Catchy little tune. They remind me of Dramarama.

I'm folding clothes. Bro is gone and won't be back until tomorrow, if everything goes well. So, I'm listening loud, and this song just makes me grin. Maybe I'll check into the lyrics, but for now, I love the way they make me feel, and I'm good with that.

Catching my ear. I like percussion that is not drum-driven, but rather bass- and keyboard-driven.  And the occasional flute is a nice touch as well.

First time hearing this song or this band.  Liking them a lot so far - very infectious and grin-inspiring.   {#Dancingbanana}

Saw them live last fall. The great thing about them is that their sound is easily reproduced live, so they sounded fabulous. Attendance was down sadly, but that didn't inhibit the rest of us from enjoying a really good show.

Kind of sad that 54-40 best songs never caught on in the US - Baby ran was really an anthem for most Canadian teens in the early 80's - It wasnt until Hootie and the Blowfish did a cover of "I Go Blind" that I ever heard any of their music on American stations

Now Bill pulls this one out of the vault - good choice - but Baby Ran is much better
Thanks Bill :){#Bananasplit}

See the comment below on Smash Mouth.

I don't hear any resemblance whatsoever between 54-40 and those bands...

Wow! Love this band!

But um....the bass line and beat sound an awful like the beginning of U2's Zoo Station.

Which is good!

The 54-40 release, "54-40" totally defined them. This cut is of much less value. But thanks Bill, for giving these guys a listen.
