Jonah Hill
First off, I was going to suggest "Datskat" since that is forever a 1995 song to me even though you'll see "nah, we recorded that in..." but the point is, I was going to suggest that or "Do You Want More?!!!??!" but since he's in MID90S, I'm choosing another song:

Foo Fighters' "I'l Stick Around"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_rTTsZZ9KE
REASON: Post-Nirvana, 1995 will always be the year the Foo Fighters came to being, or at least Dave Grohl finally unleashed the solo material he had been doing for years. For us in the Pacific Northwest, specifically those of us in the Tri-Cities, we got to see Nate Mendel in yet another band. From Diddly Squat to Christ On A Crutch to Brotherhood to Sunny Day Real Estate to being a Foo and for a lot of us, the first Foo Fighters single and video was a new phase for the Seattle music scene, as we were officially entering the post-grunge era. Anyway, I always hear "I'll Stick Around" as a 1995 song and for many of us in my part of Washington, it's where Nate went to a new, far more successful world. He was no longer just the punk who lived in Richland on Scot Street.




Charles Barkley
Public Enemy's "Rebel Without A Pause"

REASON: Because one can "throw it down your throat like Barkley". Extra bonus points for Ian Hendrickson-Smith to bite the reed for the entire song, Robert McCollough/grunt style.
