The reasons why this was a MASSIVE seller are very simple

1- It's a really really good song, whether you LIKE it or not. Me, I always know when something's good even if I hate it!

2- It was very NEW & fresh when it came out. Unique!
#1 the melody is catchy up & down, #2 the lyrics are sharp,very conversational and universally understood... yeah that's right even the guy knows he's a piece of [naughty word removed] sitting at home with his wife or new girl...
Very effective way of putting something and in ways you never heard before. These lyrics like this song are STRIKING!
And the vocals which sound dated now were fresh for the times..
This is almost 20 years old....

3- Killer musicians make killer music! ESPECIALLY if they are contained within a good simple song structure by a Producer or themselves...

4- It's got a MIXTURE you can dance to it, it rocks, it speaks out with actually talk singing, it sings, it has a fist in the air chorus...

Actually my two favorite songs on this album are
Ironic & Learn
More great lyrics and music, trust me when I tell you...
POP songs that aren't stupid with great lyrics and killer playing... Not a bad idea right? smile


Thanks!
