Cover art for Vanessa from Queens lyrics by Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks

This song is a perfect reproduction of a 70's AM gold tune. It's got a light, early summer or early fall, airy, sort of urban populist Sesame Street New York tube tops and tube socks going to work in the morning or coming home from the office stepping over potato chip wrappers and streams of water from stripped fire hydrants kind of vibe. Oooh - that's right!
