I am a fan of offbeat and unusual songs; kept hearing this on a local radio staion and finally just had to have it. Cake is creative, interesting, and good. I will be checking out their other music as well. In the meantime, enjoy this!

I've been a fan of Cake since first hearing Short Skirt/Long Jacket after an overnight shift more than 10 years ago.

This song combines subtle horns, car/male/female relationship allegories and a singable hook into an enjoyable single. Think of the Beastie Boys or Bloodhoud Gang, pumped up with a giant dose of erudition.

A great choice for your road trip or workout mix...
