I wouldn't go this far, but it's never really worked for me either. Ending the album with it never made sense to me.

I think it would have been a weird closer, but I've always found it super catchy -- which stands out in out in a group of songs that didn't really go in for big, easy melodies. Love the rhythm too -- I don't think there's any other PJ song that rides this particular groove.

It's like a very peppy Thin Air

I think If you sped up Thin Air a bit, it would go nicely with the Education beat.

It is at least 2/3-assed -- very nicely done
