If you're between 20 and 25, though, the band you were crazy into at 12 or 13 is the Presidents of the United States of America. Strange but true.

I guess it's like the 'Goonies' if you never saw that movie as a kid, watching it now makes you wonder waht all the fuss is about.

PS: I get in arguments over the Goonies all the time. Last week even. It's like 'War and Peace' but with truffle shuffle.

and despite the bounciness of the tune, that chorus contains some of the most heartbreakingly wistful lines ever committed to tape.

"Birdhouse in Your Soul" is still their #1 all-time greatest classic hit though. I can't think of another song that has so consistently made me want to jump up and down. And for 18 years running!

"I don't want the world. I just want your half".
