I guess goofy is a better term for it. Not really humorous, but refusing to be taken seriously.
As opposed to….
I’ve been listening to a lot of mgmt lately. Strong sense of humor, regarding serious subjects.

This was also a hit for Live:

Torn between Goo Goo Dolls and Live Going to read the whole thread and see which way I'm swayed.

Nah, 'She's So High' is (just barely) in that 'well crafted pop song' category.

After high school, I worked at one of the cafeterias at BGSU for a semester and this song was on the video muzak all. the. damned. time. That and Mambo Number Five.
A guy I went to high school with worked with me there. He was hard of hearing - legit had hearing aids. I just remember eating lunch with him one time when the Mambo Number Five video came on and he looked up at the TV then smiled at me and said, "That guy looks like he knows how to party!" Then, afraid I didn't hear him, said again, "That guy looks like he knows how to party!"
I think of that far more fondly than She's So High.

Loving the two attempts to place the Pixies before the ultimate decision.

There are a lot of arguments for Live having the worst song but I still hate that Goo Goo Dolls song so much.
Voting Goo Goo.

He put the word placenta in a radio single.

People in this thread keep harping on this, like it's the worst word that could ever be uttered. "Placenta!" Unimaginable. I have some pearls I can lend you if you need to clutch something.

It fell on the floor though.

You could probably put any medical anatomy on the lyrical floor and it would be worthy of ridicule.

It’s an objectively weird word. Add in the fact that I think he was yanking on that weirdo ponytail braid in the video while saying the word placenta, and I’m sorry man. It just makes a bad scene.
