I watch live and dallas with the sound down...

Ok I am kidding, I do think there is a certain charm when played live then. All that bouncing about breathless singing.
 
Oh - "bouncing about".. I see... :o:p

It's actually called "Fall Out Boy's Evening Out with Your Girlfriend". And it's horrible. :p

As for the actual Morrissey song, hmm, well, it's not bad, definitely not bad. It's just, it doesn't really have much to it. Like all Kill Uncle lyrics they are a little sloppily-written (IMHO), but I do kind of like the meaning to the song, the meaning of the words even if for some reason I don't like the sound of them. The music is kind of pleasing, doesn't sound at all bad, it's just not that interesting or special.

youre damn straight it is! i frickin love this song. it reminds me of a specific time in my life, and in general all those awkward times a guy would drive me home from a date or something, and i wasnt sure if i should jump out of the car in fear, or sit there and look at him goofy until he had no choice but to kiss me.

So how did I end up
So deeply involved in
The very existence
I planned on avoiding?


haha i pretty much ask myself that at least 37 times a week...maybe less, maybe more...

im giving it a big fat 9

Okay, who gave it a 10?! A "Classic?" Perfect? Are you serious?

Yep, it's right up there with 'There Is A Light..."

WTF?!
