Seriously. The only time I listen to FM radio is when I take my wife's car to get an oil change. So maybe a total of twenty minutes driving time once every six months or so. Every single time, this song comes on. I don't get it. It was a one hit wonder from like 25 years ago. How is it still getting that much airplay?!

It was US alt rock, I dunno how well it traveled. It was one of the first songs (that I remember, anyway) to use sound effects to censor the dirty words on the radio edit, rather than a beep or mute. Which was actually a good idea, because it made it sound natural, like it was just part of the song.

It wasn't a bad song, I guess, I remember liking it well enough at the time. I just don't think it was a good enough song to still be playing as much as it is.
