nah, i've seen a lot of positive comments for them in times past; I have to agree that this song isn't representative of their overall work but PLEASE keep the 97's coming! (except maybe not this song...)

Now that's funny right there.

I'm a huge fan of these guys but this is pretty blah. And yes, they do put on one hell of a live show.

Their music is so cool pretty good, but Rhett's voice sets my teeth on edge.

echoes of those college bands of the mid 80s

OK, I admit that this isn't one of their best songs, but the Old 97s are a fantastic band.  They are absolutely ferocious live!  Go see them any chance you get or try their live CD set "Alive and Wired" - it's in constant rotation on my iPod.

People.  I fell in love with this band because of this album.  {#Kiss}
Hundreds of plays, People.  And this is one of the top songs.  Really, its better in context of the whole album.

Saw these guys open up at a festival back in 1996/97 - put on a pretty good show, especially for the middle of the afternoon outside in the Houston summer... but never got any of their albums.

Decent song but nothing special imo... probably a good 6. From what I remember of the older stuff, live at least, a bit more raw, not as poppy.
