at this apartment i used to live at we used to put this song on our phones and hide them in the ceiling so they were slightly above the threshold of hearing...drives people nuts

I remember buying the cassette single of this and wearing it right out over a summer, I miss that part of my youth.

When I first saw this' video, I thought to myself, "That's his sister, right?"
Then later found out I was right.
Dunno why, just seemed.

i actually bought the album because i couldn't find the single, i was that desperate for it. album wasn't bad, either.

it wasn't bad at all

They did that on purpose, didn't they? (The rec co, I mean)
― Mark G, Friday, 11 February 2011 17:04 (thirteen years ago) link
it's possible they did on purpose. i know that lots of jive records' teen pop acts released radio-only singles (ever wonder why "i want it that way" only got to #5 on the hot 100?) so i assume it was fairly common at that time.
and actually yeah the album had many pretty good tracks, now that i think about it

I knew nothing about this except as a single on the radio but y'all have successfully just re-infected my brane...

Is it just me or does it kind of have like a Happy Mondays/Primal Scream Manchester feeling to it? Maybe that's why I like it so much. I could see Shaun Ryder doing it...

Well I've never made that connection before but I can see where you're coming from and love HM/PS so . . . you might be on to something.

Why cop the single when you can just buy the "Go" soundtrack!

This song randomly popped up in the latest episode of Girls reminding me just how god damn perfect it is. Hadn't listened to it in at least 5 years but have listened to it about 100 times since last Sunday.

That first shot in the music video when the dude doesn't have his sunglasses on is kind of shocking!
Cool song though. They all look so nervous in front of the camera!

And yes I watched "Tubthumping" immediately afterwards.

when this first came out, I put it in the smash mouth/sugar ray file. listening now, free of 1999, I feel better about it.
