It was on an episode of How I Met Your Mother early last month, if that counts for anything.

Well I like this song for one, and the video complements it's slowness nicely.

I think they stole most of this structure from an RJD2 track, or is it the other way around?

The piano line for the verse is three chords put together, at its most basic. In the extraordinarily long history of piano, or the incredibly densely populated modern music scene, could anyone expect that no one would've thought to play three chords at a staccato before? THe keyboardist does vary it, as well, by adding syncopated notes a couple octaves lower.

The Chiffons did, in Sweet Talking Guy

Good call - Ben Folds is the closest kinship here (people tend to call out 'Beach Boys' as soon as there's 4-part harmony and a falsetto top part...)


Hmm. I don't think Ben Folds grew up in a vacuum.

Has anyone heard their newest one featuring Michael MacDonald?
Surprisingly, it isn't bad.
KCRW has been playing the snot out of it.

I just hope it isn't the downfall of this group. {#Mrgreen}

Where have I heard that hook before?

Ah, yes:



Yikes. I see wat you me. I love these guys. They were awesome when they played here and I still think that this album is brilliant and I thought this piano piece—now clearly this remix—was great. It is okay by me. They were incredibly talented and creative so they get lots of degrees of freedom from me
