I will say that it's full of top shelf puns and double entendres, and that's something Ed hasn't given us lyrically since pre-PRAMG

Probably an overdose of The Killers and/or The Darkness leading to the death of good taste.
I love this song. I don’t know why it’s a top favorite of mine on Backspacer it just is. The band sounds like they are having a fun time on the song. It feels different than the other 2-3 minute punky tunes on the album. It’s much better than Supersonic in my opinion.

It’s got that oddball quirkiness a Matt tune always delivers.

Weird that In Hiding and Johnny Guitar are both at the top of the forum as far as songs of the moment. Two songs I strongly dislike.
Thankfully , All or None and Save You are up there as well. Neither top 20 PJ songs by any means, but both super solid, and remind me that I am not a complete curmudgeon.
