wondring

wondring

I enjoy it only for:

 

"Everyones gotta be something, me I'm ..."

 

just strikes a chord.

 

Me, I'm a geek.

[guitarchick]

Eh, its okay. Not one of my favorites though.

[Symbolistic_white_boy]

"and during the getaway she will drive the vespa"

 

love it

[calgarydave]

One of the only 2 songs from him that I cant stand.

[Symbolistic_white_boy]

what's the other song you can;t stand?

[Dan #3]

I love the line;

 

"Buy the rights to endless love and if your friends don't like it you can tell them to fuck off, fuck off, fuck off."

[Don't Be So Digital]

I'm not really big on Underdogs as a whole.

 

I don't hate it, but compared to the stuff on all his albums after it? I don't think it's very good.

[saturnine]

i could live without it.. that being said, i don't have to, so...

[ktopar]

oo, i'm glad I can comment on this cause I love and hate this song

I think the first 50 seconds of Rico and every subsequent verse is just really not my style. It's dry and I think somewhat cheesy and the lyrics are too much like a film noir.

however, the choruses in the song and the lines right before each chorus are some of my favorite things ever. (especially the drum parts in 'anything you want me to')

and the song even has a sighting of the word "loaded' which of course is a total MG word.

[saturnine]

most bad matt good songs still have wicked choruses (my life as a circus clown)

[mrs jesus]

i like rico

[blue_soda025]

Didn't vote, since there wasn't an "ok" option.

[Maverick]

How can you not like Rico?

 

And I don't think Matt hates Rico because he thinks its a bad song, really. He's jst sick of hearing, "Play Rico" over and over.

I remember seeing an interview with Loser Anthems came out about this song. Matt said he wrote the chorus and loved it, but couldn't find a single verse that could match up with it, so scrapped it only to pick it up again while recording Beautiful Midnight. He still couldn't get a decent guitar riff for a verse so he let Dave have a go at it. Matt said repeatedly in the interview that he didnt like the verse Dave wrote either, which probably caused some tension. Circus Clown as well as Flashdance were both recorded during the BM sessions Im pretty sure and the rest of Loser Anthems (which doesnt have the rest of the band) Matt recorded alone much later.

"Buy the rights to endless love and if your friends don't like it you can tell them to fuck off, fuck off, fuck off."

Yeah, never gets old.

[Ruettiger]

Eh, its okay. Not one of my favorites though.

Er...what you said. It is catchy though.

[calgarydave]

Since it was asked,

the only other song of MG's that I really dont like is...

 

Drumroll please....

 

 

Indestructable. But a lot of the comes from overplaying on the radio.

[Katastrophina]

oh man I love Rico and Indestructable. I rock out everytime I listen to them. Rico, to me, is the best thing to lipsync to.

[Underdog]

Rico is one of my favourite songs

[calgarydave]

Man you people have no taste ;)

j/k to each thier own.

[Moonlight_Graham]

Rico sucks. makes me want to inflict wounds into my body.

 

Not as bad as Casual Walks though

[NationofCool]

you suck!

rico is an awesome song..

the video kind of ruins the song is all

[Moonlight_Graham]

the thing that sucks most of all is the fact they made a video out of Rico. lots o better songs on that album.

 

p.s. yes i know i suck

[NationofCool]

well it's the best rockin' song to release as the 4th single..

deep 6 is the worst song off the album.. so i wouldnt want that over rico.. :@.. AAAND prime time deliverance although brilliant and often requested to be a single.. wouldnt work because of its non top-40 format lol
