| flutgos (Centerville, OH) | Posted: Dec 13, 2011 - 07:31 Haha! I remember hearing this come on every day while at work a few years back. I can't believe it hasn't been played since then. It took me a while to find it again. It's pretty good and should be played at least once a year. |

| planet_lizard (Sagittarius Dwarf Elliptical Galaxy) | Posted: Dec 16, 2007 - 10:51 Why are all you guys listening to stations that overplay tracks? This is great and if it's like knives in your brain then you've been listening to the wrong station. |
| EssexTex (Gros Islet) | Posted: Dec 04, 2007 - 06:12 Didn't mind this at first..now it's like knives in my brain |
| epomuletz (Bucharest, Romania) | Posted: Dec 04, 2007 - 05:28 I like them :) |
| Frater_Kork (Uppsala, Sweden) | Posted: Dec 04, 2007 - 05:25 Crap, the LRC is down. Got to settle for silence. |
| acampos (Paris, France) | Posted: Dec 04, 2007 - 05:24 These guys ROCK!!! but give us a break!! too much of this will make us hate it  |
| pannaramma (not from around here) | Posted: Dec 04, 2007 - 05:23 and OFF come the headphones |
| Marley (Portland, Or) | Posted: Dec 01, 2007 - 23:18 Oh come on!!!! It's the 3rd day in a row!! Last night it was played just as I was going to sleep and I had to get out of bed and mute until it was over. Yes, it's that bad. Please, please, please don't play this song so much!!!!!  |
| Atombender (Frankfurt, Germany) | Posted: Dec 01, 2007 - 03:28 Took me a long time to like this. Its not a song that works for everybody (i have to turn it off in the office  )
I'm opening my mind really wide and wait for more K of L :) |
| planet_lizard (Sagittarius Dwarf Elliptical Galaxy) | Posted: Dec 01, 2007 - 03:20 Never realised there was so much hate for this! Where has it been overplayed so much? I love it Bill! Play it twice in a row if you like. |
| Robert_V_West (San Antonio) | Posted: Nov 29, 2007 - 18:20 The Kings of Leon rock, sex rocks, however the message that the virile gang members of Leon ( not Lyon ) are entitled to procreate without 2nd thoughts is disturbing. I suggest somebody U- Tube this issue to "the candidates" and see who holds the Bible. |

I saw Kings of Leon at the Voodoo Chili tour and they were good. This song just doesn't do it. And this is the first time I've heard it in a while . . and it ain't as bad, in fact it's pretty good. So, while I gave it a one and complained it is played too often, it does sound better. And no, it isn't even close to Porcupine Tree as far as talent or breadth. Bill has 3 Kings of Leon Songs in rotation. PT has 45. No comparison. |
| MonkeyPod (Florida) | Posted: Nov 27, 2007 - 01:37 Touchy subjects really piss people off! At least we aren't at war and gas prices are low. (Doh!) |
| acampos (Paris, France) | Posted: Nov 13, 2007 - 04:46 You are right!!! I like K of L but they alter my nerves a little bit, just a couple of songs and I am done. BUT, they are really GOOD!!  |

yeah getting a bit annoying now... |

| MrsAustin (New Hampshire) | Posted: Nov 05, 2007 - 08:20 And disturbing. Makes me think of the gimp in Pulp Fiction and Buffalo Bill in Silence of the Lambs, and that very weird X-Files episode about the extemely in-bred Appalachian family. Oh, dear, that X-files episode was demented to the max, eh? Gives me the creeps when I think about it- I really try hard not to.  |

Please, please, please retire this one. "We"? No. Please, please, please stop trying to dictate what the rest of us get to listen to. |
| spraehbuer | Posted: Nov 05, 2007 - 06:50 like the music but the singer is weird  |

Extremely irritatingly, this number has a viral quality that makes it stick in your brain, like chewing gum to your sole. On a recent mountain expedition I found this damn song going through my mind on a loop for 8 blasted hours, despite my best efforts to dislodge it. 2 -> 1 |

| FlatCat (Chicago) | Posted: Nov 03, 2007 - 12:09 Cool. But three time in the three days (can you tell I am listening a lot)? This song is like really rich cake. I love it, but can only eat in small, infrequent doses. |

i so much agree with you |

| felix_the_man (City of Density) | Posted: Oct 30, 2007 - 17:07 let's see, this song is a harbinger of abuse, welfare, and a heap of unpaid child support. an anthem of the dysfunctional 
don't care what nobody says, no I'm going to be her lover Always mad and usually drunk But I love her like no other And the doctor seems to say he don't know Where we're gonna go? |

I swear this melody is based on some great old quasi-punk song...I just can't remember which one it is. |

| seedeater (Phoenix, AZ) | Posted: Oct 26, 2007 - 15:41 Crappy vocals, crappy lyrics, less than impressive instrumentation ... but the rythym kicks. I guess that's why I like it. |

remember the days when we opened our ears to the unfamiliar and the unexpected? remember how unsettling the pixies sounded in 89? give kings of leon a chance, they're a great band. cheers j 
edit: someone needs to upload "Charmer" and see if Bill will play it. |
| mrselfdestruct (Alberta) | Posted: Oct 26, 2007 - 15:40 Sounds pretty cool to me. |
