Get the Metarie EP. The versions on there are the best.

i like the version with the other lyrics better, but this is still a really good song.

Just read that Brendon Benson is back on the road. Check out tour dates on his website. Also heard that you can buy USBs of his live recorded performance straight after the gig. Isn't that freaking cooool!!!

@linmis thank you! I kinda suspected the Metarie thing, but never knew about the Lapalco meaning, this is pretty funny!

BTW I finally got to see BB live two months ago. He played the videoclip version, which I must say I don't like. The uk version would have been so much more exciting!

@desertbunny He's either from Louisiana or spent a lot of time there, and Metarie is a town just north of New Orleans that's actually spelled Metairie. Another bit of trivia is that the album "Lapalco" is named after a street that he lived on that is an abbreviation of "Louisana Power and Light Company"

Who is this Chris Plum guy?Looks like he could be a bit of a cult figure!

[desertbunny]

can't find any words to say what i think about this song.

the fact that the word "metarie" is tattooed on my neck might give you an idea. cannot wait to see him live as a solo, if some damn italian venue hosted him!

btw, who can explain me what does "metarie" mean? i know it's a part of new orleans but never knew how to match this info to the song -.-

Wow, what a fucking arrogant prick.
