This is the best work on the album and why it is also the title track. I still to this day think this is a one of their best compositions. It is indeed a dark and different twist from the many pop hits they have put out, but that is what makes it stand out to me.
@Scatman1701 Actually right at the very end Eric Stefani plays The Simpsons tune that Lisa does on the sax idk if you guys remember but he was one of the drawers for the show in the earlier seasons.
@SamildanachEmrys Yup, this one was a true monster when it came out. I remember having this on cassette, and each side ended with 'The Climb' and 'Tragic Kingdom', respectively. Whenever someone would comment on the band being 'sugary and poppy', I'd shake my head...then Eric left, 'Return of Saturn'/'Rock Steady' were released, and they shook their heads back and made me eat my shoes...
@Numonkei Same here. I had it on cassette too, and I always championed No Doubt as being better than everyone thought they were. But they were never the same after Eric left...
No Doubt was one of the first bands I liked when I got into music for myself. I have since moved on to other music but this song is still my favorite of theirs. Dark and chaotic! I wish they went in this direction more!
Listen carefully. This is not (just) a song about Disneyland or Disney Inc. or even "Disneyism." This is a song about something =much= bigger... Or just go on watching the tube and texting away about nothing meaningful.
Thanks for uploading this. We need regular people to upload songs. VEVO has raped Youtube and is killing it. They see something becoming popular and advertisers sink their bloody claws into it and destroy it. I HATE IT!
@Barfetta3000 Because of vevo the songs being uploaded eventually get taken down anyway. I guess this song isn't on vevo,so that's why it's still up. This reminds me of the days of napster, vevo is beneficial to more established artists because they want revenue from their consumers, but for smaller artists or lesser known songs, regular people sharing music helps lesser known artists/songs gain recognition.
there used to be something to this band i mean they're not super talanted their lyrics are a bit silly and the chorads and the hooks but they used to have this wierd energy and positiveness and something raw...they changed with the return of saturn it was a very sucky album rocksteady was a bit better but sucked too
@dearestlove101 I'm no kid I am someone who just loves this Gwen and wants everyone hear to know that even if it's sexual.Everyone thinks about sex you supposed Adult
good album...artful, conceptual, innovated, tasty, well recorded, with talent from every member...as I said before the only time I liked to hear distorted guitar...Im not a classic Bethoven fan, Im a Reggae, Ska Jamaican fanatic.
I love this album and remember going to a signing at the tower in tustin when it came out. "his tears are frozed stiff, icicles drip from his eyes" is a play on the myth that walt was frozen and resides under DL grounds somewhere.
She lived RIGHT BY IT, the title itself is a play on "The Magic Kingdom", and she's talking about dwarves and the Electric Parade. It couldn't really be about anything else.
yeah i was roaming through some cds from some collage kids that gave away a whole case and i found this one! (along with the return of saturn). its so awesome! too bad its all scratched up pretty bad and skips every now and then. :) i love this song, im glad i found that cd!
@Plantguy19 That happens because they encoded this video with mono audio and this was originally recorded in stereo and Gwen´s voice gets lost within the margin of audible data being ocupied by those frequencies pertaining to other instruments like guitars, bass and drums. Mono audio sucks but allows the video to load faster. Buy the CD it comes with a booklet with lyrics! :p
no im sorry i wasnt tryin to be a dick. i just meant like this song/band has been out forever, how could you not have heard of them to til... hence the remark about you age... lol.
Eh, for me... I think Rock Steady was pretty lame, but I liked it.. Then her first solo album's only great song was "Whatcha Waiting For" and the rest just went downhill :(
Hello people, I just want to say that I made a video for this song based on her story by placing photos according to their lyrical, so I hope you like and comment.
this song is about disneyland and it is so true too " hypmotised by fireflies that glow in the dark and midjets that disguise themselfs as tiny little dwarfs" wow thats deep dude. walt would not want disneyland to be the way it is 2day. Welcome to the trajic kingdom of disneyland!
i'm in a play and the opening dance is set to this song. we have 80 people doing the dance at once. it's veary cool. if woundering what play is its alice in wounderland.
I remember stealing this CD from my mom when I was about 5. I listened to it day and night, and this song was always my favorite....I think I lost it though. I never gave it back and haven't seen it since I was like 7 -_-
