Ugh. I just missed Subterranean Homesick Blues, and I get THIS instead?

Cheesy but well-executed, and that means fun.

It's very very strange to me when people say that because as a musician (well, mediocre bass player) and huge fan I simply can't fathom how Caleb's vocals bother so many people? I find a huge percentage also LOVE them though, and I am certainly in that category, as they are so visceral, raw and unprocessed... original, that it's just really refreshing. Keep listening...especially "Cold Dessert", "Arizona" and "Closer" :)

I really couldn't say — they only part I can easily understand is the "Your sex is on fire" bit, which doesn't make me want to pay attention and suss out the rest. Not to mention, since that's all I can understand the song puts a rather unattractive and painful image in my mind. (OUCH!  {#Roflol})

i totally agree. it seems like there could be a corporate version (for selling sneakers, and the like) that features the lyrics.

btw, did bill just say 'kings of lima' or am i just disoriented?

if it weren't for this video, I wouldn't know the lyrics.

I'd probably like this song more (got a good guitar riff and the band are competent 'jammers') but it's SO OVERPLAYED on the radio, that I just can't get into it anymore

Pretty good song overall ... unfortunately, it suffers of the A.O.S (acutely overplayed syndrome) {#Sunny}

This sax is on fire?!  Don't like this song.  Never did.  Based on this one song, I think Kings of Leon are over-rated.  Perhaps if I heard other stuff by them, I might change my perception.{#Yawn}

Please... I'm so over this song. It is played incessantly on mainstream radio. And it reminds me of my ex, so I start to feel crappy about myself when I hear it. How about some Reba McEntire?

  People often accuse a band of "selling out" when they start to sell good quantities of their music.  But isn't that what all artists want - to get their music to the people?

The best thing about Radio Paradise playing this song is the above photo-comment.  Well played CamLwalk.  You get a 10 from me. 

This song - a 2.

In reading the comments I see that KOL don't have fans on RP. Except me. I was told by every fellow music lover I know that KOL are just a throw away commercial band, I've been called "silly" for liking them. Nonetheless, I have them on my iPod and like pretty much every song. I especially appreciate the "Closer" tune.

I wonder if this song gets its high rating due to the fact it's about hot sex - I mean if he was singing your house is on fire would this song get a lower rating?  Barely a 5 for me.

As for the riff - is he trying to make his guitar sound more like an accordian?

Can't agree. It's a killer riff, and a totally respectable pop rock song.

It's only rock 'n' roll, but I like it.
