Better known as the really cool song from that VH1 commercial. This track is incredibly catchy, and one of Garbage's more radio-friendly tracks. I know it was released overseas (does anyone have chart stats?), and it has a video, but did it ever go for adds stateside? If so, how it wasn't a smash is beyond me, killer track!

They really dropped the ball on this album by releasing 'Androgyny' first. This was ACE. Coukd've been a multiformat smash. Sadly, they were relegated to 'has been' status.

This was the end of Garbage for me.

I like this track a lot. It's not as good as other Garbage songs. They failed because the album was released at the wrong time. Had it been AFTER No Doubt's album, it might be a slightly different story. It would have been a good single choice, though.

The smash that never was, *sigh*. One of G's best singles to date, really.
Yes, it would have been a huge hit here in the US, I think. Although, they actually predated the neo-new wave revival (again, ahead of the curve) with that song. In 2004 or so, it would have been huge. At least WDYLM in 2005 was a comeback hit for them, even if it signified a regression in style (hard rock?).
But, anyway, Cherry Lips was one of the "Top 10 biggest hits" of the year in Australia, apparently. Pretty cool.

Good song. Oddly enough, I heard it for what I think was the first time a couple weeks ago.

This was a huge WTF for me when it was released. I don't mind it, but "Breaking Up The Girl" was easily my favorite single from this album.
