That's a silly thing to say! Just because telephone operators aren't widely used any longer, doesn't mean you can't write a catchy song about it! People write a lot of songs about things that are outdated. If it's relate-able and/or catchy, who cares! :) At least ONE person really enjoys this song (I know I do!) so it can't be all that terrible! :P
Seriously, how many songs have been made about telephone operators, trying to get through to a girl and all that jazz? This song -Elvis Costello/Ramones ripoffs aside- is remakably unoriginal and 25 years too late.
@aldeadelobispo Although the concept may be unoriginal (as are most concepts in music these days!) the song itself is a catchy and refreshing pop tune that makes you feel good! The point here isn't to be an intellectual lyric writing genius, it's to make music that's fun, catchy, and makes the listener feel good! You're being overly critical, methinks!
OK, Is it just me or does anyone else realize how much this band is obviously influenced by Elvis Costello ? If I wasn't watching the video I would have sworn it was EC.
Saw them at the BFS birmingham show didn't think much to them and i thought it was quite funny when i turned around and he was stood there looking lost, noone recognised him XD
Seen these guys twice. Last time was in Highland Park, CA. These fellas are going to make it big. They stand out and have a different sound from other 3 chord pop punk bands. "Eager to Please" is way awesome btw.
the guy in the hawian shirt looks like Erik Chandler!!
