Wow, it took about a thousand times before I got sick of this one.  I liked it for a week.

agree. It's the guitar that reminds me of the Stones but the background vocals do too. Pretty good album.

No, I haven't heard your band,

How can anyone resist this bouncy beat, killer pop hooks, and witty lyrics?

 

So that is what passes for witty these days?

The frequency with which this song is played is writing a check that its musical value cannot possibly cover.  Enough already.

Exactly what I came in to say.  Kinda like the Stones, all right . . . but way, way better.

Say what you want but there's a reason this is following the Stones in Bill's playlist.  These m'fers can rock.

I like reading your posts because I know you are one of the few people here whom I actually believe is writing the truth about what they really think of a song....99% people are saying conventional bullshit trying to impress everyone else about their taste and knowledge...and therefore their input is worthless...

..but then I also learn from your posts that all taste is subjective..because I really do not find this song anything special...it's meh..

This song reminds me of wearing my cassette tapes out for over-rewinding.  So. Much. Fun!  ðŸ˜„

People: it's the Dandy Warhols. Take a clue from their name. Any "ripping off" is intentional—and brilliant.

So I'm ripping off some other band when I loudly whoop out a "woo-hoo"??? I think not my dear - it's all in fun.  This jolly song is just one of many unique and cheerful blendings of sound and lyrics that makes the Dandy's a one of a kind band!

I can hear the resemblance now that you mention it, but a ripoff?  No.  Lots of songs sound like other songs.  Probably every song sounds like at least one other.

Everything's been done before, and much of this band's material is direct references to well-known songs.  I wouldn't be offended by it.

Someone will always find something not to enjoy...which is fine. I'll assume they find enjoyment in something else on RP (or why else would they be here?). 
I find plenty to enjoy in it, but for me its not an all-time great.

This is like DW's "surprise party" track — the rest of their catalogue is so unlike this, but it's an instant attention grabber and so well known of course. (Vodafone in the UK used it late 90s / early 2000s on their TV adverts, along with whoever else on other sides of ponds.)

It's a good fun track with fun lyrics that are also universally acceptable for kids of all ages to belt out as loud as they can. What's not to enjoy?

Probably because they're playing parts of the tune in a similar rhythm and strumming style to "Brown Sugar".  This rocks.
