I get so excited when I find other people that love this song! They're so few and far between. :luv: :luv: :luv:

I think Spenno likes it, too.

Something about this type of minor PJ song, songs like this and "Supersonic" and "Big Wave" -- basically songs with nothing to say that find the band banging away on some power chords for 2.5 minutes and digging on some lovingly derivative pop hooks -- just goes down really smoothly for me. Like I said, some of the live versions of this have kicked ass.

Spenno DEFINITELY likes it too. It's the reason why I don't mind disagreeing with him about anything else. Because no matter what... we're Ole-buds!

I like it. I see it more as a fun, toss-off little chugger with a vocal style Ed hasn't done before.

Oh, yeah. The song's not a game changer or anything. But damn it's fun. And there's such a great energy to it.

Just wish there was a bit more going on in the first half. Ed saves it with his vocals.

Sorry, I meant to post that in the "things you have an irrational love for" thread.

Guys. I think I like this song. It just rolled through my playlist. I kinda rocked out to it, and kinda sorta even maybe want to hear it again.

What is going on with me? What sort of affliction may have caught hold of me? How do I explain this to my inner self?

I prefer Ole to nearly half of LB.

It'd be okay for a soundtrack or holiday single. The giveaway was a good idea for this track.

Yeah, it was a fucking great give-away. I'd have paid real money for it. I like it more than half or Backspacer and a good bit of LB as well. It's a really solid, fun song.
