| I love this song, it makes me totally happy whenever I listen to it, and I like to clean bathrooms while listening to it! (Ok I don't like to clean bathrooms, but the rest is true). And by the way, it's the 'buddies and their honies' not 'homies'. | |

| Great song... I love it live... probably because it's always the best because it's the last. I dunno. | |
