Pretty much related to Spilt Milk and if it´s from the late 90´s it can pretty well be its precursor as a prior version...

Basically it's a Spilt Milk version, with different lyrics and chorus...

I love this video -- whoever put it together did a magnificent job with the photos. The lyrics are a riot too. All-around winner, and better than the more sedate Spilt Milk, IMO.
