The Star Wars sounds just ruin it for me. And what's with the god-awful drum machine? Strip all the crap away and you'd have a very nice song.
 
What else do you expect from Kylo Ren? Sorry, Rilo Kiley.

After a whole lotta bellyaching, you got it right in the end.  A very nice song.  
Rilo Kiley had a definite shelf life.
I miss Rilo Kiley :(
This wears thin quickly.
like the title, song doesn't live up.

Mike Mogis thought it sounded cool.

really? this remains my favorite album by rilo kiley. i think the synths are meant to be sort of cheesy...you know, "irony" and all that...

 

The ironing is delicious.

This song is redundant.  It is poorly performed, arranged (those cHEESy synth noises are just... Cheesy...  And annoying), mixed, and produced.  Blech!

I've come to dislike this entire album.

Talented and gorgeous.  Good combo.
rather nice.

the largest name to a song.

Pink Floyd's "Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving With a Pict" came to mind first, but a web search turned this up: "The Sad But True Story Of Ray Mingus, The Lumberjack Of Bulk Rock City, And His Never Slacking Stribe In Exploiting The So Far Undiscovered Areas Of The Intention To Bodily Intercourse From The Opposite Species Of His Kind, During Intake Of All The Mental Condition That Could Be Derived From Fermentation", by a Swedish band called Rednex.
I resisted the urge to buy her new one, but since I did, I have plyed it over and over. Great album!
What's with the Star Wars bleeping sounds in the background?
the largest name to a song.
Right song at the right place during the right time.....one of my favorite tunes of recent history. Jenny Lewis has one of those voices I can really enjoy. I do agree that the end is somewhat cheesy and they go overboard with the bizarre strobe/laser-esque sound.
Horrible stuff.
Good song. But then it sounds like she just decided to end things and neglected to write a proper ending. Average at best in my opinion.
Great feel - pity about the CD cover
9. I'm not a huge Rilo fan, but I'm in love with this one. Perfect melding of voice, tune, lyrics. One of my more favorite songs from the past couple of years.
All Hail!
What a great title to the song...! I give the song a 6 (harmonies would suggest an 8, but otherwise it's a bit plain), but a 9 to the title!
i am happy about jenny lewis' success ... but i hope it does not mean that rilo kiley is no more ....
Bill, how did you know? You're a genius.
darn, i just missed it! play it again soon... anything by Rilo is well worth a listen
