You have to watch it. Seriously. It is really good and it is just 5 minutes of your life.

Awww, I liked it. That song (although ridiculous) reminds me of my freshman year of college, so it will always hold a special place in my heart.

Sloan also did a cover for this series \m/ >_< \m/ They covered Gary Newman's 'Cars'

If any of you have kids, TMBG make the most listenable, fun kids music out there. It's TOTALLY FAB.

I just can't click on that. I hate that song. I loved it back in the day and I'm embarrassed. In 2001, we were robbed and the punk-ass thief took all our CDs, about 200 in total. Remember when you used to buy CDs for one song? Anyhoo, insurance offered to replace them but we were good about not getting the Chumbawumba CD replaced. We opted for cash instead.

That song just came out for Rock Band but we didn't buy it (yeah, we still play it).

Just glancing at the *headline* made the original song get stuck in my head for hours, though. I'm not even gonna CLICK that link -- though I do admittedly like TMBG a lot.

Pissing the niiiiiight away. Pissing the niiiIIIIIght awaaaaay...

I bought their album "Flood" back in university--that I just called it an "album" should tell you just how long I've been a TMBG fan...lmao.

Minimum Wage was always my favourite.

while annoying, i guess it's a nice of any group to resurrect one hit wonders.

next.

TMBG is the only group that hubby and I will still pay to see. We went to lots of concerts back in the day (pre-kids, no mortgage, lots of disposable income), but most of them just cost too much these days. But we continue to shell out the $$ for TMBG because they're just so good. I think we've seen them 6 or 8 times. And their kids' CDs are great too!

Love, love TMBG, my kids turned me on to them, it's one of the few groups that my hubby and I and our teens can listen to in the car and please everyone.
I liked this version, it was fun!
