Party music that most everyone likes except a few currently listing now.

Can't follow anything this guy is singing, which is often an indication in my book that he is singing about little in particular. Haven't had this in Europe so much (although I have heard it somewhere), but I can see how it would get annoying after hearing it every day.

Reading comments though, doesn't seem like many listeners here 'support' this song...

I have NEVER understood what people saw in Popper's harp playing - he sounds like a hyperactive asthmatic fellating a short-circuiting Dyson vacuum cleaner.

I can see why this is on RP but given that it has been SO overplayed elsewhere ... solid 5 that may well fall to a 4.

This is the kind of song that Rachel, Ross and Chandler would listen to while whinning in high pitch nasaly voices about the horrors of having their lattes over-frothed - I keep hoping that the whole "Friends" era of music is just a bad dream!

at the risk of receiving a flag on the play for a late hit;

OVERPLAYED, now please bury it.

I guess there's one advantage to having lived in France during the 90s: I can't call this "overplayed," since I never heard it before.

But, like all Blues Traveler, it's best in small doses.

If this is the last time I hear this it's ok with me

After several months, finally a song that made me turn off RP (at least until it's over). One of the top 3 worst concerts I ever attended. I'm sorry, playing a harmonica really fast doesn't make it listenable....

:puke:


here, here .... this song is a 3 chord jam that goes nowhere

I can't give this a high rating, since I'm still reeling from when it got overplayed well over a decade ago, but I will admit that I do find John Popper to have an amazing voice. It's rare to see a male use a full range, tone and inflection, and while this song doesn't exhibit his talent well, it does show when you hear a bit more of their stuff.

After going a few years without hearing this, you would think I could handle hearing it and not thinking "this is sooooo overplayed." Apparently not.

Geez, Popper's voice is incredible. Plain and simple. A real, quality singing voice in the midst of so many other nameless and indistinguishable tenors of the pop music of our day.

I tend to agree with this poster. Also, for some weird reason, that harmonica at the beginning always reminds me of an old dog food commercial w/ Lorne Greene. I'm not sure whether I remember hearing music like that in the commercial or whether it is good frollicking in the park with dogs music.
