I think a better comparison would be Sugar Ray adding "Fly" to their album at the last minute.

Ha.  Well, the rub there is, I didn't know they did that.

  No.  It's a great song.  "Girlfriend" is an awful song.  
 
 I'm sorry it isn't a hugely popular, No. 1 song like "Smashing Pumpkins'" "Tarantula."
 

if it means anything to you, i think tarantula sucks too. [/b]

unfortunately, thats probably the best song on the album. ok, maybe doomsday clock is better. not much, but slightly.

 It's like the great Ryan Adams crossover single everyone's waiting for.  Maybe it's a heart-on the-sleeve guy thing.  "I'd walk to you if I had no other way."
 

I had heard it was about one of the guys dogs. Seeing that lyric, I now believe it. Have never heard the song though.

Skylarking works much better in its original form with "Mermaid Smiled" instead of "Dear God." Fortunately, it was put back in its proper place on the reissue. "Dear God" is now a bonus.

That's The Way My Love Is is the best track on there.

You haven't heard the parody Hey There Vagina.

i didnt care for the song when i first heard it, but now i love it but they do play it too much on the radio. it's been out for a long time too, but it seems people are just now catching on to it.

You honestly discredit yourself more and more with each and every post. [/b]

Amen. [/b]

I wasn't going to start a new thread on it, but I also honestly LOVE the new My Chemical Romance single, "Teenagers."  That's a great song, too.  It's got that Cheap Trick/Rocky Horror/Meatloaf/Alice Cooper vibe to it.
 
 Come on, drop your hipster pose.  Someone's also got to admit that that one's really short, funny and ebola-like contagious.

It's OK, but I liked "The Black Parade" more.

My Chemical Romance? I've never heard of them... are they a Pixies cover band or something?

No.  More like a HORRIBLE version of Queen.  But emo.  Bleeeech . . .

Brian Walalce seemed like a bitter, cynical, irrational dude . . . but Brian Wallace is a caring, sensitive soul.  Its like Dr. Walalce and Mr. Wallace, or vice versa.

I am not a hipster, but even I think that song is not very good.  The difference between that song and the influences you lsited is that most of those influences can sing.  I've grown tired of Gerard Way's screaming into the mic.
