Early 90s music might be tagging along with that.
The '80s didn't really end (or if you prefer, the '90s didn't really begin) until Nirvana broke through and what had been "alternative" became mainstreamed.
That's the thrill of living in the Hellmouth! There's a veritable cornucopia of fiends and devils and ghouls to engage ... Pardon me for finding the glass half-full.

Some store, maybe Target, used Baby Got Back to sell backpacks for school but changed the lyrics so they were about back packs.
I remember that- yeah, it was Target. I laughed and laughed. Often Tom and I talk about backpacks (we both use them daily, so locating or asking to grab sometimes comes up) he'll start singing that. Which also makes me laugh.
It also got me on the ball in listening to the original more often, as it had been a while. Good times.

There's nothing like getting a table of over 25 drunken people to harmonize badly about cowboys singing their sad, sad songs

Oh, I remember that. We talked about it here (shocker).

I think my favorite part is where he agrees with himself.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

DJ says what I would have, were I in here at the correct time.
We both lie silently still in the dead of the night.
Although we both lie close together, we feel miles apart inside...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I really need to memorise the whole spoken bit on the front of Baby Got Back. More than once I've let the side down in recitals.
More often the "Let's Go Crazy" intro should come up--I'm word perfect on that one. Jesse, msbelle, remember in some bar in NY when it came on and we recited and JD, calling himself a Prince fan, DIDN'T KNOW IT VERBATIM???
Good times, good times.
I think whatever song you're referring to with the rose is outside my ken. It puts me instead of mind of Bon Jovi. It's not Bon Jovi, is it?

Thrive to spite them
Every Rose is Poison.
Bon Jovi is Wanted Dead or Alive, Livin' on a Prayer, etc. Thrusday night at Ginger's several of us were earwormed with Bon Jovi beause of American Idol and we ended up watching Bon Jovi videos thanks to youtube. And discussing hair bands and how the hair distracted from the musicianship.

Ah. I missed most of the hairbands. I got to North America in '87. Hairbands were sorely missing in exports across the pond. I don't feel much of a lack--I associate the new, trimmed JBJ with the Bon Jovi songs from the period that I can remember.
