I like the song. Go Team Minority!

Cubical Hell? Now there's an existential problem for an angst ridden Geometer.

Wow, people on this message board really hate this song.  Is it because they want to set dogs on fire, or because the vocalist is actually a dude?

Wow!! My EXACT thought many times.....about my ex!

On my crappy cubical hell speakers it sounds like 'Set the Dog on Fire' 

LMAO, look down one.

You'd think this crappy song would have found its way out of the rotation by now.  I think at this point, I've heard it on RP more times than I've heard "Stairway" or "Freebird" on Clear Channel stations in my whole life. 

Without reading any other comment I'd just like to say this sounds like someone trying to sound like someone else.

Set the dog on fire...indeed.

Especially when repeated by such a plain, boring, nonbeautiful voice!

Can we listen to a new song by these guys? PLEASE??? You'd think that a 5.4 rating would be the clue that people don't want to listen to this every day.

Someone please throw a bucket of water on this burning dog and put it out of its misery....

Well, the repeated line obviously has many interpretations, as suggested in the comments below. Maybe just pick a different one for each time it's said.

Set the doooooooooock on fire,
Set the duuuuuuuuuuck on fire,
Set the doooooooooog on fire,
Set the doooooooooork on fire,
Lehhhhhhhh mahhhhhhhh eeeeeeeeeen, ohhhh...

Jeez, what is it with artists thinking that repeating the same line over and over is somehow beautiful? It's not! The same phrase 20 times in a song, no matter how beautiful the first one or two times, will get old.

What a brilliant set!

10:23 am - Turin Brakes - Dark On Fire
10:19 am - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - The Weeping Song
10:12 am - Lamb - Gorecki
10:08 am - Pink Floyd - The Great Gig In The Sky

Thanks, Bill!

PS: Dorks should be educated, not set on fire.

that's what I hear! and it's a guy? hysterical!

Sweet. I just looked through the previous comments and discovered I am not alone in thinking the lyrics were "set the dog on fire" and thinking it was a female singing. I'm 2 for 2.

Great minds really do think alike.

is it dour depression day on RP?

It seems people's inability to deal with a British accent has made them ignore the fact that this is a really pretty & well-written song.

I heard "set the duck on fire".

Truly an awful song. I couldn't help feel bad that someone was singing "set the dog on fire". OK, that's not what she really said, but it's what I heard.
