When Trivia Hurts

K and I went out last night and spent at least ten minutes trying to remember the name of the group that sings "Little Miss Can't Be Wrong" (maybe that's not the title, but I'm calling it that). When I finally got it (hit me like lighting, it did) I called out "SPIN DOCTORS!!" and we both had a rush of excitement and giggled like little girls.

But I'm still stuck on the second piece of trivia, and I call on you, dear readers, to help me out. I will give you the same clues that I gave K, but she admittedly had absolutely no idea what the hell I was talking about. Yes, my clues suck, but it's all I have.

Kari, I think you might just be my victory lady.

It's a song from maybe 1998. It has a nonesense word in it somewhere, and I really dislike the song. Kari likes the song, I think. It is by a one-hit wonder band, and there is something about "pissing the night away" or something.

Oh! Oh! Here we go, more words just came to me right now: "I get knocked down, but I get up again, they're never gonna keep me down..."

Something like that. And then "pissing the night away" or "kissing the night away" or "fishing the night away"...

Help.

I win! I win! I win!

And I think it's "pissing the night away".

Oh, you SO win. Thank you.

Not really a one hit wonder band ... http://www.chumba.com/_backcat2.htm
