Now, nobody throw anything, but while I do like this a lot, I can completely see a smart insurance company, say, picking it up for a pretty montage ad about hip families....

Another one for the must acquire some albums list  Also looking at the earlier comments totally agree on the TMBG sound to this track.

Well worth the investment.  The way looks unapologetic at life and difficult times, yet still maintains, the things will be OK outlook is very therapeutic.

NOVA has a show about Mark Oliver Everett (Eels leader) and his quest to learn about his physicist father, the famous Quantum Mechanics theorist (parallel universe theory) Hugh Everett III. The documentary is called Parallel Worlds, Parallel Lives. 
Really interesting. {#Wave}

You probably are boubabe because the daleks are obviously not talking, their raping.

I think I'm in the minority here because I can't stand this song. It's really annoying.

Its nice to hear more Eels. All I hear of typical radio is "novocaine for the soul." They seem to be imaginative with their sound. Nice!
