He's looking kinda bored
Yeah, you broke up, that's too bad
I guess it's fair if he always pays the rent
And he doesn't get bent about sleeping on the couch when I'm there

Thanks...I needed an excuse to turn up the tunes on a flaccid Wednesday......
6 Years later on another flaccid Wednesday...who'd have thunk!
Just hanging at your pad?
The Dude!
this one stands up after all this time.
such an infectious groove. seems new every time i hear it. timeless.
i just feel like it's a rip off of a stones guitar riff...i'm sure that's been discussed somewhere in all the 690 comments here, but i am too lazy to scroll to look. did they get called out for plagurizing at all for this?
i like the dandies, but this one is their best IMO.
The start of the song reminds me of Stones Brown Sugar.

I wish I was in my 40s.
So do I
All the people that felt like this song really spoke to them when it came out are now in their 40's....
I wish I was in my 40s.
ive been watching the video frequently
it rocks
I've always found it intriguing that one of the Dandy Warhols band members went on to be a real estate agent in Portland. I'm not sure that's a typical outcome of popular bands from the 2000s... you never hear stories about their members returning to a "normal" 9-5 job. I wonder if the band got screwed out royalties by their label.
That's Zia! I follow her Instagram and it largely seems like a practical way to diversify her income and still build a schedule around her band commitments. She'd started prior to the pandemic and due to touring life shutting down, it seemed to've worked out well.
Yep! I think that's intentional; the Dandies did a whole bunch of "appropriating" for this album. There's some Zeppelin and Burt Bacharach in other songs.
Does anyone besides me think of jumping jack flash at the beginning of this song?

That's pretty.... excellent, superb, uh, marvelous, ..... why can't I find the right adjective here.....
DANDY!
I agree! GREAT TUNE!!

Oh that song! I'm dancing! Oooo ooo oooh
Cubicle chair dancing !!
Thought this was the Stones from the intro.
Me too! GREAT TUNE!
girl
Wait, what?
Hahahaaa! This is 20 years old! Timeless classic. The monkeys will always be monkeys.
OOps, I'm nearly 70, but what the
A couple years later, but ditto for today.
Wooo!
Love it!

As someone who has been on both ends of this 'couch' situation, I can fully attest that sleeping on the couch sucks and sleeping in bed with the girl rules! Except when couch dude gets bent out of shape, doesn't leave, makes problems, etc. Sure wish I had this song to play back then!! Long Live RP!! And HJB, wherever you are, if you're still alive.....yeah...thanks for kicking him to the couch!!
Great post, friend. We're right in the middle of yet another one ...
was waiting for "Gold coast slaver bound for..." after the guitar intro
To me a SOLID 8 - Most Excellent
Even the name is an appropriation with a little twist. What else should folks expect?
Beck does this same thing, but he's more prolific. I don't see as many complaints with him, except maybe on the song Jackass.
Good call wolfy!
This is a wonderful set. Still have the headphones on and am not getting much work done.
Isn't that soo bizarre? Rock to Let It Be... so much happened between the two.
Last 15 years ...so fast!
Totally
yeah, me too!
I hope you never come to this: I lost the X-wife to the tune of Radiohead "Hail To The Thief" album which I listened to with my daughter over and over, on the way to Coachella. Now, 10 years on- very happily remarried, and all-is-cool- I still can't listen to "Backdrifts- Honeymoon is Over" without feeling a little seasickness. Yea, that song "captured it all" I suppose you could say.
So, did he get bent sleeping on the couch while you were there?
Everything is derivative; this band often does it overtly. The listener comments are almost the same in the threads for every one of their songs here (i.e. "...sounds like blablabla, derivative, etc.). Given the band's name, it should be apparent that their being conspicuously derivative is at least a part of what they're going for.
Derivative? Definitely. But damned good derivative. Gets my body moving every time.

definitely "whoa"
Bummed ?
What's wrong with that? The Stones have done many great songs and there is room for a few more like them.
I think it's quite a sharp satire, for a bunch of stoners. Funny thing about the Dandy Warhols: they do super-rocky numbers like this, you buy an album on the strength of those, and the rest of the album is mumblecore stoner stuff with the incisiveness of a marshmallow and the bite of an earthworm. 9 from the Nottingham jury for this number, but a nailed on Ho-Hum for most of their output.
Aren't you glad we live in a time that doesn't force you to buy an album of dross to get the one nugget you crave?

Agreed on all accounts. I acquired several of their works hoping for more output like this but found nothing equal to this and with a few exceptions found it mostly disposable...

Good point and probably could be directed to half of the posts on all of the song boards.
In fact, the entire song seems to have been constructed around that riff rip-off - almost as if they used to cover the stones before writing original material...
Like Keith Richards never lifted a riff?
As in Chuck Berry?

We need RnR!!! 21st century rock music sucks...so far.
Ding ding ding! I'm always amused by people who post the "ripoff" comments on the Dandy's songs.
Yep. And 13 years ago, too.
So people are like me?
Egads!
