that riff is played throughout almost the entire song, the only
exceptions being when the bass is silent. good song, fun to play.

| I believe this is one of the best songs about summer: it deals with love, parties, and sunny afternoon shit to do. "1996 1997 1998 we're all waiting for the year 2000" I love that line, even though its now 2003 because that is how I always feel during summer, excited--waiting for something big to happen. "just the smell on the summer can make me fall in love" ditto to the other post, summer's like that, it's something in the air, its the best, or perhaps the only time to fall in love "we go to the parties listen to the DJ's dance dance dance and go crazy" Everytime I hear these lyrics it brings back memories of my senior year summer, going to parties, all your friends there, drinking, being free. "hold the slip slide taste the sweat it's salty irrigation ditch and a swimming hole" These are summer afternoons, one of the things that make life worth living--chilling, swimming, smoking buds. Great song, one I think many Modest Mouse fans overlook to often, one of my favorites. | |

| Yeah, if this doesnt make you cut a rug, you need to get out of your coma. The song is about being young....thats it, and that is enough. | |

| this songs lyrics are very simplistic in terms of there content compared to most other Modest Mouse songs but still as moving as most. it seems to be a song very personal to Isaac and he seems to be referencing his personal nostalgia inducing memories. it seems to simply be about being young, romantic and about beauty. very upbeat and a masterpiece in songwriting, not the reason began to love Modest Mouse but a reason to make me love them more. | |

| ok, I do like this song but I am never in the mood for it when I hear it because it is very upbeat. usually I listen to this CD when I am driving and contemplating the trees. The first line is my favorite. It makes me laugh every time. Doesn't it sound like something a crazy/drunk friend would say to you before embarking on an adventure? | |
