the grungy "dun dun da dunna dun da dunna da da ... yeah" song from the 90s

Song. Early to mid 1990s. On the UK radio all the time, especially Atlantic 252. Vaguely grunge sounding, with a "dun dun da dunna dun da dunna da da" guitar riff, followed by a pause, then a quiet/bored sounding "yeah". What was it?

Best answer: Shine by Collective Soul?

Well, Smells Like Teen Spirit has the 'yeah'.

Response by poster: Why yes, sinfony, 'twas that! The very song that played last century when ms scruss and I were a-courting.
(and I've never heard the last bit, 'cos Atlantic 252 used to radio edit the radio edits.)

Could have been worse - the "rock radio" station where I was growing up edited farting noises into the pauses. This was considered the height of humour at the time.

It's still the height of humor if you ask me.
