So many great cake songs, too bad this one's in the rotation instead.

For one moment I thought you we´re being serious.

Sorry dude. not going to happen.  In today's musical landscape, there are already too few unique bands.  Cake is one of them.  Love them or hate them (I happen to love them and have Pressure Chief in my car cd player right now), they are not ever going away,
 
I like most of the material I've heard from this band and I do appreciate their relative distinctiveness.  After reading so much of the negative commentary for their songs here on RP, I've developed a greater appreciation for their music.  If an artist can elicit such visceral, angry responses from listeners who seem (or allege) to be learned in popular music, then that artist may be doing something right.  However, they will eventually have to go away - at least physically.

Cake is GREAT!!   Totally original sound and good lyrics.  It took a few listens to get them.   And yes the songs are a bit sameish, but in a good way  {#Roflol}

I use to like these guys to a certain degree, but lately and especially this song reminds me of 10 yr old kids picking up instruments and trying to be a rock band. Bleech!

When I first hear Cake I am annoyed but darn-it...i hear horns and before I know it their catchy tunes get my head bobbin. I am just annoyed at myself for getting sucked in.

Yes! Even their most depressing songs make me oddly happy.

The excessive ratio of Cake to other artists on RP is pretty much exactly equal to that of my iPod. {#Dancingbanana_2}

Right as I was telling a friend that I was going to see Cake tonight, this song started playing.  Last night I was reading a Cake concert review that mentioned Spoon as the opening act.  "I've heard them on Radio Paradise before... I can't remember what they sound like."  A few minutes later... Spoon!

This station frightens me sometimes.
