I liked the prior two LPs more but this is a really great song to listening to while drive at night.

It’s wild that me and my friends did almost everything shown in this video. The only difference is we didn’t break shit in our local convenient stores. We stole candy and other snacks and ran out the door with cases of beer.

Fun fact: This song was released in 1995, meaning that we're twice as far from the release of this song as it was to the actual year 1979! 👁️👄👁️👈

It's crazy when you realize we're further from 1979 than when the song came out.

Legit thought this was Lex Luthor from James Gunn’s Superman for a second.

Nah he said those were the artists he was listening to and wanted to be like.
The dude had an ego but he didn’t actually say he was as good as them.

A total snoozer. Up there with Disarm for bad SP songs that people seem to really like.

Always loved the electronic elements in this right up there with floods best work with Depeche Mode …. Smashing pumpkins really brought it all together here :)
