She was underwhelmed If that's a word I know it's not 'Cause I looked it up That's one of those skills That I learned in my school I was overwhelmed And I'm sure of that one 'Cause I learned it Back in grade school When I was young She said, "You is funny" I said, "You are funny" She said, "Thank you" And I said, "Never mind" And she rolled her eyes Her beautiful eyes The point is not the grammar It's the feeling That is certainly in my heart But not in hers But not in hers But not in hers But not in hers We were talkin' about people That eat meat I felt like an ass 'Cause I was one She said, "It's okay" But I felt like I just ate my young She's obviously A person with a cause I told her that I don't smoke or drink She told me to loosen up On her way to the L.C. She skips her classes And gets good grades I go to my courses Rain or shine She's passed her classes While I attend mine While I attend mine While I attend mine While I attend She wrote out a story About her life I think it included Something about me I'm not sure of that But I'm sure of one thing Her spelling's atrocious She told me to read Between the lines And tell her exactly What I got out of it I told her affection had two F's Especially when You're dealing with me I usually notice All the little things Once time I was proud of it She says it's annoying She cursed me up and down And rolled her R's (Her beautiful R's) She says I'm caught up In triviality All I really wanna know Is what she thinks of me I think my love for her Makes me miss the point I miss the point I miss the point I miss the point I miss the point I miss the point I miss the point Hey mister

May 18, 2008 - Me too, I never could understand why this one didn't get posted. It was *huge*, their first hit. Glad you're happy it's up (part of the point in posting these things)

RainNBlood Says:
Jun 30, 2008 - Absolutely one band that should have made it big, but it's great to have the sounds, regardless!

Jul 14, 2008 - They did for a while, Rain -- for a Canadian band, they were major ...Not as major as the Hip, but that's a good thing.
L2pewpew Says:
Aug 6, 2008 - The Hip puts on an awesome concert! SO do the Trews actually...these guys were pretty good too haha

Aug 6, 2008 - I know, I can't help it, I scream when I hear Rush and the Barenaked Ladies, too, even though they're really good (overexposure?)

Aug 7, 2008 - Sloan could've been huge, they broke it off witih Geffen. They stuck to indie lables. to avoid being sell-outs i presume. Can you produce good music and make it big? it's becoming less and less possible. moreso in Canada. Virtually no global representation.

Aug 10, 2008 - man, this song takes me back like none other! |:)
NEONMAN12345 Says:
Aug 22, 2008 - they didnt break off, geffen dropped them, and they stuck to the label they made

Sep 13, 2008 - so..no promo video for this song? hard to believe since they were pushed for at least a little while in the USA...i love new sloan, haven't thought/remembered to check this one out until now..
1michelemichele1 Says:
Sep 13, 2008 - I wish I knew: I just don't remember, andybodor. I have two versions of this song, one's the promo distributed as store play copies, the other the album. I can't remember a video, but that doesn't mean a thing: there was a lot going on at the time. I *do* recall that Sloan came right out of the blue, the industry was amazed as their this song shot up the charts, and reps were unusually pleased. They were pretty proud of the band. Alas, I just don't recall a video.

Sep 14, 2008 - There is a video for this song. I've seen it on MuchMusic. I'm surprised it has never been uploaded on YouTube.
akolade Says:
Sep 23, 2008 - What no video? There are two videos for this song, one for each version (EP version and LP version). Very different versions. The first video has young members of Thrush Hermit (Joel Plaskett, Rob Benvie) playing spin the bottle. The LP version has Sloan being shot from inside a car window.. I forget what happens, other than a squeegy on fire.

Nov 2, 2008 - I got this song off of a CD compilation out of the back of a Rolling Stone magazine, snail mail order. Thunderkiss 69 was on there along with others. What a complation. This song got three college idiots (me being one) moshing in a dorm room just out of the blue! What a song, thanks for posting, brings me back years on a late night of All Hollows Day party at home ready to crash. Ciao. burp.
