This song rocks.. So does this video... Why wasn't it a bigger hit on pop? I didn't hear it once on my local CHR station. Probably my favorite No Doubt single.

After "Tragic Kingdom," I tried to continue supporting No Doubt but they had a streak of seven stinkers, and for whatever reason, I still bought their albums looking for a bit of hope. There were some good songs, but the singles from "Simple" to "Running" were not favorites.

Great song, though i do prefer 'Simple Kind Of Life' nowadays.
In the UK this was the bigger hit of the two. It made the top 30, wheras 'Simple' flopped and made about #62.

Very good song, but "A Simple Kind of Life" is much better

This single helped reinvigorate my interest in No Doubt. I liked some of the singles from TK, and decided to purchase it. Needless to say, I was incredibly disappointed with the album and wrote them off.
Then "New" came out, which I loved, and then this song came out, and I loved it as well, so I took a gamble and bought Return To Saturn, which was a big improvement over Tragic Kingdom IMO. Been a huge fan ever since.
As for this song, love it, but it wasn't the best single from RTS. That honor belongs to "Simple Kind Of Life," which is my favorite No Doubt song period.

Was this the video where Gwen had her pink dreadlocks? The song was great!

I like this one. Bathwater and Simple Kind of Life were both better than this one though.
My favorite No Doubt single ever? Most probably Sunday Morning.

My favorite No Doubt single ever? Most probably Sunday Morning. Me too! I love the video... it's so simple, but it works. Gwen buys the ingredients to make spaghetti from the grocery store, then they all help make spaghetti, then they eat at the picnic table. I love video's like this. the spaghetti fight! Nobody makes cool video's like this anymore.. it's all high-tech crap now with effects. Just because something has a million effects, doesn't mean it's good. I like it when things are simple. |

This single helped reinvigorate my interest in No Doubt. Return To Saturn was a big improvement over Tragic Kingdom IMO. Been a huge fan ever since. Agreed. I bought Tragic Kingdom after "Spiderwebs," because I liked both it and "Just a Girl," but those two singles got overplayed and I became jealous that they were having significantly more success than Garbage at the time. Then "Don't Speak" blew up and got overplayed worse than either of the first two singles and I shunned the band. I disowned (but thankfully never sold) Tragic Kingdom and it wasn't until I began dating my high school sweetheart in 1999 that I started coming back around. (This was at the tail end of "New"'s life and No Doubt was her favorite band.) So I missed out on "New" by a little bit, but boy was I prepared for "Ex-Girlfriend." It's my favorite No Doubt song, even. I love the bridge because they toss a bunch of syncopated rhythms together over a synth-line like that of g-funk from the early to mid '90's. No Doubt outdid themselves with Return of Saturn. Rock Steady is first-rate too, but it's too playful overall. Which is why it was successful, while RoS failed during the teen-pop boom. |

Yeah this song was awesome...too bad I ended up buying the CD and not really liking any of the other tracks on it. I still love this one though.

I think Don't Speak is a classic. One of my favorite songs ever! Not too big on Ex-girlfriend though. I do like almost all of Rock Steady. Though I'm still a little ticked that Underneath it All beat out Unwell by MB20 for the Grammy. :(

Love it. Influences from so many different genres mixed into one track.
