Excellent video... funny song... big hit on VH1 & should have been a bigger hit than it was on radio :)

"Wonderful" was a million times better

It was one of my favourite Everclear songs... got up to #18 on my chart.

This song was excellent and much better than "Wonderful" imo; very original and unusual. "Father Of Mine" is probably my favorite by the band.

Good song. Probably my third or fourth favorite after "Wonderful" and "Father of Mine", and maybe "Santa Monica"

Good song, neat sample of "Mr. Big Stuff". My third fave by them after "Santa Monica" and "I Will Buy You A New Life".

I loved this. It probably ranks behind only "Father of Mine" as my favorite Everclear single. I don't think I ever saw the video though. :(

As far as my favorite single goes, it's probably "Father Of Mine" or maybe "I Will Buy You A New Life". I didn't like "AM Radio".

"Wonderful" was a million times better I agree, but this one was still very catchy. I liked it, but not a whole lot. |

Good, but surelynot their best. I really liked "Heartspark Dollar Sign," "Strawberry," "Everything to Everyone," and "I Will Buy You a New Life."

I liked "Santa Monica" and it all went downhill from there. This song was cutesy but got old fast.

Ironically, the only place I ever heard this song was on an AM pop radio station. They also thought it was funny to play this back to back with Jessica Riddle's song that uses the same sample.
It is a pretty cool song, too.

The only reason I liked this was because I was still high off of "Wonderful." It is clever that they used a sample from an old song that shouldn't be played anywhere as the background, but that made it not sound so good. At least it was nowhere near as atrocious as that Jessica Riddle song.

What Jessica Riddle song? "Even Angels Fall". It only spent one week in the CHR/POp top 40 at #39 before being backwards bulleted to #41. Both "AM Radio" and "Even Angels Fall" were great songs. |

"Even Angels Fall" sampled "Mr. Big Stuff" too? I don't remember...

The best line from the video was:
"If you think this is too pop, then it's past your bedtime."
:)
I thought this song was OK, but like most Everclear songs (except for "I Will Buy You A New Life"), it grated on me after a while.

I've noticed Everclear tended to make songs flashing back to childhood memories - many not so pleasant. "Father of Mine" and "Wonderful" seemed to reflect an unhappy childhood where there was unrest and separation. Was this a way of the lead singer lashing out?
"A.M. Radio" brought back memories from a 1970s childhood, but it was a much more upbeat song. Video was pretty strange though.

I prefer Wonderful but this song still really sticks out to me for some reason. I like Everclear's style and how different it is, that makes them enjoyable for me.
