now stuck in my head😂
cruisethevistas@reddit (OP)
I figured if I had to suffer, you all should too 🤣
onomonapetia@reddit
Do you remember Lamb Chop’s “This is the song that never ends…yes it goes on and on my friend…”
That’s the worst.
cruisethevistas@reddit (OP)
goddamn you
onomonapetia@reddit
You’re welcome 😂

So I recently found out the halo he is talking about is a used condom from her cheating on him.
Defiant_Cookie_4963@reddit
I thought I heard Mark McGrath confirmed someone’s theory that halo = strap on (for pegging)?
mundoid@reddit
It was the '90s I don't think "pegging" was a thing.
PM_ME_YR_KITTYBEANS@reddit
Technically, you’re right. Let me explain: - Using - People are interpreting your comment as meaning that the act of pegging (a woman penetrating a man with a strap-on) was not taking place in the 90s. Obviously, this is false. - However, it is true that the word “pegging” was not used in the 90s, because Dan Savage coined the term in 2001.
mundoid@reddit
Thanks.
Defiant_Cookie_4963@reddit
Yeah, people definitely only started having anal sex in 2023. /s
Nwcray@reddit
There’s nothing new in sex. If people do it now, they did it then and before.
bcentsale@reddit
I don't know if it was called that, but I can confirm that it definitely was a thing 🤣
mundoid@reddit
yeaaaaah nah.
WhoIsThatDork@reddit
Neither that nor the condom rumor:

Gian_Luck_Pickerd@reddit
Who the fuck leaves a used condom on a bedpost? Gross.
FlimsyTry2892@reddit
Someone left one on my kid brother’s windowsill during a party circa 1998.
TheDevil-YouKnow@reddit
Yeah? Well I bought Van Halen one it was the best damn record I ever owned! TG&Y, 1978.
Own_Wonder_5375@reddit
Might as well jump!
Dusty-Staccato@reddit
Did that two hand tapping guitar technique get you off?
JoeNoHeDidnt@reddit
I assumed it was about a couple where both of them are cheating and they sort of know it but don’t acknowledge it. Which is why he borrows the halo for a weekend or a one night stand.
Minnow_Minnow_Pea@reddit
I thought he was borrowing the bed. 🤦🏼♀️
ebolakitten@reddit
Oh wtf gross
Smurfblossom@reddit
That is soooo gross. I really wish I didn't just learn this.
freezinginthemidwest@reddit
Wow ok, the lyrics make sense now!
bcentsale@reddit
She says it's not mine but I see if I can use it for the weekend or a one night stand.
Candid-Jellyfish-975@reddit
Couldn't understand...
grrlmcname@reddit
How to work it out...
Candid-Jellyfish-975@reddit
Once again as predicted left my broken heart open and you ripped it out.

Something’s got me reeling

Stop me from believing

Turn me around again

Said that we can do it…

You know I wanna do it again

PBnBacon@reddit
Sugar Ray says
LikelyLioar@reddit
I know this is nuts, but I always thought this song was about a woman who would hang her diaphragm over her bed post each morning. That was the halo--her diaphragm.
bcentsale@reddit
Elaine?
LikelyLioar@reddit
No, but I'm guessing she's awesome.
bcentsale@reddit
It was a Seinfeld bit. Jerry's dating a very traditional girl, and pretending to share the values, and Elaine is going on and on about her sex life and emphasizes the word "diaphragm" multiple times. The way your comment was worded made me think of the episode.
LikelyLioar@reddit
Because it flew out of her purse at that crazy party where she bought the hair clip! Of course!
Admittedly, that song came out when I was a teenager watching a lot of Seinfeld. I was just telling my partner yesterday that Elaine is one of my life's role models.
Maybe I'll get a diaphragm after they yank the pill off the market.
bcentsale@reddit
Yah you've missed the sponge by a few decades 😞
Scrotchety@reddit
Listening to this stoned out of my gourd while trying this mouth-watering new thing from Taco Bell called a CHALUPA 🤤
Thomisawesome@reddit
I was singing this lyric over and over yesterday morning just got stuck in my head.
I think I passed it on to you.
cruisethevistas@reddit (OP)
you definitely did!
QueenSqueee42@reddit
God damn it. Now it's loud in my brain for the rest of the night.

