Mother We Just Can't Get Enough

I love this song, its beautiful and makes me feel good! I'm really liking the New Radicals...

"You're a heart attack Just the kind I like"

I love that line.

Dammit.. c'mon people. This song is awesome. More comments!

Personally, I think the "mother" theory is bullshit. The song's much more than just about some random girl. Like with all New Radicals songs, this song is chock full of social commentary. The whole "social security numebr" bit sums it up. When Gregg is singing "we just can't get enough," I think he's referring to the way in which people, mostly Americans, just "can't get enopugh" of, admittedly, very shallow and material THINGS. Cell phones, fancy cars, clothes, et cetera. It's not just about some god damn "relationship" his mother disapproves of. To go that route would be oversimplifying the song and the lyrical greatness of the New Radicals. They're not some cookie cutter pop band, singing empty songs engineered to suit the masses by some big record company. That's everything they're NOT.

I have way more to say about this song, and the band, but it's late. I'll just close with this: the New Radicals are NOT a "one hit wonder band." This song is proof. Everything they touch is gold, even if they only have the one album. Whenever I hear someone call them that, I wanna punch whoever said it in the face. It's the greatest insult. Who decides what makes something a "hit" anyway? By how much it's played on the radio? By how much money it makes? Is money the greatest thing we as humans can accomplish? THAT'S what this song is about. Hell.. maybe I've been brainwashed too..

this song just rocks... from the piano riff to the incredible energy at the end, and everything in between - my favorite new radicals song ever (although that's not saying much, in view of the one album in existence)

Make my nipples hard, let's go

best line ever. New radicals were so so so underrated

PLEASE READ FRIEDEN'S lyrics....for me,the best is non-sense grunge....post somethin about the songs

this song is awesome! I like the part that goes 'There's someting about you Tears me inside out whenever you're around There's someting about you Speeding thru my veins until we hit the ground And there's somting about this rush Take it away It made me feel so good I get a feeling you get a feeling we got a feeling Like we could die' b'/c that's jsut the way i know i'm going to feel about my one true love when i meet him! i cna just imagine that feeling, ya know? It's awesome.

hehe, this is a great song, just the way he sings, "there's somethin about you...."

omg i've been trying to figure out the name of this song for forever! so glad i finally did, this song's awesome!!!

songMEANINGS guys haha.

the mother theory sounds awesome. It's obviously about a girl he likes or whatever but i don't know.

i think it's interesting how it goes mother, we just can't get enough LOVER, we just gotta get it up.

i like the lover part, and the mother theory does make a lot of sense because he's trying to tell his mother how much he loves this girl and trying to tell the girl that she just needs to be patient and understand.

i also love the part where it goes social security number please credit card number please money please money please money please SOUL please

it's interesting. so very dryly sarcastic. it reminds me of something lazy boy would do.

beautiful piano anyways

and the intro makes me laugh "make my nipples hard. let's go"

anyways. pretty song :)
