I found out about the shins from garden state, my sis had it on vhs when I was in gr. 5 and I couldn't be happier that I found them through such a lovely movie. That scene where natalie portman puts the head phones on whats his face and 'new slang' plays :) *sigh*.. How lovely
Extremely with capital letters eh? Well your right I actually saw the Garden State before I knew about the Shins. The movie was so bad everything that I have everything in my power to avoid sitting through such a dull 102 min. excuse for a movie. However years later I got a copy of Oh Inverted World & enjoy every ounce of it. So I guess you could associate one with the other via soundtrack however I never have& I apologize for speaking for everyone else with such an ignorant statement.
actually technically the original was done by malvina reynolds not pete seeger but everyone has done a cover of this song so its hard to see its roots... great song no matter who sings it and great analogy to american living lmao
this is a song from pete seger it's an awsome song. it esentialy disposes the average american life living and working for every peice of junk we buy in the world. very beautiful annalogy.
You're an idiot. Malvina Reynolds wrote this song in the 60s, then Pete Seeger: FOLK SINGER EXTRAORDINAIRE popularized it. There have been so many covers of this song through the ages, it's like the House of the Rising Sun of the folk world.

@Annoymous565 I think it's because they no longer live in Agrestic, so the song wouldn't be appropriate anymore. =)
