Reply to comment by IntellegentIdiot in Holy shit is “Tom’s Diner” by Suzanne Vega & DNA so godamn good. by treeillusion

I love those docs. Watch the one they did on the Thong Song. Sure it's a song I never cared about, but it has a really entertaining story behind it. I have skipped the teenage dirtbag one because i hate that song so much. I should watch it.

I love Teenage Dirtbag and it was a huge hit at the time. Part of the documentary is about the "big in Japan" situation they found themselves in and part of it is how they made the song. I think I'd say it was great even if I didn't love the song. Honestly think it's the best one they've done. Also loved the Vanessa Carlton one, especially the producer that finally made the song work.

As for Top2000, I really liked the Plastic Bertrand one. I had no idea that it the person we thought was Betrand was just lip syncing.
