Fur coat, no knickers. And let's hope, the cuffs match the collar.

I first discovered Cake live, before they "made it". That show, however, soured me on them since: perky tunes accommodating inappropriate, cynicism, emotives, and expression. Nevertheless, I still find their tunes to be catchy, and yet a sense of (my own) humor in them. |

The lyrics are so deadpan-funny.
So...she borrowed your pen after you two met accidentally at Citibank? Fascinating. A minor event, for certain, but part of the story of a girl "with good dividends and a smooth liquidation"...amongst other things.
Ohhhh -THANK YOU, Hodgie! Cake seems to get the same reaction as They Might Be Giants or Devo. Me? I love the hell outta them, because they're so deadpan. (I think they're flower-child/conspiracy-theorists, which definitely presents a whole new element to the listening experience...) |

There are very few songs I can listen to more than once a day without tiring of them... but this is most certainly one of them  |

Sometimes I am lucky enough to see that they are coming before the song even starts.

I totally love the deadpan "yeah, we're ripping off Sweet Jane/Baba O'Reilly/Ain't Seen Nothin Yet" part of this.

I fear that anyone who's watched "Chuck" will forever associate this song with the show. I'm trying to separate myself from that mistake - Cake is a good band, with or without the television show. But dang - I can't help it, with this song... I perk up and remember a favorite scene from the show. And I had NO idea that Zachary Levi could sing, but he's quite good. In fact, the cast of "Chuck" seems to be a bunch of hidden talents. (Refer to my previous post about the episode "Africa.") I want a woman with a short skirt and a loooooooooong......jacket. Gee - wonder why?  |

To all you Cake haters - what did fun ever to do you to make you hate it so?
Not sure fun ever did anything mean to me, but I am definitely a hater. someone must have spiked my party punch with Cake Hateraide cause I cant shake this fever. |
