Question
Hi!
Looking for the song which is played in the beginning after the Walshes have decided to let Carla use their adress. So when West Beverly appears. Got one answer that it was Let's go deeper by MC Hammer but that is not the one. Perhaps they have altered the soundtrack. The song is more Sting than MC Hammer..
Would be much appreciated if you could help.
Thanks,
Albert
Hi Albert,
The song that plays in this scene for the broadcast/syndication run of "East Side Story" (1.14) is certainly "Let's Go Deeper" by MC Hammer. It has been changed for the DVD release, like so many other songs in S1.
I picked up on a few of the lyrics and did an internet search. However, I couldn't find the title. Here's as far as I got:
"I know that I exaggerate over little things,
I know I overanalyze.
Don’t you know I’m tryin' to simplify, but ..."
(later) " ... Think I’ll go/I’m goin' against the grain."
" ... Be myself, you know it ain’t that hard."
(in main chorus) " ... Instead of complicating things that ain’t confusing."
It sounds a bit like R&B/Neo-soul to me. Just a bit. I wouldn't rule out the possibility that the song is very recent. I had a good laugh watching the pilot episode scene in which Brenda (now) enters a club that's playing a hip-hop song that doesn't sound like it was made around 1990 at all.
Also, they could have easily used music that's virtually royalty-free and obscure. I'm sure many up-and-coming (but as yet completely unknown) artists would jump at the chance to have their work on the soundtrack and/or be compensated.
Answering this question, I did discover that "I Like You" (Culture Beat) is replaced by "Disco MF" (Penfifteen Club) in Brandon and Karla's dance sequence at the rec center.
I wonder what will become of the 'Rolling Stones episode' and all those scenes with cutaway shots to popular artists at the Peach Pit After Dark ...
Thanks for the question, and good luck lyric-searching!
All the best,
Mel

Expertise
Can Dylan solve quadratic equations? What makes up a "mega-burger"? If an answer exists, I probably know it. Whether your question is general, begging the context of all 10 seasons, or completely inane, feel free to drop me a line either way. I will provide episode reference numbers for each response and plan to have some fun with this. Trivia quizzes often need correction, and publications will get their plotlines/characters/relationships mixed up too. I accept dialogue/scene requests, but please limit your inquiry to 1-2 per question. I only know music from the original broadcasts/reruns, not the DVDs. Been a fan since 1990 and didn't miss a beat.
Experience
Well, I began watching "Beverly Hills, 90210" at the tender age of 9 and a half, during its original run. By 11, I was a huge fan; 13, obsessed; 14, growing bitter. I don't like S6 - S10 as much as Seasons 1 - 5. But, technically, I still watch all of them in some way. Do this for 20 years and you'll remember the darndest things.

Education/Credentials
I'd like to say I've earned a "degree" on the life and times of the original eight, with specific concentration on Seasons 1 thru 5, any Jack McKay drama, Dylan/Kelly together or apart, and the guest stars of 1992-1994. Season 4, I think, was the best and strikingly different from any other. My only weakness might be later-season 'stand-in' characters like Matt and Noah, and the ever-changing ownerships of The AfterDark.
