It's funny how the East Coasters and Flatlanders just don't get Dengue Fever; I guess it really helps to be on the Pacific Rim to understand the whole Pacific Rim thing. Some of us flatlanders have a hankerin for lots of left coast things, not the least of which is lanky blonde hair...or just some time on the beach with my lovely red headed misses  |

I don't know if living on the western side of Manhattan qualifies as "West Coast" but I do like this band mucho. |

Gee, you're lumping together about 200 million people; I've told you a million times not to exaggerate.  Good song, by the way - I believe I "get it". |

When she sings it has all the appeal of listening to somebody with bad arthritis strangle a chicken. This song is quite tolerable (dare I say likable). Would have gone quite well with a surf motif of songs Dick Dale Skullbucket or The Wet Spot by SCOTS the Ventures etc. |

They were both in either program. |
| Byronape (Purgatory) | Posted: Apr 06, 2010 - 11:20 Almost sounds like something you would hear on an episode of Twin Peaks. Good bye Laura Palmer... |

| jeffcourtney | Posted: Aug 19, 2009 - 11:07 Bill- give up on these cats already! This cut sounds like a bad cover band doing Dick Dale. And I heard way too many of those growing up in 60's Southern California! |

It's quirky, all over the place—either sweetly endearing or utterly off the wall. Unique, entertaining, and not for the faint of heart. |
