Woah.. yeah, I was going to comment on this song, but the Undone (The Sweater Song) and I Bleed comment was relevatory for me. It's so freaking true, although I never pinpointed it before. Anyway, awesome song....

I'm going to have to go against you all (and the pixies, although i love them so), and go with Weezer's version of this song. I don't know why, I just seem to enjoy the cover more.

Yes i agree Weezer did do a great cover for this song but the original is better.

incognito, what do you mean? i'm curious to know how they "ripped it off" when the songs are nothing alike...
