Primitive Radio Gods - "Standing Outside..."

[halo19]

Well that title obviously wouldn't fit so I didn't get close to including it all (and long pre-dates the Pete Wentz titles ), but what brings this song to mind is the few times that I've heard it recently.

Once I heard it on a visit to the bank and was amazed, not having heard the song in at least a few years if even that, but I recognized the song from its piano and the main beat. I also heard it on a JACK-FM radio station a couple days later, even though sometimes I still get the beginning of "Pinch Me" and this song mixed up in retrospect. And in spite that it's unlike most of what I heard, and the BB King sample use is rad as well.

I may go put it on a customized CD at the Hear Music store here. I hear the rest of the album didn't even sound like this so I doubt by this point I'd be open minded enough about the other songs of his.

Aren't those things actually a rip-off?

Just ask, man.

Yeah, this song would be so retrospectively cool in itself if it had merely had the song title of ridiculous length AND the obscure sampling--two traits that would eventually become beaten-to-death fads nearly a decade later. But it's a good song on its own, too.

I love this song, and the fact that it doesn't get a lot of play these days preserves its coolness.
