The song provides its own summary: 

"At first I find it funny but now it's just annoying"

Actually, a big fad among the jr. high kids these days...white socks, flip flops

Good song, but unpleasant imagery in the title:

Is it just me, or does the main riff sound like Stone's jumpin' Jack Flash?

and I would hate all non-instrumentals!

 
On the other hand, this could be sung in a foreign language and it would still be just as cool.

this song gains a lot of meaning as i live currently in the Czech Republic and it's trendy to have socks with slippers and why not, flip flops?!
not to mention the white ennobles the whole outfit {#Wave} - see even smiley here wears'em

I know what you mean.  The vocals remind me a little of The Association (i.e. "Along Comes Mary").

These guys have a great sound. I like the self-aware start to the lyrics: "I look like a loser". But I bet he isn't a loser

I'm glad Bill keeps this in the playlist despite its somewhat low-ish rating (5.9 at time of writing this). SFA are a great band and this is a grower, as is the whole album it's taken from. I have just re-discovered "Hey Venus" as well after not listening to it a lot when it came out. I really hope SFA will stay around for a while.

A bizarre album—there's this gem and an awful lot of stuff that's reminiscent of the self-indulgent hippie discs of the late '60s. Strong stomach and equally strong sense of the absurd required.

If Radio Paradise played songs like this all the time, I'd have to find another station to listen to.   I mean, geez, it was bad enough as is - did they really have to go on and on about it?

I'm sorry if you liked it (and yes, that can be read two ways {#Wink})
