The delightful quintessential sound of an Ian Graham song: lyrically thoughtful, subtle, intellectual, ironic, and the true to life acoustic instrumentation without unnecessary studio tricks. The melody is easy to follow and its mournful chords express the anxious plight of the narrator, made even more so with the ending that, as Neil Young said of one of his own tunes, "starts off slow and then fizzles out altogether." The way this one fizzles out just adds to the plight and confusion and makes it funnier. If you've read this far, "The Quirk" and "International Hamburger Song" are a couple of must listens.
the song had a catchy hook and fit the category great
