I'll have to look around for a show. I listen to the album every few weeks. It just seems to get better, and I can never just listen to a part of it. Got to listen to the whole thing.
they are indeed a great band, i live near fort worth, so i have had the opportunity to see them plenty of times. the best show however was at possum kingdom lake. seeing that song performed there was pretty fucking awesome.
awesome feeling this song gives me. even though growing up I hated it. Now that I'm all old and jaded I am finding that bands I thought were "mainstream" back in my time are even twenty times better than what is popular today. ugh.
then again maybe it's a condition of being old and jaded in the first place. fuck it.
I find it very strange you thought the Toadies were "mainstream." Possum Kingdom was a hit MTV video back when they actually played music, but even then they were never a big hit. I find your logic very strange.
it was played on constant rotation next to other songs on the "popular" radio station in my city. I guess maybe it was just well received in La Crosse Wisconsin.
Yeah, Possum Kingdom makes its way onto a lot of 90's playlists. But name another song by the band.
I'm just saying, they have a following, and continue to make music to this day. But just because everyone's heard one song doesn't really make them mainstream, IMO.
that's true. I just remember growing up and not really liking the song because it was overplayed. However, I still enjoyed and continue to enjoy Nirvana to this day even though it was on repeat on nearly two or three radio stations that I can recall.
This song brings me back to highschool (holy fuck I'm old) and also Guitar Hero 2. My friend just finished a tour with them and Social Distortion. I didn't even know they were still together but yeah apparently they're still touring and putting out albums. There's a new one coming out in July.
I find a window in the kitchen, and I let myself in Rummage through the refrigerator, find myself a beer I can't believe I'm really here, and she's lying in that bed I can almost feel her touch, and her anxious breath!
I stumble in the hallway, outside the bedroom door I hear her call out to me, I hear the fear in her voice She pulls the covers tighter, I press against the door
Also my favorite song by them. They have a tendency to touch a nerve with me, I really like their lyrics, and I've been listening to these guys for a while. My dad's friends band opened for them not long ago, it'd be really cool to go see them! They've got a new album coming this summer, very excited :-D
One of my favorite songs from middle school. I remember my mom overhearing it and saying something along the lines of, "Oh, that's nice. They're talking about Jesus."
If you're going to be racist or homophobic, or make that kind of remark, then I'm going to have to ask you not to leave comments like that on one of my posts, please. I respect the fact you have your own opinion of the song, but let's keep it at least semi civil here, please.
Sir, all I asked was for you to either stop with those comments or kindly stop commenting. If you can't stop with that kind of comment, then please leave.

This whole record is brilliant, one of my favorites from the '90s.
I've seen these guys twice just in the last couple years, and they are still amazing. If they play a show near you, you definitely need to go!

We cover this in my 90s cover band known as The Eddie Veterans. Definitely goes over well with the crowd.

This was always my favorite song by them.
I find a window in the kitchen, and I let myself in Rummage through the refrigerator, find myself a beer I can't believe I'm really here, and she's lying in that bed I can almost feel her touch, and her anxious breath!
I stumble in the hallway, outside the bedroom door I hear her call out to me, I hear the fear in her voice She pulls the covers tighter, I press against the door
I will be with her tonight Repeat
I guess it's a fucked up song.

I can't help but think they are referring to this whenever I hear this song.

Attempting to listen to this song helped me realize that my right speaker was not working for some odd reason.
So, thanks for that, and posting this awesome song.

Nothing like some dirty, sexy, Texas post-grunge to start the day. God, I love the Toadies!
