10 Greatest Forgotten Songs Of The 1990s

10. The Flys - (Got You) Where I Want You

This minor hit from The Flys was the lead single from their 1998 album, Holiday Man. According to The Flys singer Adam Paskowitz, the song is about desperate attempts to pick up women in bars. Paskowitz said, "It's about a friend of mine who was in a bar with a gorgeous woman. He was trying everything to strike up a conversation and get her number. You get desperate in the company of women".

The lyrics weren’t exactly inconspicuous (I think you're smart/You sweet thing/Tell me your sign/I'm dying here). Musically, (Got You) Where I Want You has a classic, easy to enjoy, rock groove. The track reached #36 on the Billboard Top 40 and the Top 5 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart. It may be best known for its inclusion on the Disturbing Behavior soundtrack. Although it’s the band’s most successful song to date, it's been largely lost to the sands of time.

As of this writing, The Flys are on “indefinite hiatus”. The group released one final album in 2000, but never had another hit like (Got You) Where I Want You.
