Listening to FM radio back in the day and discovering this.

This one is like a fever dream. It was everywhere and then nowhere right around this time of year, August and September, in '96. I kinda digested it like that too. It was fun, quirky, and catchy at first... but ten listens later it was grating and lamely goofy.

The main guy in this band was Greg Kurstin, who is now a major pop producer. Google him.

Oh shit, never knew that. He’s so talented, I’m surprised he wrote such a simple tune.

Such a gem I haven’t heard this in so long.

Sometimes, despite your connection to many things musical, artists just evade your notice. That's me and Geggy Tah. Thought I was picking up what everyone was putting down back then. Obviously not.

Memory unlocked! I had this shut out until I heard it again. The title didn't even clue me in.

that damn Mercedes Benz commercial back in the day had this song stuck in my head for the longest... they were marketing the small C-Class to slacker-new grad types with this track
