Right Here Right Now

Right Here Right Now by Jesus Jones



One of the worst band names ever. Fact.

One of the more interesting songs about liberal democracy's victory over communism. Fact.

Okay, so this song doesn't have a ton going for it. It's dated: victory over communism is so passe, the opening bars of the song are cheesy, and there is an utterly pathetic bridge somewhere in there too. But hey, it's not every day that someone writes a song about the fall of communism, throws in a Bob Dylan reference, and then has such a catchy chorus that for the rest of time during any major event this song will be played during a montage. (Irony alert! Check this out about Soviet montage theory... who would have guessed?)

How much you wanta bet that NBC uses this during some Michael Phelps montage in the next week?

Listening to the song again, I now think it's underrated. Then again, I could see Pepsi using this in a commercial during the early 90s. So really... who knows... this song is too confusing. I'm going to move on before my head explodes...
