"Truly Madly Deeply" by Savage Garden



VERSUS

"Abracadabra" by Steve Miller Band

I first heard "Abracadabra" from the Sugar Ray cover, which sounds exactly like the original but with DJ scratches. I like this song, it's goofy.

The Savage Garden song transported me immediately to my childhood, because that song was EVERYWHERE when I was a kid. I remember the girls in my class putting together a choreography to it for the school talent show. It's so fucking corny. The beat is pure mid-late 90s "spa pop," and that Spanish guitar solo sticks out like a sore thumb.

Haha look at the single cover art



"Abracadabra" takes this one easily

Truly Madly Deeply to spite Jorge

I didn’t really vote for Truly Madly Deeply

Or did I?????????

I've never heard Abracadabra before, but it easily gets my vote here over that awful Savage Garden song, which I feel like I still hear all the time. It came out when I was in high school and it was just everywhere.

Cousin Steve.

These saccharine 90s love songs and R&B tunes have not aged well at all (not that this one was ever good).

Easy choice in favor of the 80s.

Fuck Savage Garden

I generally hate Steve Miller's work, but I'll take this song over that Savage Garden track.

Both are poor.

I wanna reach out and grab ya.

Both are pretty bad but the savage garden song is offensively boring.
