My Thoughts On The Song/Chart:
"At first when we were at our [song] limit, we had a couple other ones come in. So I remember saying, "Oh well, we have a couple extra songs in so we have to cut some from the disc." And we had The New Pornographers on there, again basically because a few of us like them, you know? And so we sent out a company-wide e-mail, "Well, we think we're going to have to cut this song, because we have this other bigger one we could put in." And there was a giant company backlash. "No! You can't fucking cut this song!" It was going to get cut just because they were the smallest band that we put on the game. But we need some of those. In its own way it rounds out the setlist."
- From an Old Article that describes this song almost being cut from the game.
A great tune that despite being a smaller band than the big hitters of the RB1 Main Setlist, this one manages to stay enduring and charming in its own way and fit right in with the big boys of the RB1 Setlist. Annoying Vox chart however.