QueenSqueee42@reddit
🤣
seth928@reddit
I can get it out!
With their tanks and their bombs, And their bombs and their guns, In your head, in your head, They are crying.
In your he-ad, in your he-ad Z-ombie, z-ombie, z-ombie
bcentsale@reddit
You haven't truly experienced this song until you've walked in on a basement full of drunk Filipinas singing it for karaoke.
QueenSqueee42@reddit
Thank you! 😂
Picklopolis@reddit
Worst. Song. Ever. Hands down.
WhoIsThatDork@reddit
I'm dubious that's even the worst song of 1999, since I'd like to point out that Limp Bizkit's "Nookie" was released the same year...and I consider Limp Bizkit to be the death of 90s music. They took the two most notable parts of 90s music (gangsta rap and grunge), hollowed them out, and combined them into soulless fodder.
DougNuggs@reddit
Are we forgetting "With arms wide open" came out that year. 😐 Sorry to bring it up. I know we're just trying to have fun here.
Picklopolis@reddit
Excellent points, however, I rest my case.
Klutzy-Delivery-5792@reddit
Ugh! Of all the bands of the 90s, this is the one I can't stand the most.
GuybrushBeeblebrox@reddit
Geez same! I loved all the alternative stuff, then this band broke in. The lead singer turned out to be a douche as well
jralll234@reddit
I hate that song so much!
xmadjesterx@reddit
Have you seen the video where someone calls Mark McGrath "Sugar Gay?" I laugh every time that I watch his reaction
Roscoe_P_Trolltrain@reddit
You dont just wanna fly?
Havering_To_You@reddit
Sell out gets used a lot as an insult when it's undeserved. Sugar Ray is the rare band that deserves it.
GM_Nate@reddit
oh god i thought it was just me
jambr380@reddit
I saw Sugar Ray at Universal Studios 3 times.
I like how their first album was mostly a SoCal skate punk album except for Fly. And they only added that song at the end as an extra. Then they admittedly totally sold out and it worked out extraordinarily well.
I actually respect it and appreciate McGrath’s attitude today. Dude is actually pretty cool.
HeyYoEowyn@reddit
I’ve done a couple gigs with him and I can honestly say he’s one of the nicest dudes to work with. He learned everyone’s name, even the sound guys, came in, did his job perfectly, took a shot with the band and crew and then got on a plane home to his kids, all with a smile on his face and a great fucking attitude. I don’t give a shit what anyone says about him, love that guy
jambr380@reddit
That’s awesome. That’s exactly how he comes off, so I’m glad to hear it.
Kit10phish@reddit
I love to hear it!
AtFishCat@reddit
I mean - that abracadabra cover… never understood that one on the album. I did like the rest of it tho.
slothbuddy@reddit
I went to their website in 1997 because of Fly and was so confused it was an animated mosh pit with some hardcore music playing. That was when I learned bands can make more than one kind of music
reznxrx@reddit
I grew up on my dad's Beatles records, so I actually hated when bands just kept sounding the same. I think it's why I got into jazz so much as a teenager.
Also, nine inch nails.
tcpnick@reddit
This is why I appreciate Radiohead.
z0mb0rg@reddit
Goo Goo Dolls’ A Boy Named Goo was actually a pretty competent punk album that happened to include “Name,” made popular by Friends, and the rest is history. And nobody believes this!
happyhippy27@reddit
Punk album?
Aggressive-Flan-8011@reddit
He was in the "hey dude the 90s called" podcast and I was so impressed with his perspective about his career and life. It was a much better interview than I expected.
OrcOfDoom@reddit
Was that their first album? I thought they were around before that.
I know they were on the road rash soundtrack. Was that after that album or before?
jambr380@reddit
Yeah, that was stupid of me to say. I more meant once they broke into the mainstream. They were definitely around for a few years before that
OrcOfDoom@reddit
It was odd for me when that song came out. I knew them from the escape from la soundtrack too. I don't remember that song being that good. Blame by gravity kills was the track. But I remember sweet home California and mean machine from road rash.
Fly was a catchy song though.
the805chickenlady@reddit
Lit was like this. The first song I heard of theirs was "Bitter," and then "My Own Worst Enemy," came out and it didn't sound like the same band at all. Lit, though, cool dudes.
HoGyMosh@reddit
I was sixteen when this was released and had a four post bed. I dumped my dickhead (21 year old) boyfriend and he asked me to reconsider cos he couldn't listen to this song without crying.
Hard no, you fucking paedo...anyway hadn't thought of this in years and now stuck in my head, thanks for that...
Agile_District_8794@reddit
F you.
cruisethevistas@reddit (OP)
It was in my head so I had to share 😆
anOvenofWitches@reddit
2 hits. Two hits and he got to punch a photographer trying to get Madonna
rangeghost@reddit
Three hits.
You're probably forgetting "When It's Over" because it sounds like it's just an extension of "Every Morning."
Cool_Dark_Place@reddit
Lol...he must've thought he was Sean Penn for a moment
Ok_Percentage5157@reddit
Holy cow, I just heard this on the radio while waiting to pick up my wife at the airport. Now THAT'S stuck in my head the rest of the night.
tanank08@reddit
I bought the tape that had fly on it. Didn't know any of their other songs. It was like track 3 fly. So I turned up first track super metal. At Christmas with whole family around. Was expecting the heavy. It was awesome
Northern_Lights_2@reddit
Noooo…. Took me 25 years to get that song out of my head. It was everywhere!
Emergency-Pack-5497@reddit
"Sugar gay!"
mist_kaefer@reddit
Saw them live before this album came out. They killed it! Floored was so good.
lunalore79@reddit
Shut the door baby, don't say a word...
Ateallthepizza@reddit
Absolutely love this song.
Cael_NaMaor@reddit
I've always wondered what she's doing to kill that many angels...
