The song is funky fun and has great harsh lyrics. There is a funky guitar part which is probably the best guitar feature on the album.

The lyrics are as angry as they get on the album. This song rivals "Never There" for the most danceable song on the album. This is a very interesting and cool feeling song. The backing vocals also add catchiness to this song and make it more fun to sing along to. The soothing smooth rythm mixes great with the lyrics. The lyrics are at there best on this song. The song fades out with McCrea chanting "Sheep go to heaven, goats go the hell." The song goes into a mesh of a guitar, trumpet and an organ, then it's back to McCrea singing. The vocals are lazy yet intense at the same time. The lyrics are very interesting and it just gets you pumped up. The song starts out with McCrea singing about not being happy. This is one of my favorite songs of all time. If your into depressing love songs than this is for you, unfortunately this is not my cup of tea. The guitar playing is extremely simple and stripped down while the percussion delivers a formulaic rhythm. McCrea sings the lyrics on this one and it isn't pritty.

This is some catchy stuff but I think it goes on a little to long. The lyrics are angry and are a rant about the music business. After this 21 second intro the song turns into a hip/hoppish song. This song opens with a nice piano part followed by a trumpet. Note: this is the only song on the album that features the musical saw. This is mainly a guitar driven track but overall it doesn't really go anywhere. The song has some good lyrcis and it's a little catchy, but overall there isn't anything special. There really isn't anything special about this track. The lyrics are quite intense and when you combine this with funk you get Cake at its best! Towards the middle of the song there is a groovy jazz influenced trumpet solo. McCrea sings the lyrics in this song and you might find yourself dancing because this song is funky and farily quick paced. Wow, we are getting quite a variety from Cake. The trumpet comes in toward the middle of the song, then the lazy country part comes in and closes out the song This song features some clever lyrics and is quite depressing. Don't get me wrong I can't stand country music and I love this song. This is a lazy country tune dominated by a twangy acoustic line. At the end of the song the trumpet comes in and then the song slowly closes.Īfter the catchy tune Mexico comes in. This is probably one of the catchiest songs on the album, but I still don't know why they are singing about Satan and cars. This is one of those songs you can just sit back and sing along to. There is a variety of instruments used throughout the cd and there are also nine special guests.Ĭake starts off with a slow steady song. Cake has sort of a relaxed feel, they also have clever lyrics and the music mixes well. This may turn some listeners off, but certainly not me. He has a monotone voice and sort of speaks the lyrics. The lead singer, John McCrea doesn't actually sing. Special Guests : Jim Campilongo - electric guitarĬake is a very unique alternative rock band. Gabriel Nelson - bass guitar, mandolin, piano Vincent Di Fiore - trumpet, backing vocals Members : John McCrea - vocals, guitar, organ, moog There next album Fashion Nugget was a big hit with songs such as "The Distance" and "I Will Survive".
