Everly Brothers for the 21st Century.  Except for the hideous "..good things for you and I."  Even the EB's grammar wasn't that bad and they were grease-haired rednecks.

A catchy pop tune... However, like others, I find the use of "good things for you and I" to force a rhyme irritating doggerel in the worst sense. It's a shame, because it's a pleasant enough tune....

I'm not from New Mexico, but that sounds about right.  Nice song.

I doubt it, unless they need to fend off the attorneys for Bennie Benjamin, Gloria Caldwell and Sol Marcus:

On March 15, 2012, in a keynote speech to an audience at the South by Southwest music festival, Bruce Springsteen discussed the Animals' influence on his music:
"..."Badlands," "Prove It All Night" — Darkness was filled with The Animals, you know? Youngsters, watch this one. I'm gonna tell you how it's done, right now. I took "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood,"
(Singing and strumming beginning of "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" on guitar, then singing the piano melody and playing the guitar riff from "Badlands").
It's the same fu*k*ng riff, man. Listen up, youngsters: this is how successful theft is accomplished, all right?"

The BoDeans performed at a free concert in Santa Fe, NM this past June. Great
show and Good Things was one of the highlights. Great underrated (unknown?)
band.

To all those who have given ''Negative'' comments go get a copy of this Live Double Album..''Joe Dirt Car'' you might be inclined to change to a Positive comment.

When listened to as an album (as I did on one of my many cross-country sojourns) this is a remarkably good collection of music.

This song reminds me of that old song "I'm the Pied Piper" by Chrispian St Peters. Very similar tune.

BoDeans sound is what my ears want to here and now.

Exactly ! I to was wondering, if Buddy were alive today, if some of 
his music would/could sound like this BoDeans tune. (or is that visa versa ? )
We will never know but, kudos' to the BoDeans for putting such an interesting
thought in our heads.{#Clap}

{#Lol} This is NOT the best representation of BoDeans - it's just the most commercial.  I hope you'll dig a little deeper and find those gems like "Naked," or "Good Work" (from "Joe Dirt-Car" - it's worth it to hear the "FIRE IN THE HOLE!" right before something blew up and the sound of shattered glass...)

I love BoDeans, and this is probably the most commercial of their songs, apart from "Closer to Free" from "Party of Five."

Between you and me?  I'd rate this a zero, had I that option.  SO many better songs by these boys...

Have you ever learned a foreign language?  It's like being in prison, and highly inefficient, they are so strict.  In the US we are very flexible and open, liberal you might say, with regards to language.  This has led to great progress.

oh gawwd.. what's broke in this country ain't got nothin to do with the way some talk, or certainly not the way they sing. James Joyce published Finnegans Wake in the 1930's ("written in a largely idiosyncratic language, consisting of a mixture of standard English lexical items and neologistic multilingual puns and portmanteau words")  and nobody tried to pin the fall of western civilization on him. Frigin drama queens.

What's so slow about it?  Apathy, entitlement, obsession with form and the absence of pretty much any real awareness.  Way down the slope.

Based on its own merits, I really love this song. I love BoDeans. And I'd love to hear some other stuff from them, like their live version of "Naked," or "Good Work," or pretty much anything from their "Joe Dirt Car" CD.  Some clunkers, but a lot of really great stuff there. BoDeans are not a band to be written off - they have a loyal following (and though I'm not in any of their audiences, I'm one of those loyal fans), and when they perform live, they give it all up.

I don't know about anyone else, but for me, that's far and above good enough.  BoDeans deliver.
