FTFY

I'm loving the little nod to Fixer in this:)

'Yeh yeh yeh'

This is still a great chorus.

I kind of want to own an Indian restaurant just so that I can name a dish the Lightning Balti.

"So, this is actually pretty good"

Amazing some of the 180's ive done on some of these songs and how much the album as a whole as grown on me...

Never been like that for any other album....

Still not sure about this one. I don't dislike it as much as I used to, but... meh.

I spend the whole time waiting for the last verse plus outro, but that's OK. I like the bridge a lot and I'm less embarrassed by the studio version's chorus than the Wrigley one. The version of this they played at Pit was pretty good as well.

Unexpected post is unexpected.

Out of the 5 pj songs my 6 yr old daughter knows; daughter, elderly woman, nothingman, betterman and lightning bolt, she likes lightning bolt the best/likes to sing along to it the most. She's totally unbiased to previous PJ albums because she learned those 5 songs at the same time. She has good taste in clothing (tells me what looks best) and music too, I think.

So the final verdict is it's a very good to great song?

Very good song, for me. Falls just slightly short of being great. I give it 4.5 stars.

I'm really surprised by how much I love this song. One of my favorites on the album.

i want to own a sandwich shop and feature a sandwich with alfalfa sprouts just so i can name it "The Alfalfa Male"

This thing is so infectious. I love this one.
It reminds me of L.A. Woman by the end.

I always think of "Born in the USA" with the keyboard part. It's quite a nice homage, if you like that sort of thing.

I love hearing this right after Sirens ends.

Even despite the chorus, could this be one of the catchiest/singable pj songs ever? In this department I have it even with "elderly woman" and maybe "betterman". I have it above "wishlist".
