I realised the other day that that song is probably the single most irritating track of all time. They quite obviously decided they wanted to make loads of money with lyrics mobile phone advertising gurus would see as 'hip'...

"Who's that guy just hanging at your pad/he's looking kinda bummed"
"But if you dig on vegan food"
"And he doesn't get bent"

I wish The Brian Jonestown Massacre had killed them.

They speak very highly of you as well. Actually in California people really do talk like that. There's quite few bands with advertising skeletons in their closets, take The Rolling Stones with Microsoft and then work down ......
