and my kind of song - absolutely no idea what it’s about so it means something different almost every time I hear it.

Otherwise, you're relegated to just "bad de bo de bo de ba ho la lo le yo" which I have to admit to doing more than once in the car...

Still a great tune.

I've watched that a few times and I know those words, unlike the real ones, and they do kinda make sense. My favorite is "make me fries," though.

The guitar work (not to mention the impeccable production) in this song is so fucking genius it almost makes me weep.

I've probably heard this song like 200 times at least.

Never gets old.

I actually think Eddie was going for a Michael Stipe-style cryptic vocal performance.
