This Song Was Extremely Popular - Tumblr Posts

I was watching this commercial block today to jog my memory about what in the hell was going on in 1997 and how much I remembered of that year.

When that Walmart Media Center commercial came up I finally realized that as someone who grew up in the 1990s, I may one day have to explain to youths how and why a song about a woman committing serial arsons cracked the Billboard Top 10 in the summer of 1997.

Somehow this song along with Where Have All The Cowboys Gone also had more radio airplay than Spice Girls, Backstreet Boys and Hanson at the time.
