I still think their album before this- The Dandy Warhols Come Down - is an amazing record that deserves some more RP play and is one of those you listen to the whole thing - amazing song transitions. I still hold out a thread of hope they might make a record like that one again.

I love this song, because it just perfectly captures the hipster pretense so prevalent here in Portland and the rest of the PNW, but does it in a light-hearted and funny way.

Love this band.Ought to be the National Anthem. But until we all start liking each other enough for that to happen we'll have to stick with Flobots' Handlebars as the anthem.
Saw them last week in Vancouver, BC. Neat how the drummer is not stuck at the back, everyone is front and centre.
rolling stones .................first
Wooo!
This is a great band and this is one of their hippest songs: witty lyrics, nicely mixed, "hoo hoo" background vocals, and a catchy melody with hooks galore.
Love it!
Love it!

As someone who has been on both ends of this 'couch' situation, I can fully attest that sleeping on the couch sucks and sleeping in bed with the girl rules! Except when couch dude gets bent out of shape, doesn't leave, makes problems, etc. Sure wish I had this song to play back then!! Long Live RP!! And HJB, wherever you are, if you're still alive.....yeah...thanks for kicking him to the couch!!

Even the name is an appropriation with a little twist. What else should folks expect?
Beck does this same thing, but he's more prolific. I don't see as many complaints with him, except maybe on the song Jackass.
Of course they are being derivative. Most everything they do is with their tongues placed firmly in their cheeks. But, hell, they are fabulous at being ironic.

I hope you never come to this: I lost the X-wife to the tune of Radiohead "Hail To The Thief" album which I listened to with my daughter over and over, on the way to Coachella. Now, 10 years on- very happily remarried, and all-is-cool- I still can't listen to "Backdrifts- Honeymoon is Over" without feeling a little seasickness. Yea, that song "captured it all" I suppose you could say.

Everything is derivative; this band often does it overtly. The listener comments are almost the same in the threads for every one of their songs here (i.e. "...sounds like blablabla, derivative, etc.). Given the band's name, it should be apparent that their being conspicuously derivative is at least a part of what they're going for.
Derivative? Definitely. But damned good derivative. Gets my body moving every time.

Such a great song I hate to think it's trop derivative, but......I suppose you have a point.

I think it's quite a sharp satire, for a bunch of stoners. Funny thing about the Dandy Warhols: they do super-rocky numbers like this, you buy an album on the strength of those, and the rest of the album is mumblecore stoner stuff with the incisiveness of a marshmallow and the bite of an earthworm. 9 from the Nottingham jury for this number, but a nailed on Ho-Hum for most of their output.
Aren't you glad we live in a time that doesn't force you to buy an album of dross to get the one nugget you crave?

Agreed on all accounts. I acquired several of their works hoping for more output like this but found nothing equal to this and with a few exceptions found it mostly disposable...

Perfect example of "Good Time" Rock and Roll!
From the Stones to this cannot be a coincidence, right? But hey, it's a really "likable" Bohemian song.....even if they are taking the Mickey out of it.

Acceptable. Rolling stones riff rip-off and exceptionally naff lyrics, but easy listenin'

My god! We need more bands trying to emualate or rip off the Rolling Stones! Or Led Z. Or Beatles. Or Allmans. Or Grateful Dead. Or Pink Floyd. Or Yes. Or Bob Dylan. Or The Who. Or Little Feat. Or Eric Clapton.
We need RnR!!! 21st century rock music sucks...so far.

is it me or does this song sound an awful lot like a blend of "jumpin jack flash" and "brown sugar"??
...because there are so many songs like this one? NOPE! How cool....
Wow, it took about a thousand times before I got sick of this one. I liked it for a week.

The frequency with which this song is played is writing a check that its musical value cannot possibly cover. Enough already.

Say what you want but there's a reason this is following the Stones in Bill's playlist. These m'fers can rock.

Well, I really dig this song. Too bad it's been done before. Lots of people have noticed, but can I be the only one offended that it's a re-handed Brown Sugar with high "Woo-hoo's" in it? Dudes, write your own catchy as hell riff.

I find plenty to enjoy in it, but for me its not an all-time great.
It's a good fun track with fun lyrics that are also universally acceptable for kids of all ages to belt out as loud as they can. What's not to enjoy?
Someone will always find something not to enjoy...which is fine. I'll assume they find enjoyment in something else on RP (or why else would they be here?).
I find plenty to enjoy in it, but for me its not an all-time great.
Well, I really dig this song. Too bad it's been done before. Lots of people have noticed, but can I be the only one offended that it's a re-handed Brown Sugar with high "Woo-hoo's" in it? Dudes, write your own catchy as hell riff.
