It's a shame they don't have the actual video. It had a guy jumping, trying to reach a balloon or something.

I had no idea that people listened to the Butthole Surfers for the lyrics.

"By this time I guess you've figured out about Florida
Drink the muddy water in the Vaseline stain
They be makin' tadpoles the size of Americans down in Florida
That be tellin' Julio Iglesias what to sing, now"

I learned much wisdom from them.

Dude, that song is cool. Yeah, some ropey lyrics, but I remind you that this is a poll about modern rock hits in 1996 - - - I think you could get fined back then if your song didn't have a labored, cynical Jesus reference and/or bold statement of personal bleak hollowness.

His next album was way better and the only thing of his I bother keeping around anymore.

yeah, 2nd Eels album is def their saving grace (although not totally devoid of the qualities i hate about their hit)

Is it embarrassing to admit I like that song?

Although "Last Stop: This Town" is awesome, too... and probably one of the weirder songs to get Modern Rock airplay. Talking carrot video also strange.
