@TheLarryBrown2 жыл бұрын
@@LC-ht7sg It's not just the line, but also how well it works in the context of the song and the BNL personae. It was really gutsy to put such a trite, juvenile, corny line into a song destined for the top 40. In Beatles parlance it was "cheeky." When you hear the line you admire the courage of the song writer and it also fits with the image of the BNL as a borderline novelty act. The fact that the song made it to the top 40 only solidifies your admiration. On top of that, the line works well with the footloose and fancy free world the rest of the lyric has built. All of that combines to make it a great line, in addition to the funny, whimsical face value. An analogy would be Andy Warhol making a high profile work of art out of soup cans. The soup can itself has limited value, but when placed in the context of Andy's ouvre and placed in an art show, it becomes something more, and made Andy a star.

"Pinch Me" was, I think, the last song to be written for the record. I wrote it up on the third floor of my house, just feeling a bit melancholy; sometimes you look around, and things are great, and you just kind of feel down, and there's no reason for you to - you have an inability to appreciate your surroundings sometimes. That's what I was trying to get at, some of the boredom of pristine suburbia and the potential lying under every yawn. I had a basic framework in mind, but couldn't finish it off, really. It was a hard one to write, because of the sort of quick singing/rapping; I was so scared people were gonna go, "Oh, it's like 'One Week,'" which it isn't. But I was so paranoid people would think that that I almost didn't write it. ---Ed Robertson

He was right; the bouncy, feel-good tempo notwithstanding you can't look at this video without thinking of the Henry David Thoreau quote: "The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation."

The song is based upon a person suffering from depression. In the lyrics they address several instances of what a depressed person might feel. The key ones are "sleep away the afternoon", "on an evening such as this, it's hard to tell if I exist". I've been down this path before but I appreciate their lyrics and I do love the Barenaked Ladies.

I can't put my finger on WHY but this song reminds me of an uneventful day in late September some 30+ years ago on the farm where I grew up (somewhere between summer and autumn). More inexplicable still, I can't identify WHY I remember this particular day at all. Perhaps I wouldn't have-had this song not come out. It's weird how music works sometimes.

A friend introduced me to this band. I must say am in love with this band. Almost all their songs have very sweet, simple, daily life kinda lyrics with a nice tone. SIMPLICITY IN ITS BEST FORM.

After all these years, still my favorite BNL song. A clever rant against the crushing conformity of life, reaching back to the short lived joys of childhood.

This is such a classic BNL song: intense meaning hidden behind a uptempo beat. I miss old BNL so much. :(

I remember this video came on endlessly on Insomiac Music Theater, back when Vh1 still showed music.

I was a Kindergartner staying up late watching that show. The transitions scared the crap outta me, but the videos and the music were all kickass It also, coincidentally, got me into Björk. lol

July 2024...outside watering my garden...ran through the sprinkler and immediately this song came to mind...so once I finished, I "changed into some drier clothes" and "climbed the stairs up to my room" so I could "sleep away the afternoon". Thanks for the reminder to nap during the Hottest part of hot days!😂

“Pack the car and leave this town” is the best thing I ever did. It took COVID for me to realize that there’s a better life elsewhere.

listening to this out of pure nestalgia. I'm a senior in high school and everytime I hear this I will remember the amazing educational dean I had in school. I remember coming into his office for eschool every tuesday and thursday. this is one of the songs he would play in his office as he worked it had a very inviting vibe there. he also held the board game club which to me was the best club I've ever been in. I will never forget all those times we played cthulhu wars and used his own expansions. every game with him was full of chaos, intensity, humor, and laughter. I just wish I had joined in more of those games. He was also one of the only people in the entire school I could have a conversation about cthulhu mythos and understand. he even let me borrow an encyclopedia on it for a bit even though he got it from someone very special to him. he was very understanding and unlike any other dean I have ever come to know, he always solved problems right away rather than looking into them later. if he sees this comment someday I want him to know just how grateful I am to him he was fun, understanding, kind, generous, and even tolerated my playful smack-talk during dodgeball club and belegarth, which I admit I tended to get carried away with.

...the perfect time for 🤨🍔😐 lunch... just a very cool song ... love it... 👍
Most bands are fortunate to have one tune well-remembered, let alone more. Turns out BN's have at least four: If I Had $1000000, Brian Wilson, One Week, and THIS (still) underrated gem.

This song just came on and the timing couldn't be more perfect.. hits hard for so many reasons.... But now that my 10&12 year old sons try to make me say "underwear" all the time -- and packing my car to leave town only up end up back where I started but better than ever & full of more self love than I ever imagined made my eyeballs water really a lot 🥹💜 So grateful for songs such as this one that kept me going then, and keep me goin now 🙌💚
