This, ladies and gentlemen, is my 100th post on the blog, and so I'm gifting to you what I've recently decided is my favorite song of all time.
It's that moment, halfway through the song, just after the second chorus...where the snare comes in, and if you're at a live show, everyone starts clapping rhythmically; people love this song so much, they know the right moment to start the clapping. That moment is why I love this song: it gives me chills right now just thinking of it. That, and Ted's awesome falsetto. And the great, poetic lyrics, which Ted told us (on the late great radio show) were about an Irish funeral. And the fact that this song totally sounds like "The Boys Are Back In Town," in the best possible way.
When we first discovered this song on the aforementioned radio show, we played it every week for an entire semester and never got tired of it. And I don't think (unlike "Hey Ya," which lasted a relatively long time) I ever will.
