personally, i think one of life’s biggest mysteries is why the 4 Non Blondes song is called “What’s Up” when they clearly say “What’s Going On” repeatedly. this is why i never sleep.

Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On" from 1971 is one of my all-time favorite songs.
Blondes' "What's Up" is actually my LEAST favorite song of all-time -- easily #1 on that list. Make me wanna stab my ears witk kebab skewers.
“ Those creatures jumped the Barricades, and have headed for the sea.. she began to breathe..
To breathe at the thought of such freedom..
Stood and whispered to her child
“belong”….
It's my favorite song to get other songs out of my head before I sleep. Sweet Caroline? Destroyed by "What's up?" Achy Breaky Heart? Destroyed by "What's Up?" Ice Ice Baby? You guessed it. Beaten by "What's up?" Saved me from the inability to sleep from any other stupid earworm.
Here is my theory as someone who has been in bands: they shortened the name for the set list and then it stuck before they recorded it. Or they were trying to set it apart from the Marvin Gaye song of the same name.
I gotcha here..... Simply replace the PG / radio friendly version "whats going on?" with what they are actually saying "WTF?" and you should hopefully sleep better. ,
This was a compromise between the record label and the artist. Linda Perry's original working title for the song was - a chin up head movement in passing followed by a wink.
This song is the ringtone on my phone. I’ve kept it for 20 years because it annoyed my children.🤣 Now every time they’re out and a cover band plays it, they record it, with them singing along, and send it to me. I love it.
