“What’s Up?” is What’s Up Again

what's up?

Linda Perry recently reunited with 4 Non Blondes to perform “What’s Up?” live together for the first time in twenty years. Fortunately, someone was there on Saturday, May 10, 2014 to capture on video the group at “An Evening With Women,” the Los Angeles Gay & Lesbian Center‘s annual fundraising event.

“What’s Up” is one of the most memorable songs from the 1990s. It first appeared on the group’s 1992 album, Bigger, Better, Faster, More! before being released as a single in 1993.

Do you recall why the song is called “What’s Up?” even though the phrase never appears in the lyrics? Reportedly, Perry chose the title instead of the chorus’s “what’s going on” to avoid confusion with Marvin Gaye’s classic song of that name. Anyway, check out the recent performance of the worldwide hit song.

Perry left 4 Non Blondes in 1994, but they still sound great together on “What’s Up?”
