"I changed my mind so much I don't even trust it, my mind's changed me so much I can't even trust myself." MM

I've always loved this unique, catchy song. Living in the Seattle area for many years like I did, I had heard of Modest Mouse, but this was the first - and also the last - song of theirs I ever heard. I would say their main influence in this song is clearly The Talking Heads. I always love the way the lead singer chirps his voice upwards at the same exact point in every single line. It's quirky, catchy and memorable. ❤ _And we'll all float on, okay..._

This song has the very definition of a "bone-deep hook", but MM has a whole catalog of really good songs that most people haven't even heard!!

By far their peppiest song and hence their biggest hit. But man, these guys had two albums about 25 years ago (yeesh, really?), The Lonesome Crowded West and Moon Over Antarctica that are still in heavy rotation on my playlists. Magical.

@@erikgilson1687I’m so amazed that her name keeps coming up recently for me. People seem to have forgotten about her and I did too, but she was really popular a bit ago and is so talented and good!!

my dashboard melted

This song is just class, a really great upbeat song with positive vibes and great soundscape.

I love when people enjoy modest mouse

I really loved this song. Would you please consider doing something by "CRASH TEST DUMMIES"?? I love them. :) My favourites are: "The Ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead", "Afternoons and Coffeespoons", "God Shuffled His Feet", "Swimming in your Ocean". Thanks, Guys.

You definitely need to check out XTC. VERY influential to a lot of artists.

I think you would like another hit of theirs called Dashboard.

"I wish I could hit upon a pleasant track of thought, a track indirectly reflecting credit upon myself, for those are the pleasantest thoughts, and very frequent even in the minds of modest mouse-coloured people, who believe genuinely that they dislike to hear their own praises." -Virginia Woolf

It's a fucked up story, jah? 🙃 They're my favorite band evvver

I've loved them for almost 20 years heh 🙃

Epic Band.. Check "Dashboard" "Ocean's Breathe Salty" "Lampshades On Fire" and "Fly Trapped In A Jar".. AND for Pixies "Here Comes Your Man" and fave "Monkey's Gone To Heaven".. You'll love it!!!

Need to do float on by the floaters

Making Plans For Nigel is a great XTC song

Thanks for checking out Modest Mouse. I lot of people just check out this song, but they have so much more amazing music. My favorite is Taking Sh*t About a Pretty Sunset. Hope you guys check out some more from them!

This is actually a pretty good debut album

I only know the song from playing the game Rock Band

The FBI has a saying, to stand in plainview and still be passed by. This is the same as the modest mouse saying. Means you are plain and blend into the crowd.

Dudes! XTC ! Next!

i thought this was goin to be float on by the floaters,classic lolol

Tune...

THE TOWN THEY ARE FROM IS CALLED ISSAQUAH in Washington State. PRONOUNCED "IS" LIKE IN THE WORD MIST, ISS UH QWA, IT MEANS THE SOUNDS OF BIRDS. IT IS IN THE SAMMAMISH RIVER VALLEY. NATIVE AMERICANS LIVED THERE, THEY WERE A 'SALISH' COASTAL TRIBE. THEY WERE, ALSO, CALLED 'SQUAH' . WHEN U MISPRONOUNCED THE NAME I CRINGED A LITTLE SO THOUGHT I WOULD CLEAR THAT UP FOR YOU, BTW NOT YELLING IN ALL CAPS FOR EFFICIENCY

I completely get the influence of XTC - particularly 'Making plans for Nigel ' - have a listen - I think you'll enjoy it 😊

I (short I )-saw-kwah

I’ve heard the song before. Not a huge fan of this type of music type but this one is okay. But I like the music much more than his voice. And it’s a lot more enjoyable without having to watch the video along with it. I visit Washington a lot - the city is pronounced ISS-A-QUAW.

I miss Ty

This song always reminds me of the OC

Where’s the other guy been?

Interesting ,?

Reacting to the one song you know by them already?

Sorry, never heard of this or the artist. I know who SpongeBob is but never watched any of it. Yeah I'm old.

Same here. Never heard of them. Now I've heard of them. I know SpongeBob, too. Watched an episode with a grandchild. It gave me Tourettes. Seen the Float On notification. Was hoping it would be the Floaters. 4 cats as smooth as Barry White.

They're huge in the NW. Love them.

MISSING OUT on this band (and you did FLOCK OF SEAGULLS??????), they have many non radio songs that are beyond fantastic (MANY TIMES ON LATE NIGHT TV SHOWS)!! Like this band, you haven't ventured into many realms like Nine Inch Nails (ROCK AND ROLL HALL FAME BAND) and THE CURE (ROCK AND ROLL HALL FAME BAND) who started it before DEFTONES (great band who tribute NIN AND THE CURE FOR THEIR VENTURE)! (Don't just play the crap radio songs----PLAY THE GOOD STUFF - GOOGLE IT if you need to- like: kzread.info/dash/bejne/q6d62tSJfs3cfqQ.html or kzread.info/dash/bejne/qqucpLSDg9fgZ9o.html

Be FRESH NOT STALE, regurgitate what many channels play-gets your minimal views-BUT YOU ARE MISSING OUT on the real VIEWS!!!! If you want views, do METALLICA, BLACK SABBATH, LED ZEPPLIN, ETC of course, BUT MANY LISTENERS LOVE certain bands and you play only their radio songs which aren't their best songs. OPEN YOUR CHANNEL- you might find the VIEWS increase!!!!
