Easily my favorite by them and one of my all-time favorites. The lyrics aren't anything spectacular, but they work incredibly well with the uptemo playfullness of the song. Sort of reminds me of "This Love" by Maroon 5.

#1 song of the year 1993 on AT40. This was one of my favorites when I was younger. Still like it.

My favorite song from them and one of my favorites from the early 90's.

I found it very annoying when it came out, but now that I hear it sometimes, I don't mind listening to it.

Hands down better than their other hit "Little Miss Can't Be Wrong".

Easily my favorite by them and one of my all-time favorites. the most overplayed song of the 1990s. You're kidding, right? |

I loved this song! It took me a couple years to find out who did it and what it was called.

I still love this song.
At one time, it held the record for the longest run on the Hot 100 Recurrent chart.

It was really overplayed when it was released.

Tennis was never the same after these guys came around.
At least for me.

I liked it and still do, though not quite as much as Jimmy Olsen's Blues, which is my favorite SD song.

This was slightly better than "Little Miss Can't Be Wrong"; although I found the lyrics in that song to be rather entertaining.
I was rather surprised when I saw "Two Princes" on Billboard's AC chart in 1993; but then I realized that it came during the time when the AC chart used Soundscan for the 1st time, and they combined regular AC songs with Adult Top 40 songs. July '93 to March '96 saw some interesting songs on the AC chart that you wouldn't normally expect to see on that "lighter" format.

Seriously, this is only to me, one of the worst songs of all-time, if not of all-time. So much of it just make me wants to kill myself:
- After the chorus (the be-boo-bi-bop, skibbidy bee bop)
- How much it was played
- Repetitive.
For whomever compared this to "This Love" by Maroon 5 would be like comparing My Heart Will Go On by Celine to When You're Gone by Avril Lavigne.

Great song. It did get overplayed pack in the mid 90's, but now I enjoy hearing it.

I still love this song. At one time, it held the record for the longest run on the Hot 100 Recurrent chart. It spent 116 weeks on the Hot 100 Recurrent airplay chart, after spending 29 weeks on the Hot 100. What's the new record? |

You know, I did not like the song until it was falling on AT40. Oh well, it was overplayed or what not. Even when I was in the radio studio in school, the students would kill this even before it hit #1. I could remember this being on that red labeled CHR TM Century disc that the school provided us. Anyway...the song hit #1 on the Mainstream charts (BDS) for seven long weeks and not once did it hit the top spot on R&R. I have to tell ya the playlist thing believe it or not really sucked. It was not an accurate reflection of what was really popular to say the very least. I know this because KDWB's playlist was phony as all ghett out back then..

Love it! I just heard it on the Sarah Silverman program a while ago last year...maybe a couple of years ago...but it was just on.

I loved it to death in early 1993, and I still have the Pocket Full of Kryptonite CD somewhere. Now I don't mind if I hear it on the radio, but I don't feel the need to play it myself.
