  • oh my god...finally found this song! was looking for an hour. LOve Love love it. Don't make good songs like this anymore.  what a shame.

  • tell me about it ... awesome song ~ and thanks for the support of this song in the countdown!

  • As I understand it, this song is supposedly about a man who after years of wasting his life away, wants an old love back in his life, but now he has become so out-casted and dismissed by society that he ask the question, "do you want me now?" after all the years of destroying himself, lying, drinking, etc....

  • As i see it ... you got it 100% bang on. 100%

  • "1955 to 2005" is not "All Time" is it? In fact it is 50 years.

  • Rock n roll was not around in 1417 wassit?

  • Known about this man for years..... He is awesome !!!!

  • That's Freedy's grandparents on the cover of the album :). He lived with them for a couple of years. Adorable.

    Absolutely true in the time sense but Kicking and Screaming and Mr. Jealousy are ALL over "The Royal Tennenbaums" and Rushmore. Whole lot of J.D. Salinger in there as well.

  • Well....Bottle Rocket and Kicking and Screaming came out the same year ('95), so I'm not so sure either one ripped the other off. At any rate, Wes Anderson and Noah Baumbach co-wrote The Life Aquatic together, so I guess all is forgiven. ;-)

  • I used to love Freedy's shows. Everyone in the audience just stood there... silently listening...Cool.

  • The video used to be here but not anymore thanks to dumb copyright claims

  • Great pure pop! I missed this the first time around. Cool hooks, delivery, guitar, everything a pop song should be.

  • How come no one has the video? I know I saw it a few times on 120 Minutes. Plus, where did this guy go? He was the soundtrack to my first time in England.

  • Best track from an overall great album. All of "This Perfect World" is great, IMO.

  • ABSOLUTELY!!! Kicking and Screaming is in my top 5. "The Cookie Man". Wes Anderson totally ripped Noah Baumbachs writing style.
