The Cranberries - "When You're Gone"

Twenty years ago, there were stores that would (gasp!) sell music and would even allow you listen to compact discs before purchasing them.  One such store was called Blockbuster Music.  I recall sitting down at the Merrillville, Indiana Blockbuster Music and listening Dolores O'Riordan's soft vocals compliment the perfectly airy ballad "When You're Gone" in what is one of my favorite forgotten songs from the 1990s.  My friend, John, was also seated near me listening to music.  John was fooled by the volume of the music pumping through his headphones when he decided to lean over and let one rip.  The sound of his farting soon captivated quite a few people at that Blockbuster Music store.
