This song is cheesy, but Manassas is a great album if you can handle rootsy 70s folk rock.

I had no idea that David Yow was such an advocate for monogamy.

The Gourds cover is better because it's not ironic.  Also because Gin and Juice is a better song, at least better for rock/country adaptation because it has a catchier chorus.

You know what song still kicks ass every fucking time I hear it?  "Common People" by Pulp.  I heard it today at a store and it sounded as awesome as the first time.

Agreed.  Bob Dylan is the greatest artist in rock and roll history and was, for most of his life, a complete asshole.  Probably still is.  What am I, not going to listen to Blonde on Blonde?

Taxman has a killer bass intro. I'm not going to hate on it.

It's based on a news story about two elderly people with dementia who disappeared and turned up a few days later at the bottom of a ravine.  The band turned it into a romantic adventure for some reason, instead of a cautionary tale about the Texas DPS's negligence in giving driver's licenses to the mentally infirm.

Re watching Peep Show lately has given me a new appreciation for that song.  It might hit too close to home for some of us around here, though.

They've been making terrible music since the heyday of Matchbox 20. Remember "Drops of Jupiter"?  That was them, all the way up to that terrible "Hey Soul Sister" song.  And probably some other terrible songs since then, for all I know,

I'm not actually sure you could come up with one worse than this.  This should be saved for the last hatesong.  Whoever is being interviewed should just respond "I mean, come on!", and the interviewer respond "Yeah, I know" and throw it to the commenters so we can all just post a string of expletives.

Yes, you have really horrible taste in music.  Sorry you had to learn it from us.

That song is a cornucopia of terrible lyric writing

Well, they really just used the chorus melody and had it say "Chuck E Cheese/ Chuck E Cheese's".  I wouldn't be surprised if they changed it just enough so that they didn't have to pay royalties

Does anyone remember the Chuck E Cheese ad based on this song?

Oh my god, The Impression That I Get needs a hatesong.

Ed also called Dan's speech for Chung "Verb-adjective gumbo" or something similar that made me laugh.  Ed was well served by the script.

She was asking her father to invest some money with her husband for some business opportunity.

This.  Ted's in California and Don's on indefinite leave of absence, so creative is going to be shorthanded.  I'm assuming next season starts with Don returning to the office and dealing with how things have changed in his absence.

BTW, since Ted and Pete are both apparently going to LA, what's the odds that they get their drink on one night and end up swapping Peggy stories?

Maybe it's because Hamlin's performance is almost identical to his performance on Shameless, but I keep having to remind myself that Cutler isn't gay.
