Yes, I know that.
Read the post I quoted.
That Little Green Cars song was a huge hit.

I think "huge hit" is a stretch, it didn't chart within the top 50 here. Perhaps it was played on the radio a lot though.

Good episode this week, but Adele's 'Set Fire To The Rain' came out out in 2011 as opposed to 2012. Sorry I had to say it

Plenty of obscure music choices tonight, good to see camogie and ladies football finals included but i suspect they were edited in at the last minute after there exclusion from the previous 2 episodes was mentioned on social media and i think in a letter to the Irish independent.

I wonder if Sandy Hook will get a mention though. As horrific as it was, in an American context it was just another in a long line of needless shootings. Nothing was different after Sandy Hook, it wasn't a catalyst for change and had no long term implications, so I wouldn't blame them if they chose to leave it out.

So it did.

Christ, Obama's emotion in his speech afterwards really strikes a chord.

There's no way his successor would show such a human side.

I enjoyed the last two, but tonight's was dreadful.

Had you really never heard of Starships, though?

Guess Nova must have played Little Green Cars to death. I really don't enjoy them but it would explain why I know the song so well.

I do know the Nicki Minaj one. It's the Lisa Hannigan and Little Green Cars song I said I'd never heard of. Think wires are getting crossed here.

Nah you told me the Nicki Minaj song wasn't on it. It definitely was.

there are so many music to story matches in RITY 90s , has anyone got any favourites? mine would The Verve;Design for Life played over the Drumcree marches in 1996. so powerful, the drums in it almost match the drumming of the orange band clips, its as close to perfect as you will get, i play it for LC history when were doing the troubles in the 90s in NI

Whoever picks the music definitely has a sense of humour, I remember 'Take A Chance On Me' playing when there was a proposed nuclear plant and 'One Day At A Time Sweet Jesus' when Ian Paisley visited Dublin in the same seventies episode.

Also 'Complicated' by Avril Lavigne playing over the Saipan footage was an inspired choice.

That was always the point. It was never about playing the years top 10

Not sure about chart position but I remember Call Me Maybe, Somebody I Used to Know and that Little Green Cars song getting a lot of airplay.

I didn't? I'm well aware of the Nicki Minaj song, and it's inclusion in this episode. It was the very first song in tonight's episode.

I'm surprised nobody commented during the 2010 episode when the play CeeLo Green's 'F*ck You' over footage of Brian Cowen :pac:

The tone of the obviously a factor too, imagine they played 1 of Rihanna songs Rude Boy or S&M in the last 2 episodes ðŸ˜…ðŸ˜…

Well ya some of the songs were very popular but still usually fit the mood. The only song/band I honestly never heard before was Little Green Cars:John Wayne

Would be a pretty controversial choice for the Cloyne report alright

1998 the Omagh bombing had no music for a while and then Teardrop by Massive Attack started playing, very emotive

Not an artist I like but As I Leave Behind Neidin by Mary Black as it shows the masses of young people Emigrate in the 80s sticks in the mind

The Quinns made look worse than crooked FF politicians.

I'd forgotten that Rihanna scandal and Simon Harris looking like a schoolboy.

He still does and clearly acts like one, Leo's cringe enducing cameo on Harris"s tictok feed is an absolute embarrassment, jesus wept time for Simon to grow up, seriously.

Doesn't justify Harris behaving like a child does it?

Lovely song but I think "If You Tolerate This" by the Manic Street Preachers (which reached #1 that year) would have fit a bit better, what with its subject matter.

Funnily enough, Massive Attack have a remix of "If You Tolerate This".
