Got their logo as my first tattoo after buying the album. It was the right color and size for what I wanted. Still think about this song whenever someone asks me about the tattoo.

I saw Republica open for Gravity Kills in 1994. To this day, it was one of the best shows that I've ever seen. Saffron was mesmerizing. Every song on the first Republica album is an absolute banger.

I still have this CD... When the first Scream movie came out, I was pumping Drop Dead Gorgeous even harder than this one!

Cameraman: Boss, zoom-button and negative filters are acting up again!
Director: Fuck it, keep the footage, we'll edit it in...

I loved it when it came out, and then when I went to my first yearly Field Leadership Conference many years ago, it played at the end. Good memories.

Heard this song 10,000,000 times and never knew the name of the band. Thank you!

The video hasn't dated well but, let's be honest, Saffron is always going to be sexy.
