"Hey Matt." "Yeah Tim?" "Hey, you talked to Mark lately?" "Uh... haven't really talked to him but... he looks pretty... uh... down." "Hahaha. 'He looks pretty uh-huh....'" "Yeah, well... maybe we should cheer him up then." "What do you... uh... suppose we should do?" "Well... does he like butter tarts?"
...
"Check, come here, come here, come here." "Wow. Look at her." "I know." "I've never seen Sharon look so bad before." "I did once before, but this is pretty bad." "Yeah. What do you think she got up to last night? "Hahahahahahahahaha... KAREN!! I LOVE YOU!!"
Why isn't that in the video? It was the best part of the song! Is it an uncleared sample from some teen movie?

Pazz and Jop singles 1999
1. TLC: "No Scrubs" (LaFace) 1092. Eminem: "My Name Is" (Aftermath/Interscope) 663. Len: "Steal My Sunshine" (Epic)
Totally blew by me that critics liked this song.

I always thought this was a drug reference I was too young to understand, but apparently it's a reference I just don't get period.

This is a really good song.
The female vocals are very summery.

― Sven Hassel Schmuck, Thursday, 30 October 2008 23:27 (fifteen years ago) link
it's a great song but i can't figure out the lyrics. i think maybe i shouldn't bother, doesn't really matter what they're saying.

like people know "Every Morning" without knowing "Suavecito." *shakes fist at these kids today*
Wow, I knew both songs well but never pieced it together until I saw this. I also didn't know the name of "Suavecito." I just knew it as that song on oldies radio that features Santana's brother.

― Doctor Casino, Wednesday, 22 April 2009 14:03 (fifteen 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

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.

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.
