Their best song IMO. Sadly they were totaly one hit wonders in America, but this song was a top ten hit in the UK and Europe. If you thought they were just a novelty, this song will change your mind, it's much more representative of what they do, brilliant, moody, reflective pop.

This song was great... and had an even more great intro. I thought the Gran Turismo album was very overlooked and that the singles should've done better at alternative... but I also find that my tastes are much more like the Europeans than actual Americans (despite being one).

Fantastic track. Should have been a hit in the states IMO. I remember them performing this at the EMA's, and Nina was looking particularly sexy that night.

It's half-decent, but I think if any other Cardigans song should have been a hit in America, it should have been "My Favourite Game".

This is probably my favorite Cardigans song along with "My Favorite Game".

I love this song's production. I also like Cardigans a lot. Their First Band On The Moon album is too good.

I think it was promoted to Alternative. That's the only place I've ever heard it. Yeah, it was totally a Top 30 Alternative hit. And the video (the censored version) was played quite a bit on MTV, at least on 120 Minutes if no place else. I just remember seeing it a lot. |

Over the years, this has become one of my favorite songs of all time. The production, vocals, lyrics... just perfect IMO. Definately, one of the most finely crafted pop songs I've ever heard.
