remember back in the '90s all the youth of europe wanted to frolic in London, no terrorism and no economic crisis, I think that decade will never return while I' m alive
Takes me back to 1996. I just finished Air Force Basic Training. I was waiting for a Greyhound Bus to take me to the airport for my first assignment. This song came on the MTV late night programming. The energy and pulse the song gave me, overcame my apprehension. Turned my anxiety to anticipation. Thanks Republica and MTV. I needed that jolt and i will never lose that connection to this song.
It was pretty huge in its day and I believe was the song at the end of Scream, an iconic (for a while) horror film. Their album wasn't that good though and Saffron didn't sound good live, so they kind of fizzled out.
Definitely a contender for most gorgeous 90's pop rock girl along with the girl from the Cardigans and Natalie Imbruglia. She was also a dance music singer for N joi

One of my favs from back in the 90s. Saffron was a gorgeous woman with attitude and I always saw Republic as successors to Transvision Vamp, with the same pop/punk style fronted by a stunning young lady. Unfortunately they only lasted a couple of years before dropping off the radar, although I believe they are still going. They should have been huge given the success of other female fronted pop/punk/rock bands around at the time like Garbage, Elastica, Hole and many others, Republica deserved to be right up their too.
I am from ex Yugoslavia. Was a kid in the early and mid teens in the 90s. Abusive father, powerty, wars in the region. I ain't missing ANYTHING about that decade... except the naivity of childhood and my perfect weight and jumping abilities.
I can't believe this song is 25yr old I remember when it was first in the charts . I have not listened to republica for years glad I stumbled across this song 😀😀
Bin on the Isle of Wight several Times in the 90th and loved screaming out this song while taking an walk on the seaside. Awesome! I'm 59 , German, and still love the Isle of Wight.
The blazing, quiet summer of 1996. Republica hit the airwaves like a storm, I still remember this on CD UK or some other Saturday programme and being amazed by it, rushing out to get the album.
I still love this song as much as I did when I was 15. How is that even possible? Some songs just age beautifully. And they’ve always done wonderful production work. I miss the bad-ass female fronted bands of the 90’s.. fortunately many of them are still going strong today. :)
Can't overlook Curve.... Toni & Dean were fcukin amazing 👏 Lush, Garbage, Skunk Anansie, Sneaker Pimps, Dubstar, Throwing Muses, Cranes, St Etienne plus The Sugarcubes and The Cardigans had been along beforehand . Can acknowledgement be given to Blondie, Siouxsie and the Banshees, plus Cocteau Twins who'd paved the way for all those bands. Debbie and Liz are still writing and performing in their 60s/70s.....
Yesssss Garbage is still one of my favorite bands of all time. And Tracy is phenomenal. Hooverphonic I became obsessed with at my very first concert at age 16 when they opened for Fiona Apple. Still love them to this day!
I follow this band across the country they never disappoint me. Totally energetic with their sound of electronics/ pop/ punk. I would totally recommend seeing them live. Their new music is fabulous! Quality band.
Esta es una de mis favs de los 90s, lo siento pero hasta “ready to go” se me podría quedar fuera de mi top 100 favoritas! Esta? Ni cagándo... la amo! 👏👏🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱
I just want to take a moment and praise this comments section…yes, the comments section! There is so much love here it’s incredible. Thank you guys for supporting each other and keeping the music alive. 💜
I thought she was the coolest chick I'd ever seen when I was little. Wanted to be her ... still want to be her. And that started my love affair with 90s power chicks, tank girl-esque, grungy, rock badass women!
If you dont mind a bit of Sludgy sounding Metal try a band called Pist on, their Bassist/Singer was a badass!! She wouldnt think twice about knocking a dude out
Saffron! I remember when this song came out in 1996! I was listening to The End in Portland, Oregon when I heard it. I was blown away immediately! This song 🎵 is one of the best songs ever recorded on Republica’s first multi platinum album! About a month ago I watched the original Scream movie 🎥 and literally flipped out when I heard Drop Dead 💀 Gorgeous! Wes Craven chose this song and made it Scream royalty! After the movie I found a brand new CD of them and bought it!
saw Republica live at The Phoenix Festival in Stratford upon Avon in the mid 90's. Stage 2 tent was empty, right at the front. What an amazing set they did. Memories.
YOU are drop dead gorgeous. Can not believe she wasn't much more popular. She exudes hot-ness, great voice, and really good band kickin it behind her. #femalemickjagger
