This video/song combo just might be the perfect storm for my hatred. The sports themed video makes me want to smash my computer screen (I mean sports bloopers, really? Am I supposed to sit around and guffaw with my buddies while nodding my head knowingly to such moving lyrics as "Here comes Johnny singing oldies, goldies Be-Bop-A-Lula, Baby What I Say
Here comes Johnny singing I Gotta Woman Down in the tunnels, trying to make it pay")?

The cheesy pseudo carnival sound of the song makes me want to stomp kittens. A quick check on Wikipedia reveals "The song was nearly excluded from the album when the co-producer Neil Dorfsman voted against its inclusion, but the rest of the band out-voted him." You know what word shouldn't be in that sentence? NEARLY. And don't even get me started on that feeble red headband.

I remember when this would get played a lot back when I was in high school and I remember hating it then too. OK so I wouldn't even have ever thought about this mess ever again except someone in here is PLAYING IT, AAARGH! It makes me so angry!!
