you would not believe how good this song sounds cranked up on a car stereo in the auto section at Walmart during midnight shift!!! LMAO It echoed so beautifully...even the dirty looks from the manager couldn't put a damper on my happiness!!!
They were definitely an interesting mix of genres. Most people really only know the song low but I think its a shame more haven’t heard this and especially the song teen angst. They had some good underrated tunes. Unfortunately for them they we’re essentially thrown into a decade where they had to compete with bands like pearl jam, nirvana, soundgarden, alice in chains, etc. not so much compete with them but when you see those band names its hard to really stand out in a decade where those bands blew up the world. Love the 90’s more than anything. A hell of a lot of amazing musicians and song writers. Without a doubt throw them into that mix
Unreal and what a man I’m sure your grandpa was. I sure wish I knew what was my pops? He like many fought and bled in ww2. God bless to all the good men of the world. The world sure knows we need them. Rock on brother 🤝
I’m here from the future of 2124. Someone from the next millennium said this song is on an all time song list of this millennium… adds up as far as I’m concerned!
My mom is 67 years old. She always loved music and grew up in a musical family. Listened to rock radio stations during her commute into and drive home from the city of Atlanta . One of my favorites for the drive and still have my Cracker CD’s someplace. Thanks for the memories.
What a great band - saw them in a tiny club in Hattiesburg Mississippi years ago. It was a stop over gig for them between Memphis and Gulfport . thought they might play for a hour and be on there way - they tore it up for about three hours. Thanks Dave and Johnny
OMG, just 'rediscovered' this gem! I first became aware of this song, and Cracker, when I was living in America in the 90s (I'm a Brit and back in the UK now, so I suppose I was a Eurotrash girl!). My boyfriend at the time was a manager of a music store on L.I. and I got lots of promo freebie CDs of American bands and singers I may otherwise not have heard of had I not been living there at the time. Cracker was one of those bands and Kerosene Hat was one of the CDs I as gifted by my then bf. I loved it!
2021 still missing the 90's. I recall being in Paris with my mom and crossing paths with this punk girl wearing all black with her family. We both turned to look back at each other, I was a 15 year old skater punk. Thought about her the rest of that trip and this song will always reming me of that moment in time.
That was me in Tel Aviv - I was 21 and saw this tall, slender girl with kinky hair. We looked at each other for a moment and then walked on. Then both glanced back.
Called my mom from a payphone, said I'm down to my last She said, "I put through college. Now go call your dad." And the waitress that he married, well she hung up the phone. You know, she never did like me, but I can stand on my own. Most relatable line in a rock song ever.
All these years later and this album rocks still !! Hidden tracks 69, to 99 what great music these Camper Van Bethoven's are. Great music video for the age, boy does lead singer ever look like Woody Harrelson. I sleapt in a park near Sneaky Dee's downtown Toronto, miss those crazy 90's nites
I totally agree. I saw them open for the Grateful Dead in Eugene in'93. They would have stolen the show if the Dead didn't play for a solid 5 1/2 hours of greatness.
Got to hear them open for Driving N Crying last night in Villa Rica GA, No matter where or when I see them I always have a great time. When Dave & Johnny rip some older material, I drift back 20 years in mind.
This was my Grandads favorite song between us. He was looking for a Euro-trash girl in France, 1944 and didnt find her. I got out of the Army and put this song on while we were drinking whiskey and he got a kick out of it. Before that he always was like "why do you gotta listen to that wierdo music?" While we were getting trashed he belted out with "yeah, i was looking for that same girl" We laughed our asses off. I didnt jave the heart to tell him I found her in a kinda disco night in Erlangen. He died the next year. He told me a lot of shit he never let anyone know at his bedside. Old soldier to new soldier.
Great track that brought me back to my time as a soldier in Europe from 18-23. 3 separate month long backpacking trips and falling love multiple times. This song 🎵 is my anthem. Thanks Cracker, this song is real for me. Man the Dutch girls in black were/are amazing.
