Ooh! Ooh! *raises her hand* I caught it the first time through!

I love this song. XD It's stuck in my head all the time.

this song is really funny and it sounds really cool.... except the chorus. i cry on the inside a little bit when i hear that part. it kinda ruins it for me. that chorus is the only thing on the album that i really just don't like. it sucks cause i can't avoid it. i like the rest of the song, so i have to hear the bad part. i'm hoping it'll grow on me.

I haven't thought of Sparks in a very long time and was so excited when I heard this song. Al did an awesome job achieving their "sound"!!!
I was also quite amused at the animated Ron Mael playing keyboards in the video, too!
Brilliant!!!

No, I wasn't but now that you mention it, yeah! They do kinda look like the Whammy guy!

I LOVE this song. Definitely my favorite original on the ALbum!

One quick question on the video though. In an interview David C. Lovelace said that all of the RABs (Retarded Animal Babies) characters make an appearance in the video. I've only been able to find Puppy, Kitty, Satan, and the Aliens from that one episode. My friend says that the sheep is Donkey, only in sheep form, so that might be one more. Can you guys help me find the others?

Well, I'm not familiar with Retarded Animal Babies, but there are some bunnies on the TV screen during the "erase all the Easter Eggs on your DVDs" line.

Thanks, Bruce. So that's one more.

Also, one of the children crying over Gigli is holding a plush Hamster.

Is the keyboardist/squid player supposed to be a caricature of Ron Mael? I suppose the alternative is to conclude that our animator thinks Ruben is the most debonair member of the band...

Thanks. Hamster was the one that was realyl bugging me.

Yup. Ron Mael was known for having weird moustaches. For a while there, he was the only guy to sport the never popular "Hitler" moustache.
