[loofadog100]

OMG I Thought I was crazy and hearing things when I heard the monkey thing on my CD so I came here... and I was right...!

[shoofy20]

sounds like one of the eagles song,still all of rob thomas songs are the best!including matchbox20!my all time fave!

[Chainsy17]

good song, reminds me of INXS

[taker1z]

@Chainsy17 Yeah, I can kind of hear Need You Tonite in there.

[dumassister]

[jaclynandgracie]

LOL Fail. Subtract one minute from that. Best Part/Line is 2:35 :)

[jaclynandgracie]

OMG i love this song! I haven't listened to this since junior high. I heard this song for the 1st time in my social studies class, and again when my friends made up a dance to this during a spanish project! good times...good times Best part/line is 3:35 Other songs that made memories for me include Gasoline and Her Diamonds. Stay talented and unforgettable Rob Thomas!

Love this song!

[erinlouisebriere]

20 people can't feel the world spinning round and round and round :)

[KnG1Dakota]

why is there a monkey? o.O

[bLoNdIe3313]

@KnG1Dakota it's probably refering to the saying "monkey on your back"...maybe :) haha

[globalnova]

mmmbop!

[dylan3341]

its susposed to say wait instead of wait

[jessissleepy]

This song is one of Rob Thomas' best, IMO. It's one of those songs you play on a bad day and feel slightly better about your miserable situation. 

[CoheedFan28]

He really looks like Michael Cera on the cover of that album

[kcraven25]

@CoheedFan28 no, michael cera looks like rob thomas.. :p

jk jk

[InuWolf19]

"Doesn't take to much to get yourself to FEED YO MONKEY" *after chorus* "Wide awake now .... and yo monkeys DEAD"

[The19421966]

Awesome. Pure and Simple.

This is one of my favorite Rob Thomas songs. Next to Snowblind and Her Diamonds.

[francotheidontknow25]

[shanb4567]

[davefistr]

velik pesen

[russellshortland74]

Jess's Song

[hereinthebronx]

bla-bla-bla-same stupid story lines

WHINER!

[DevvviUuU]

speak round a round :D

[francotheidontknow25]

rob thoma's music gives me eargasms

and if you don't know what i meant by that

i meant it gives you ear orgasms

[Aquashiney]

I love this song, but whats up with the mention of a monkey?

[Gribbalicious]

@Aquashiney It's possible that the "monkey" is a metaphor. Something tells me that it shows how much the person doesn't care about anything? That's all I could think of.

[hannahunney]

@Gribbalicious A "Monkey on your back" is an addiction.

If somebody is feeding their monkey they are doing whatever they are addicted to. Alcoholics will start a fight with you, for example, just for an excuse to drink.

[JackieSnape80]

@Aquashiney It could be her ego? Or maybe it represents how easy it is for her to placate herself, or convince herself she's right?

[Tyco200]

I love Rob Thomas. :D One of my no.1 Favs.

[HolaDeco]

Who else reckons the guitar solo sounds like U2?

[elisabeth1293]

is it just me or does rob look michael cera?

[jedipro11]

great but my fav is this is how a heart breaKS

[cinamonloved]

This song makes me feel happy inside

[TheSteezyCheese]

best song on album

[TheNadiarox]

Genius Song!

[Teebonesteak123]

Awsome song! ^.^

[mikasmells]

I Love this song, but the tune is very similar to Another Brick In the Wall.

[mikasmells]

I LOVE this song, but can't help but notice the tune is very much like Another Brick in the wall.

[AgboyNZ]

When I first heard this song the first thing I thought of was Split Enz's song "Dirty Creature" - very similar rift and sound in my opinion. Could have sworn at the time it was a remake! Check out their video.

[sugarlips874]

HHOOOTTT!

[allaurae]

i love the 'and you're monkeys DEAD' bit... XD

[therealemmy12]

this is a sexy song. kthanksbye

[YoitsChey5]

the 15 people who gave this a thumbs down are stupid =)

[smallbimbo]

I love the variety in the entire album, no track is similar to the other; it just keeps me wanting more. I love Rob (:

"Late at night, late at night you weep for something better than the secrets you keep laying down."

:D

[SammySparrow96]

love this song!!!

[YoitsChey5]

[PrincessRosslyn]

Ive been looking for this song for ages! Ive heard it every time I entered the store Bootlegger (on the radio station they play) xDD

[nathk10]

[xxescapingthefatexx]

[Tayanderson1994]

I love this song! I don't understanding the deal about Monkey's though but oh well :)

[baghli91]

[sirtobey]

its as in feeding the monkey on your back, feeding an addiction or habit

[RockStarCoolCol]

[Denitsag]

Rob Thomas is one of the most gifted singers and songwriters..

[Vance685]

#60 of the year as of february 15th 2010 (australian charts)

[lawltheroflcakes3]

awesome song!

[Fongfongmc]

this could be one of my most hated songs atm

that chorus makes me want to pull my ears off

[tessquestie]

LOL. Protect your ears and don't listen; your ears are too important. Hee, I love the song.