This is such an understated performance, brimming over w coolness and Loser vibe. Love it. Never saw the vid til now. The models are amazing. Short teaser clips. Soooo titillating, w attitude. Thank u Cracker and RU-vid
I know I'm only 38... I looked up to you and still do. as a ethnic who appreciates your music and trajectory, I really got to say you influenced my childhood Thank you for the music that influenced me the most!
it was the time of no Internet (or it just started but so uncommon) and I remember I had to listen to the mix tape over and over again writing down the lyrics word by word! Ha fun time, more so than now that we can just Google it with million results. Loved the 90s!
This was the 1st song l heard from David Lowrey or Cracker rather. And then l fell in love with the band and still love the originality thats such a rare quality now days. David is so awesome and his guitarist....theyve stuck together.
Well I've been up to Paris And I've slept in a park Went down to Barcelona Someone broke in my car And I'll search the world over For my angel in black Yeah I'll search the world over For a Euro-trash girl Took the train down to Athens And I slept in a fountain Some Swiss junkie in Turin Ripped me off for my cash Yeah I'll search the world over For my angel in black Yeah I'll search the world over For a Euro-trash girl The CRS on the Metro Shook me down for a bribe On my knees for the sergeant When my passport arrived Yeah I'll search the world over For my angel in black Yeah I'll search the world over For a Euro-trash girl Euro-trash girl Euro-trash girl Euro-trash girl Euro-trash girl Called my mom from a payphone I said, "I'm down to my last" She said, "I sent you to college Now go call your dad" And the waitress that he married Well, she hung up the phone Ya know, she never did like me But I can stand on my own Sold my plasma in Amsterdam Spent it all in a night Buying drinks at the Melkweg For a soldier in drag And I'll search the world over For my angel in black Yeah I'll search the world over For a Euro-trash girl Euro-trash girl Euro-trash girl Euro-trash girl My Euro-trash girl Yeah I'll search the world over For my angel in black Yeah I'll search the world over For a Euro-trash girl Solo, Johnny! Got a tattoo in Berlin And a case of the crabs A rose and a dagger On the palm of my hand And I'll search the world over For my angel in black Yeah I'll search the world over For a Euro-trash girl Euro-trash girl Euro-trash girl Euro-trash girl (Yeah) Euro-trash girl Yeah I'll search the world over For my angel in black Yeah I'll search the world over For a Euro-trash girl
I saw her in Florence last week. It was terrifying. I lost my breath. Everything about her screamed, "let me ruin your life!". She was absolutely amazing . I wanted to run after her! Thank you for your effort. It was already indelibly etched.
I just saw you guys in san jose music in the park! It was an amazing show, thanks for the music! I've never seen so many people so happy--especially middle-aged people still in their work uniforms just rockin out to this! It was awesome, thanks for bringing happiness to the people!
My Eurotrash Girl moment. January 93. She was shooting up in a deli in Prague. 6 days after they peacefully divded up the Country. Every one seemed to have hope except her.
+Mysstterious M Damn this song is nice, I'm impress every time I listen it **(I could say so much more but these 2 comments summarizes very well the back of my mind)
Just got this texted to me; "Let me assure you.... The years of shedding tears sitting alone at parties staring at the speaker.... Still, to this day, I cannot get thru this song without breaking up. I cry every single time. crying over you....this song and a few others got me through it all. I'm not joking, this song means the fuckin world to me. Now probably isn't the best time, but my bestie sent it to me and asked about you, so here I am lol. 😎🤗🤘😁" I'm speechless Sept 2023
Love the bit with Johnny Hickman giving blood! Believe this is how he paid for that beautiful Les Paul of his. Nice work Johnny & great song Mr Lowery, as always!! Love John (John P-90)
Got a tattoo in Berlin (and a case of the crabs). A rose and a dagger on the palm of my hand. And I'll search the world over for my angel in black. Yeah, I'll search the world over for a Eurotrash Girl.
I was in Stutgart Germany the first time I heard this. If he would have asked I could have told him she worked at the house of 3 colors in Stutgart ROFLMAO the stories I could tell. Good times in the fatherland.
This was hidden track 69 on the cd, which I only learned when I dozed off after listening to it one night in 96? Or so. I saw them on this tour in the local opera house, for sure the best sounding rock band I’ve ever heard.
