Pffft. . . he said repetitive twice. . . Snigger. . . (/pedant)
The CRACKER-"fan" says this is a rather amateurish-highschoolish song!
I like this—and the Robyn Hitchcock sounding guitar in it.

Which is probably why there are no World Air Sitar Championships, like there are for air guitar.  Less room for self-expression.

 
I don't know dude. Stroking the strings between your legs! Seems like the BEST self expression out there. if you know what I mean.

I just love Camper Van Beethoven. 'Nuff said. {#Sunny}
I like this. Very poppy. {#Yes}

Me too.  I was playing along on the air-sitar.  It's a lot like playing air-guitar, but you play sitting cross-legged instead of standing up.

This is one freaky little ditty, to be sure-- I love the Stone Roses Syd Barrett George Harrison Byrds-kinda thing they got going here! Thanks, Bill!
Take that miserable attitude right out the door and slam it firmly in the can where it belongs. A very respectable set. HazzeSwede wrote:

Excellent line up for the last half hour, but now I'm starving for the music on my iPod so I can stay in this same vien for the rest of the day in the office.

Camper van Beethoven is dead. Long live Camper van Beethoven. Got some funny ideas about what sounds good.

Brilliant!
Love CRACKER, ....but CamperVB? Sorry, haveen't heard a single good song of them yet! Stingray!

If I would have only the music to go by, I would have guessed that this was a Beatles song. Especially, the singer sounds like John Lennon. Yet AMG describes them as a "merging of punk, folk, ska, and world musics". Interesting... Oh, I see now I'm not the first to notice Beatles-similarities: Pyro wrote:
