Hey, I remember this! I didn't remember Suzanne Vega actually being in the video, though.

You! Stop that! Stop banging on the cappuccino machine those are expensive.

I have a hard time figuring out how this could possibly be more 90's.

This is pure distilled 90s. Other non-sucky Vega songs:
99.9 Fahrenheit Degrees
Caramel
My Favorite Plum

Submitting a new link, because the one that's there now is 99% hiss.

If there is any song that shoudn't be broken by MP3 compression, it's this one: this is the song that, back when they were developing MP3 compression, was hardest to get right. Once they could get Tom's Diner sounding proper under MP3, they knew they'd pretty much nailed the algorithm. So Suzanne Vega is occasionally called "The Mother of the MP3".

This song's lyrics are maddeningly pointless; it doesn't even distinguish itself as a snapshot of a typical morning. It's a song about nothing, which I suppose is appropriate, since Tom's Diner is also the diner from "Seinfeld".
