This song really got me going this a.m. on my ride to work.
I have been riding my bike to and from work for the last couple of weeks. What with gas prices hitting...ouch...$3.75 a gallon. And what with global warming and all.
Yes, I wear headphones and listen to music...No, I don't wear a helmet.
I got priorities man.
I heard that this song made the cut on the "Heros" soundtrack. It was used in a sceen where "the cheerleader" was having a sleep over and all the guests ended up dancing to this song. The New Pornographers frontman A.C. Newman said that when he wrote this song he had just that image in mind...

My Trusted MOGs
There's no way they are actually 'teens'...good song though....
My Trusted MOGs
I guess I should have put quotes around teen in the title...my bad.
My Trusted MOGs
oh no its just my hyper sensitive casting brain...they look like they're all in their 20s....
My Trusted MOGs
Ohh, sounds like me annie.. I too have been riding my bike to work. Stupid gas prices. Anyway, I like the song...video...hmm....
My Trusted MOGs
My eyes are sore from watching your post-teen girls now - I know I should I have heeded your warning.
Incidentally, do you ride a matching bike with your ear-buds?
My Trusted MOGs
I wish I knew somewhere where petrol was less than two quid a gallon...and I wish I new girls like that ;)
My Trusted MOGs
Welcome to the real world.....gas prices are $10+ a gallon in the UK! LOL!
My Trusted MOGs
Good for you on riding your bike. I need to either fix or replace mine, it took a beating last year, and then I'll be riding all over the place.
My Trusted MOGs
Here is one for ya guys...The new $5.00 Bill
My Trusted MOGs
Fuel has skyrocketed over here too. Ive started riding a bike as well, its a bit further to things when you live in the country but its a nice way to get around
My Trusted MOGs
I've been riding my bike since '05 & haven't had a car for even longer. Funny how we Americans complain about exorbitant gas prices when they are quite reasonable compared to other countries!
That vid is a real T& A fest. Kinda surprised New Pornographers put that out. Fun song though.

Aug. - I knew I would catch flack from our UK moggers...I am well aware of prices over here vs. over there due to my Scottish family...our rates for stamps/postage are also cheaper here then any other country too.
Eman - I am loving the bike...it has baskets and I can get my shopping done too.
Shudd - Looking at that bill...it really puts it into perspective. Dang.
Dale - Besides the melting of the polar ice caps, I have been putting on the weight...and I will not "Flashdance" either.
Bart - That bike hardly looks safe.
Neill & Jox - I know, I know...
My Trusted MOGs
so THATS what girls do at slumber parties... the more you know.
My Trusted MOGs
HA! I had an inkling of what you were talking about when I read your post title. And of course, the NP's are pretty much my favorite band ever, so they're never far from my mind :)
August: Hello, the band is called the New PORNOGRAPHERS! :)
Yup, two smilies in one comment :)
Ok three. Done.
My Trusted MOGs
I have one NP CD and don't much care for it. On the other hand, I keep hearing NP tracks on MOG that I like, like this one. Maybe I need to do some iTunes cherry-pickin' when it comes to this band.
My Trusted MOGs
Yay.
My Trusted MOGs
Gas Prices? Forget that! Dance fighting slumber party girls - woohoo! Double dutch!
This song was the first NP one I heard, actually, I still think it's still my favourite one....Thanks for bringing it back!
My Trusted MOGs
you should really invest in a helmet
My Trusted MOGs
Wish I could cycle to work, but it's 35 miles each way. Thank God for trains, trams and iPods.
Charley - I'm stealing that line. Next time someone says something dumb it will be met with a blank stare and the words "You should invest in a helmet."
My Trusted MOGs
No matter how obvious ... I admire your tongue-in-cheek ability to write the catchy Headline (post title) annieander.
I am in complete agreement on the bike thing ... I am looking for some sort of 'baskets' for mine, and am investigating adding a small 50cc gas motor for the longer stints. (And endorse efforts to convince you to protect your noggin ... or else we might all be denied the brilliant (though obvious) quips, to say nothing of the personal humpty-dumpty consequences)
That's a pretty funny comment, at the last there JM, particularly from someone calling themselves John Madden ;0 ... so I may need to steal that line from you both.
