This album is one of my favorite by Grandaddy. I love the raw energy and the "to hell with it all I'm doing what I want" attitude.. something that gradually went missing in their latter stuff, but was replaced by improved musicianship and artistry.. a win IMO!
And this song rocks balls. As others have pointed out, the lyrics are very poignant in exposing a vain person's mediocrity. It reminds me of the cheerleader in the American Beauty film.. utterly ordinary!
But the best part for me is the guitar work. It really has to be listened as loud as you can for maximum enjoyment!
