When Modest Mouse hit the scene with this song a few years ago, it took awhile for the modern rock crowd to accept originality and great riffs in their music. In fact, it probably wouldn't have hit #1 if it hadn't been for Nickelback being in the studio with their best-seller. But when they finally came around to the song, they saw it for what it was, an original rock piece that would go down as a rock classic from the 2000's, and a riff that would go down in history as the bumper-music for many a radio program.

Right off the bat, you get those classic rock riffs that just scream awesome with every note. They're memorable, rockin', and most importantly, original. The verses continue the trend with the catchiness and the trademark Modest Mouse style. It might not make the most sense at first, but it all blends in one amazing song. And even though those trademark Modest Mouse vocals are incredibly hard to work-around usually, in this song they're perfect. Nope, original songs require original vocals. No Nickelback notes are allowed here.

Overall, this is going to be one of those songs that goes down in those Rolling Stone best of music books. It's original in every manner, and it has great riffs and chords to keep you rockin' through the night. Modest Mouse's best by a mile, and it's nice to know there's still classic rock ruling the radio waves.

I had actually forgotten about this song until I heard it on the radio yesterday. It's a must have!!
