Ever find yourself humming a tune, only to realize it's been stuck in your head for decades? "Two Princes" by the Spin Doctors is that earworm for an entire generation, a testament to the song's enduring appeal despite its seemingly simple structure. But is there more to this 90s anthem than meets the ear?

Released in 1992 as the second single from their debut album Pocket Full of Kryptonite (1991), "Two Princes" catapulted the Spin Doctors to international fame. It's a song many associate with the early 90s alternative rock scene, a time of flannel shirts and grunge. Yet, "Two Princes" stands apart, its upbeat tempo and catchy melody offering a stark contrast to the angst-ridden sounds of its contemporaries. The black and white music video, featuring Chris Barron sporting a ski hat and earmuffs, and Mark White portraying one of the titular princes, became a staple on MTV. The song quickly climbed the charts, reaching number seven on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and number three on the Cash Box Top 100, solidifying its place in pop culture history.
