that "i like cold beverages" song was pretty big, at least in Boston
Pretty sure thats the "hit". Was there another one?
Most people wouldn't know he hasn't stopped touring since.
Puts on a great show too.

Mine has to be Blind Melon...both their proper records are pretty fantastic.

Is there a better Blind Melon song?
Favorite Blind Melon songs (no particular order):
Tones of Home
Change
No Rain
Galaxy
Vernie

Vernie might be my number one.

Was “Baby’s Got Sauce” a hit? G. love got some play in my circle of friends back in the 90s and early 00s. There are probably a number of songs that I thought were hits but that was just because my friends played them.

Truth.
My favorite G Love song was called “Parasite”. It was from the Electric Mile album. I saw G Love and Special Sauce on tour for this album. My buddies and I went backstage after the show and met the band. I got my backstage pass autographed by all three members (I think I had an album signed too). I think that was in 2001. I probably haven’t heard a single G Love song in at least a decade now, and I honestly can’t quite remember how my favorite song went. It’s been a looooooooooong time.

Was this a hit in the US? Cool
I can't hear it without thinking of this classic Gina Riley parody:
The Divinyls had a great career here in Oz - here's their best if not most popular song:
