What an stupid song.... 

Rubbish - Drum Machine, xilaphone, AWFUL VOCALS. First time I have heard complete trash on RP !

I could do with a few less of the stuttering machine gun "heart" part.  Once or twice in the song would have been ok, but more than that, annoying.  Too bad, because I liked the rest of the song.

Worth repeating, IMO.

At least it is a new song...

Good lord...... Kill it.... kill it with fire.........

(....turns off RP, back in five....) 

man... this mixed with Sting and Baka would make me strutt my funky bark thing!

Interesting!  I didn't expect this much distaste for this song.  I quite like it, actually.

Friend Riley is dead on, as usual, in diagnosing what's wrong with this one. My rating is a 3 because the irritating parts don't balance out the charmingly quirky ones for me as much as they do for the Nottingham jury.

This is used for the soundtrack of a beautiful short about gay marriage rights (Prop 8). 

Glad this found its way back into the playlist. 5 years is quite a stint between plays.

I like Regina. I like different. But I cannot help that my ears are annoyed by the chorus.

I'd love to hear more from her, but preferably not this song.

This jumps between quirky and irritating with, well, irritating frequency. In the right mood it could be smile-inducing, in the wrong mute-inducing. So a MOR rating of 5 from the Nottingham jury.

Pretty much my least favorite regularly-played RP artist. Just don't get it. I get this overwhelming sense that she is desperate to write something that sounds different for the sake of being different. Well Regina, you've done it — it definitely sounds different.

i like to hear regina spektor more..

Jup, Eclectic. That's what it says on the window title.
Personally I enjoy Reginas complete disregard for mainstream mores about how to sing.

Go Regina! =D

Man, this song ROCKS! It's different, quirky, melodic, punky and and and.

I bought the album after hearing "on the radio" and this track is even better.

Geez....and I thought the people who would gravitate towards RP would be more open minded I really like this song the more I listen to it....and she DOES sound different...and DOES step out from the mainstream.

Hey, I hope some of you aren't becoming your father

Oh my god, something different. cant handle it! make it stop! If you bother to check some of her stuff out, she's actually incredibly talented and much more creative than most artists out there. Just need to stop putting all singers and what they should sing like in a tight little box.

You are right - it is ah, ah, ah, ah ... annoying.

The interviewed her a couple of weeks ago on NPR. She was pretty interesting. Apparently does a lot of the vocal sound effects schtick. But that's okay. Give me something new and different anytime. I was back in Nebraska a few weeks back and all they were playing was crap like Boston and Journey, as if no music had been made since the 80s. Guess that's part of why I moved to Austin...

I'd give this song a 6 or so if it weren't for the little voice bouncing thing that annoyed me enough to change stations... so therefore, a 2.
