Actually, one of my favourite JA tracks is water-related: Up The Beach

Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me.

I’ve always enjoyed Jane’s Addiction’s song, Standing in the Shower, Thinking (And Pissing on Myself). That has two streams of water, so must be doubly suitable for this poll, no? 😜💧💦

To be honest, I hadn't even listened to the full song at the time of my piddling posting. It is quite crude, though funny, and I considered deleting it (I came to this site from a much cruder forum). I just thought it a rather amusing and interesting example when it came to TCat's "Anything water-based counts" statement. Considering my earlier post about micturition (Handle's Passing Water Music), it may have been a bit too much. Maybe I was just pissing in the wind, but it's all water under the bridge now. ;)

Incidentally, some people here are panheads, I'm more of a bedpan head. I could do with a splash of the amber nectar right about now.

Snicolette: Luno Rae with Contact Solution is a typical American singer/songwriter product to my ears, leaning to pop. Nice, but will not stick in my head for long.
  That was only to meet the challenge of finding a song about contact solution, not a serious potential entry. Smile

  Lorenzo, this one doesn't work for me, perhaps you can confirm or may not be able to, that this is the same?  It's 5:22 in length.

I've never heard this version. It's not the same. The arrangement of the original one is more sober and simpler and I like it a lot more. The problem is that I don't find any other videos.
  Video removed for space....I'll go back and see if I can find others, just for comparison, hopefully one will hit on the one you prefer.

did not know what Dave M was at first, but Dave Mathews Band is huge, I had a CD and I gave it to an American friend of mine, he'd listen to it more than I would. LOL

Not me personally. I'm not  a huge Dave Matthews Band fan myself. I'm sure it has a higher profile among the 'radio listener' friends I have.

This Canuck (Canadian) does not recognise the name of that song, and after playing it I don't remember it despite it sounding vaguely familiar. I wasn't really into the alt. rock/ pop rock kind of scene, didn't play much music radio, and while I like much more from that time now than I did then, that particular kind of music is still not really in my wheelhouse. At the time it came out I was in my full-on international art house film obsession mode and was mostly playing classical music, film soundtracks, and Kitaro when I did put on music.

From what I recall here in the States, it was the lead single from Before These Crowded Streets, so it got decent airplay on the radio but I don't think I would say it was very famous. I think the follow up singles "Stay (Wasting Time)" and "Crush" did better.

I would have thought so. It was helped by having Alanis Morrisette on backing vocals, I think. It was probably the song that broke the band in New Zealand (as much as the band ever made waves in New Zealand). It also has a kind of Tea Party vibe to it, which probably brought it to a larger audience, as well (even though The Tea Party are not as well known a band as DMB).

I was in the US when Crush was huge, and Crash Into Me was played on MTV pretty much every hour. I would be surprised if Don’t Drink the Water wasn’t big - but I guess I could be wrong.

Amos Goldberg (professor of Genocide Studies at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem): Yes, it's genocide. It's so difficult and painful to admit it, but we can no longer avoid this conclusion.

Raff: The Stranglers, another very well known band, but I don't think I ever heard this track, and I love it. Actually surprised to learn it is from one of their earlier albums - a curious mix of new wave, punk and something very sophisitaced. Nice choice!

The track is from their album "Black and White", which in my opinion is very proggish.

Nina Hagen was considered to be an opera prodigy at age nine and had training as an opera singer.
