Who remembers this smash hit from 1995-1996? It was really good, and though VERY short, I feel like it was one of those great mid-90s songs.

I remember this smash, and yes it was very good. The video was funny too with the guys playing babies being pushed in carriages by models.

I liked it too, and while it had so much longevity, the song being so short made it much more difficult to burn it out.

I liked the song, but I felt Del Amitri had much better stuff that never got recognized, so it was hard for me to get on board for the commercial hit. I liked it, but Kiss This Thing Goodbye is what I consider their signature song over this or The Last To Know.

Roll to Me is only 1 minute, 58 seconds long! Lol! I haven't checked, but I'm almost postive it's the shortest song I have as an mp3...it's even shorter than "Song 2". I'm sure "Roll To Me" is one of the shortest songs released in the '90s, if not the shortest. I think its short length makes the song even stronger...you don't get tired of hearing it. |

According to Rick Dees, "Roll To Me" has a playing time of 2:03. The shortest song that charted in the 1990's would be "Bizarre Love Triangle" by Frente!, which ran for 1:58 (maybe this is the song that Jeff was thinking of).

Awesome song from an awesome band. If you don't have the cd it is a must own. I saw these guys in Birmingham, Al and Roll To Me was played faster live than what it is on the record which made it even shorter! I heard that these guys lost their record deal last year. That's a shame because they are great! They also have a greatest hits album out that has all the great songs on it, Kiss This Thing Goodbye, The last to know, Roll To ME, etc.

Still like this one a lot... and since it's so short (barely 2 minutes), it's tough to burn out... and if you're playing dj and you're a couple of minutes behind schedule it helps you catch up real fast! ;)

I like it. It's one of the shortest songs to ever chart on CHR/Pop. The video for this is pretty hilarious!

I liked it, but Kiss This Thing Goodbye is what I consider their signature song over this or The Last To Know. Here And Now was also a signature song . I really like this , does anyone know whether this made it to #1 on the R&R HAC chart. It topped the BB Top40Adult chart at least. |

Awesome song! I do think the shortness of it made it a hit.

This is just okay for me. I used to hear this a lot on AC stations when this was out but didn't find out what it was called until later.
