when I was a kid, I was so ridiculously picky about music, yet I was so oblivious, so I really liked a couple songs. I got like a spiderman soundtrack, and I heard this and I really loved it.
I always forget about this song cause I bought the UK release, and it has New York City Cops in place of it. Great track here, haven't heard it in a long time.
Honestly, do you really need someone to confirm that that was Woody Allen? What if I said it wasn't? That it was just some guy who really, really looked like Woody Allen.
Shit! why couldn't they put both on the album? 12 songs is a good album! theres also others they shouldn't have droped "in her prime", "sagganuts" "the rithme song"
this song was on the american 'is this it' album instead of new york city cops - on english albums it was new york city cops instead of when it started both very good songs (btw this son rules!)
I totally agree, new york city cops it's ok but this is song is so much better i found this song in the spiderman soundtrack, and as i was listening i went "omg those has to be the strokes" great song
Memories of listening to the Spider-Man soundtrack are coming back...

listen closely, and you'll hear how the two guitars interact with each other.
How Julian sings it in a very Velvet Underground way.
and how Fab and Nikolai provide the amazing backbeat.

I'm not the only one who noticed Julian sounds like The Velvet Underground and Lou Reed.
Especially in "Perfect Day".
And you're so right about the two guitars.
