I remember the first time I remember ever paying attention to this song. My high school used to have a yearly "lip sync contest." Most of the acts were totally stupid - lots of random popular kids lip syncing to either something terribly trendy or horribly ridiculous. There would be snob girls in bib overalls singing some children's song, or some random people mimicking the B-52s or Paula Abdul, or maybe a whole gaggle of cheerleaders singing "Eidelweiss." One year, though, my
smurfbrother and his friends performed this song. They just, well, pretended to be the band. And they made it into the show. Yay!
They passed out photocopies of the lyrics, and I think at my parents house I still have my copy. I remember reading the words along with the lip sync act and falling in love with the song that day. Or maybe I was just trying to impress Mark Recorvits. Heh. Who knows? Either way, this song always reminds me of
my big brother.
But you've got a lot of nerve to call yourself a pioneer when you're too goddamned conservative to take /real/ chances. <-- a pretty spiffy motto if I've ever heard one
