Music Review: Buy it for 'I'll Do the Driving'
Rating: 5 Stars

Hey, I don't actually own this single but I have the mp3 of the b-side 'I'll Do the Driving' and it's been buzzing around in my head for the past few days now. WOW, what a song. The melody is perfect, the arrangement is very unique to the Fountains of Wayne 'catalog,' and the lyrics are very dry and funny in a sad way (just the way I like my FoW lyrics). In fact they're so great I'm going to just copy and paste them onto the body of this review; here they are:

She knows nothing at all about nothing
The moment I saw her was something I found alarming
That certain nothing behind her eyes

TV, she finds intoxicating
Shows about cops and dating
She has a soft spot
For cops who are robots

And I don't know where this is going
But I've got a feeling
I'll do the driving from now on

Sometimes we stare at the stars from my roof
She wants to know if they are fire proof
I say I guess so, how else can they glow on for so long

We're out, the jukebox plays 'Jumping Jack Flash'
She says, 'I love Johnny Cash, the man in red.'
I turn my head and pretend not to hear what she said

And I don't know where this is going
But I've got a feeling
I'll do the driving from now on

And I don't know where this is going
But I've got a feeling
I'll do the driving from now on

The song has a nice mid-tempo 6/8 feel to it, with some sort of bass drum/symbol smash combo on each of the last three beats of every measure. It gives it a kind of momentum that carries the song all the way through. MAN, this song. I can't get over it right now. Just please buy the single (or is it out of print?), or harrass the morons over at Atlantic to release these B-sides on I-tunes so we aren't forced to break the law in downloading b-sides through illegal file-sharing programs. Just put up the content! It won't cost you a dime! Anyway, trust me and check it out if you are a Fountains of Wayne fan. Why wasn't it included in the Utopia Parkway album? Answer me that Atlantic! You FoW-dropping meatheads!
