i actuall remember hearing this song in a trailer for the show conviction a number of years ago, which ended up being a huge flop, but at least it introduced me to this song
@GenuineAmericanFolk I think it's cool that people are all brought here to enjoy the song together, whether they discovered it on their own or not. They're here now, listening, having made the effort to look up the song. Why the bitterness?
@Mwstmrlnd I wasn't trying to sound bitter. But most people are just looking for thumbs up when saying things like "parks and rec brought me here". Ultimately it doesn't matter.
I'm not trying to be confrontational, but I'm very disappointed to see comments where people chastise others for discovering a song on TV or whatever. Why is that a bad thing? Be happy that great music like this is getting noticed! Don't be snobby! I've discovered a bunch of amazing songs from television, movies, and even commercials. To quote the Doobie Brothers, "Listen to the Music!" :) Sorry! I had to get that off my chest! Great song, and great show! They both put a smile of my face!
@TicTacsOrange thanks so much for saying what i've felt forever! i cant imagine why it wouldn't be celebrated that such great music gets exposed to the masses, rather people would have it be enjoyed by a select few. Good music isn't whats appreciated by a few "cool" kids who happen to know it, its music that can hit a chord with people from many different walks of life.
when I heard this song on parks and recreation I literally freaked out and started singing along because I mean what could be better? one of my favorite songs + one of my favorite shows = pure.joy.<3333
but it's kind of sad to see that so many people hadn't heard this song before the show..
@sequinsminustheglove yeah they speed on the song on youtube so it won't get removed. the album version is a lot slower (and that's the version they played on parks and rec)
parks and recreation <3
