DAY 709
Wheatus - Sunshine
From "Wheatus"
Year: 2000
I was happy (and a bit surprised) to have recently gotten a couple of genuine responses from Wheatus on Twitter, and that made me curious to see how many of their songs I've already picked in this blog. Surely there were at least a couple of selections by now! I was quite surprised to see that the answer was a big, fat zero. That ends this morning!
I'm actually embarrassed that it took me THIS long to pick a song by the band! Rachael beat me to it, and has already picked TWO of their songs: "Teenage Dirtbag" and "Sunshine".
When I look at your face I see dirt
All the sunshine you blow up my ass starts to hurt
Does that couplet get your attention? It sure worked for me when I first heard it.
We bought the self-titled Wheatus album after hearing "Teenage Dirtbag" on the radio, not knowing if any of the rest of the album was going to be any good. "Truffles" was a great, solid album opener, but "Sunshine" was the song that solidified my belief that we had probably just bought a fantastic album at a reasonable price. I was right. "Wheatus" is incredibly solid, and our group of friends have listened to the entire album countless times by now.
"Sunshine" has hilarious lyrics, a cool arrangement, catchy melody, and my head nearly exploded when I first heard that riff that follows the chorus.
