The line “I believe you can’t control or choose your sexuality” in Savage Garden’s “Affirmation” hit me so hard the first time I heard it I nearly cried. This was 4 years after the album was released, but I didn’t listen to "secular" music until I was 19.
Listening to Savage Garden made me want to find the origin of the “chic-a-cherry cola” in “I Want You”.
Someone in 2004 answered, “It's an artificial food product related to Chickity China (the Chinese chicken), but with less MSG.” 🤣
