The "name that tune" series with a twist. Can you reconstruct the original lyric after translation through half a dozen languages and identify the song?
I'm stumped! Something about the band's description and the love/striving angle of the lyrics made me think of Live or Goo Goo Dolls. I checked out on mainstream alt-rock by then so I'm grasping for straws. ;-)
Congrats, Kristin! I would have never gotten this one. In fact, the one I did get I think was a unicorn as I’ve never gotten even a whiff of an answer ever since! Mark, I think for the next incarnation, you should do a video version, where you just hum a couple bars, or maybe use a kazoo, of a song and we have to guess it. Like Name That Tune. Yes, I agree it’s a brilliant idea.
🤯 this whole time, I’ve assumed you have taken a stanza, so when I’m checking lyrics if there isn’t a stanza with a matching number of lines I move on 😂 I can’t say that I’ve ever looked at the correct song though! The few I may have had more of a chance with, others beat me to it 😂
Could it be Aussies, Taxiride, "Get Set"? Released in '99, it hit #36 on the U.S. Alt Rock chart. Please say 'yes'! One of 'em subscribes to me!
Sorry Brad, that’s not it!
😢I'll try to pick up the pieces and move on😊........Thanks, Mark!

Tried to tackle this earlier and came up empty. Giving it another go here shortly!
I don’t think I’d be able to guess/track this one down so will share in the hope someone will come through with the right answer!
After the hint- Sublime -wrong way? Or what I got?
Woohoo! We have a winner! It is one of those songs!! But which one I wonder?
Ok, it’s definitely What I Got
“It all comes back to you, you're bound to get what you deserve
Try and test that, you're bound to get served
Loves what I got, don't start a riot
You'll feel it when the dance gets hot”
Woohoo! It is INDEED “What I Got”! Well done!!

Ooh going to say Wrong Way
What I got doesn’t have any 4 line stanza groups 😂
I’m not necessarily pulling entire stanzas from songs so don’t rely on that!

Yeah I do try and go with full stanzas but sometimes I don’t. Great job getting the artist and song!
I am familiar with a lot in this genre/timeframe, but nothing is sticking out to me.
