3 minutes of pure joy from Blink 182! The original was recorded in ’99, and would have qualified as 90s if it had been released just 3 weeks earlier. This wonderful cover was released during the height of lockdown, and while I was in hospital. NGL it made me so happy I was all choked up.

Bonzi buddy was a desktop assistant released in ‘99..This is Peedy the parrot. He was significantly less annoying than that dumb paperclip, Clippy (for the last time, NO I am NOT writing a letter 😡) He would also sing cute songs for me. There was also a purple gorilla.
