Album Notes & Community Reviews

Serving as the debut and lone major hit for Gregg Alexander's short-lived project, the song is an irrepressibly upbeat fusion of 70s soul influences and 90s alternative rock edge. The soaring, piano-led chorus is famously juxtaposed with a chaotic bridge that aggressively name-drops and criticizes various celebrities and corporate entities. It remains a uniquely cynical yet profoundly optimistic anthem summarizing the chaotic close of the millennium.
