A fine, tight, little pop tune. It's hard as hell to write one, I've tried. There's rules laid down by the immortals, like Phil Spector, and these guys had the sense to follow them, at least, A little whiffy, but.. it's lively and you can dance to it and I'm giving it a 6, Mr. Clark.

Oh c'mon.They may not look that great but look at the effort it must have took to create this recording.

Could they do it live at your local chicken shack/bait shop/motel?Probably not.

 I wouldn't want to hear it every day,but c'mon.Geez.

Creepy. And I KNOW I hear a girl in there. Where is she?
 
I think she's on bass.

This song would be better if it was shorter... like 10 seconds (max).

Impressive!  Around a month after you made that comment, only 4 more people have rated this song.  The impressive thing is that out of those 4 people, 8 of them rated it a 10.  Good job!

If you are talking about the negative comments, I couldn't agree more.

There are far too many negative "reviews" in the last few comments, so I had to bring in a positive one.

I love the change in tone and interplay of the male and female voices. Great stuff.

Upgraded from a 3 —> 5.  Somehow it sounds better following The Violent Femmes...  {#Stupid}

Shinyhappy music - Plain White Tees meet Jimmy Eat World, mixed with a dollop of Nena (99 Red Balloons). Oh, and let's not forget the profound lyrics, reminiscent of R.E.M. on a really bad day.

Sorry - not liking this song much. Then again, I'm in a Rhea's Obsession mood, so prolly not much would thrill me, except "20th Century Man" (I keep thinking this would fit nicely after Pink Floyd's "Free Four.")

Shutting up now.

I'm not too fond of these guys, but I think that the girls adding the beards on the cover is awesome.  I would think that maybe they are somewhat sensitive about looking to masculine, but they play it up.  Pretty Cool and Funny.

I saw them a few years ago when they warmed up for Bright Eyes (along with Feist) in Louisville.  I actually thought that they were really good.  I bought their CD.  Not all of the songs are great, but I really like this one.

Saw them on that Jools Holland show from the UK — they were awful.  They sound clean and simple on the record.  They sounded untalented and unprofessional on the show.  {#Frown}

Maybe they're related, though their sound is quite different. 
Gosh, I haven't thought about Lothar & The Hand People in some time, probably for good reasons.

In yet more proof that Zack Braff is somewhere in RP-land, I was watching last season's Scrubs DVD (OK, the last season on DVD, the one before the one that just finished this spring) and this song was featured prominently...

Great tune with a sexy voice in the melody. Quite fitting that the dudes look like primates and sound like The Monkies.
