Heard this song ONCE on MTVs 120 Minutes back in the 90s, stuck ever since. Worth it.

I've always loved this song. Since the early 90's. 808 state too

Holy shnikes!! Get out of my head!!!

Truth

[@ericmercaldo7840]

I remember thinking how great this song sounded when it came out. Now I realize that it would have sounded great 20 years earlier or 20 years later and beyond. Timeless rock.

[@gratefultedd969]

I've always said the same...20 years too late or too early, fact is , this is a kick ass song.

[@BayAreaJaybo]

He had a brief but great run as everyone's favorite guitarist.

[@RichardKelly]

Still rocks 30 years later!

[@daddyosink4413]

Oddly enough I got reintroduced to this tune because it was used as bumper music on a local talk station.... took me DAYS to find it online. Saw him at a festival in Atlanta back in the day along with Soup Dragons, The Connels, Jesus and Mary Chain, The Cramps, B52s, and a bunch of others.... I ended up in the first aid tent... remember kids, beware the brown acid.

[@mykolas566]

This whole album was fantastic, if you like this song go give the whole album a whirl.

[@fredcapolongo5909]

This entire album is incredible... one of the rare albums without a single "meh" song. That's some rarefied company.

[@rustybearden1800]

I still listen to it at least once a month for old time's sake - it has aged remarkably well - I think it's Matthew's best work!

I'm 58 and have fond memories of the 90s music scene and I remember when this tune dropped. I also have fond memories of playing this song on Guitar Hero on my PS2.

[@thewall283]

Same here for me. I enjoyed learning to play this song on Guitar Hero. I was in high school when this video came out and kept wondering what cartoon was this from. I finally saw Space Adventure Cobra last night and it's pretty cool and worth checking out.

No he wasn't.

[@525Lines]

Probably not. Can you give earlier examples?

He probably wasn't the first music artist to have a video with reused anime. Backing it up would have been nice but whatever.

[@theBaron0530]

I finally decided to hum it into the google app and with an 8% match I FINALLY FOUND THE SONG! I love this track brings back the 90s when i was growing up !!! Great times

[@brucemcleod6300]

That crazy lick at 2:11 - 2:16 is Robert Quine showing you what only great guitarists do, play the soulful notes that make both the song and the solo bigger.

Saw Matthew Sweet on this tour at The Beacon Theater in NYC in 1991(?) with The Indigo Girls (they had the same manager). They sold out several consecutive nights and I went and saw at least 4 of the shows. This lineup of Sweet's band was INCREDIBLE! One of the best live touring bands I've ever seen and they played the song lineup from the Girlfriend album just flawlessly. Oh, the great 90s memories when bands were up and coming a mile a minute. What a fabulous time to be alive and to be a music fan!

[@salvation7362]

One of the most underrated musicians of the 90's. It's insane that this video only has 384k views in 2017... This is CD is gold people. Back when you bought "albums" and not songs on itunes. This is in my top 5 albums of all time, period.

[@Soufriere84]

An Irony, I guess -- You can buy the Girlfriend album in its entirety on iTunes. I did, but I'd like a physical copy too if I can find one so I can jam out in my car (I've only managed to find two of his CDs locally).

I remember browsing through Tower Records on Sunset and coming across this CD. The beautiful Tuesday Weld on the cover was what caught my eye but then I listened to a few tracks and purchased it immediately. I drove around LA all afternoon with this blasting. It was a perfect day then and this album is still one of my favorites.

[@leebasham6100]

I grew uo with Matt. We smoked a lot of weed, back in Lincoln NE. Not much else to do but grow more and make music. Really nice guy--one of the rich kids with a ton of talent. We all had his cassettes--I liked the song about China.

I've never been much for anime, but man modern stuff looks so flat and lifeless compared to stuff from the 80's. These clips look GOOD. Matthew Sweet's music is just as much of a jam now as it was when I was in high school. So freaking good.

[@mexojay]

Robert Quine is amazing on this track. In fact, without his guitar, I don't think this song has the same potency.

[@drouhin]

He makes the song, basically. There's not much of a song outside that guitar. (No disrespect to Mathew Sweet, a fine songwriter who's written other great songs.) But Quine takes those bare bones and turns them into genius. Truly great work.

[@jarablue]

Robert Quinn

[@alanstrom2221]

@@leonmosk8462 Anthony Quinn was an Actor. Robert Quine is the Guitarist. He played on 2 albums with Richard Hell & The Voidoids. In the early 1980s, Lou Reed drafted Quine to join his group. He appeared on The Blue Mask (1982), widely regarded as one of Reed's best albums. Throughout the 1980s, Quine made appearances as a session player on records by Tom Waits, John Zorn, Marianne Faithfull and Scritti Politti. Quine appeared on They Might Be Giants' 1994 album John Henry, and he also worked with pop songwriters/singers Lloyd Cole and Matthew Sweet during this period. Sweet's biggest hit song, "Girlfriend," is anchored by Quine's frenetic, squealing guitar work. After the death of his wife Alice in August 2003, Quine died by suicide due to a heroin overdose in his New York home on May 31, 2004.[17]
