Nothin' Wrong still gets my vote as the most underrated song overall but I don't think Love is Your Weapon of Choice gets nearly enough love.

It took me a very long time to get into "
Love is a Weapon of Choice"
... it gave me the same reaction as "
Song for Sally,"
which was kinda ... [image]

But now I like it a lot, and I wish it was on their album. [image]

(I like "
Song for Sally"
now too)

"
Nothin' Wrong"
has always ruled all with me. It's one of my favorites. [image]

So because "
Bus Driver's Song"
seems to have increased in popularity since my original post, my vote now goes to "
Nothin' Wrong"
with "
Petrov, Yelyena, and Me"
as a close second.

ADD: My favorite lines in "
Song For Sally"
are:

And who am I to say that love will last?
It won't or it will.
But maybe Mark will be involved in an accident
And you'll get a life insurance payment of half a mill.
It's not about the money, but it could set us up financially
If you came back to me.

Cheer Up Murray for me off the top of my head.

There have been a few times where I have season 1 disc 2 in my dvd player and I can't decide on an episode and I think, "
They sing 'Cheer Up Murray' in that one! *click!*"

It's also waaay up there on the favorite songs to sing along too. How fun is it to sing 'Gingerballs' like six times? <img src=

I also really really enjoy Song for Sally. [image]

I also think 'Love Is a Weapon of Choice' is severely underrated... I didn't like it much at first but once I actually paid attention to the lyrics I was [image]

I think Song for Sally was the most underrated in my brain until we started working on the lyrics/chords stuff for this section. Guess I just never paid much attention to it before. [image]

Now I looooove it. [image]

Bus Driver's Song for me, still hurts watching the New Zealand Town episode knowing it should be there.

I love this version of Sally

I'd like to mention Rambling Through The Avenue's of Time too, the lyrics at the end make me feel so sad for Bret, "
the other details were invention, because I prefer her that way"

I was just listening to some audio from one of the Oddball Fest gigs I attended last night and I had completely forgotten about them performing Sally. GOD, I remember losing my shit over it at the time. :#lol#: I'm working on being able to share that audio with you guys in the next little while. Smile