[musicdraganfly]

<3 this song!!! <3 the whole album!! Her diamonds is a fabulous song btw and it gives my husband chills because him and I can relate to it so well. I have bipolar and if any of you have it or know someone that does you understand why. Check out the making of the video on yahoo music

[GeekChicful]

♥ this song

[SparkyHughes1]

This is my favorite song by Rob Thomas. It's just brilliant. So catchy as well, stuck in my head for like three weeks before I was finally able to D/L it. One of my most played haha.

[DC10ify]

crap

[86443]

Thanks Amy for alerting me to this song

[Wastedcorey]

Rob u rule mate

[SofieValdeNerland]

Love

[xochelsea08]

Hmm.. It does give you alot to think about.. But then again, all of Rob Thomas's songs do! I just love his songs so much! They actually have meaning! (:

[UponParallelUniverse]

This is no where near a rip off of "Another Brick in The Wall", the underlaying beat is a bit similar but that beat is really just to keep time. This one is drawn out while Pink Floyd's is faster-paced and suprisingly more up-beat. They are completely different, I am a fan of both and never heard a similarity and even now after listening intently to both, I still don't see much of a similarity. The songs are completely different so calm down ;]

[musicdraganfly]

If it does have a bit of Brick in the wall in it that is cool cuz I could see the realtion to the songs. I could see how that song could inspire this one. weird that someone picked that out though lol

[Lalllie3]

It's "You weep, but you're no better than the secrets you keep."

[cooly8888]

I love the Monkey part... hehe... lol  :)

[avatarox123]

hey ive seen this song so many times its just boring now lol! good beat though

[YouOrSum1LikeYou93]

just common chord progression

[jackwillangus]

this guy ripped off Split Enz - Dirty Creatures!

[alliszzz]

omg ive been searching this song for ages :D and anyway shouldnt it be called spinning round and round?

[McDills3430]

woot good song

[BiPolarMuffin]

it's "come on people now"

[BarbieTayBabe]

He looks like Eminem....

[rAkiztA1155]

@BarbieTayBabe

haha! LOL! ur right!

[copsrhot]

awesome sOng!!

[copsrhot]

rob thomas is the awesomeesttt!!

[icehousefan01]

think dirty creatures split enz

[tamnway]

PINK FLOYD? INXS? WTF!!! Nothing like either...way too boppy

[cmorris139]

Cool tune - but you can tell he rips off INXS in this one

[mtedeschi]

@cmorris139 Rob makes no bones about taking influences for all the tracks on this CD. Do some research first numb-nut.

[trevgreg2]

He admitted as much to the band in a phone call last year when they got him to record Never Tear Us Apart with them for their upcoming album. He claimed to have "ripped off" Need You Tonight in particular (his words, not mine).

[bluesky01]

Am I the only one that thinks this sounds like Pink Floyd's Another Brick In the Wall?

[mcrfanme]

@bluesky01 yah

[LastStandOFCL]

I think it does to. i thought it did when i first heard it. lmao anyone who cant hear it obviously never heard another brick in the wall. its clear as day in the verses.

[neoshibby]

No you aren't, and I'm even more convinced after comparing the two directly.

[pinoyjosh69]

i heard this is the theme song for the NBA playoffs

[redaliz]

rob thomas has amazing voice

[TheWwefan222]

niceee ;)

[ThePhantam]

I heard the song and wanted to know the words. thanks!

[greg76973]

spent ages trying to find this song and now i hav!!! :)

[somerfoj1]

Great song! Very catchy...I hardly ever listen to the radio however this has been running thru my mind for days now. Stop dissing him...you obviously have not 'made it' hence the asinine need to take the piss. Stop analysing everything!

[be8282]

i actually like this song..very free flowing, good job rob.....

[DougFCKNSteele]

Ole' Rob there's starting to look like michael cera.

[sk8erboi342]

sigh stupid trolls

[Mr2xT]

rip off of another brick in the wall but i still like it

[WonderfulandWierd]

yeah i agree lets see you do better

anyways everyone loves guy sebastians like it like that but the begining is like a rip off of the beginging of austin powers and then there is thesimpsons who have thought of almost everythinbg possible with there billion eps and i have seen so many things rip off of em. prety much everything has been thought of so unless you want to write a song about a t-rex eating in a tutu with vthe whole song being played on one note lets see you do better hehe

:)

[somerfoj1]

are you serious? Why does everyone have to try to be musical experts...just to diss someone who has actually made it/ Hilarious!!

[octopusinthepiano]

.. this is such a rip off of pink floyds another brick in the wall...

cant anyone write a decent pop song by themselves?

[keirrocks212]

lets see you do better

[xxDoesitmatterxx]

.. There's only one riff that's the same. Can't anyone tell the difference between copying and similarity anymore?

You're a tad bit stupid... aren't you?

[Greenchimps]

Chorus is the best bit LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL!!

[SquarecutK]

[hamishblakefan]

I love it! This one and mockingbird from the album are my favs!:D

[xxsmiley13xx]

Best song of the album...
