    I remember buying the CD based on the strength of this one track (which is something I rarely did – I wanted at least three good tracks before I would invest in the album), it was so good.

    Then I was disappointed in the rest of the album. The only other song I liked was “Tesko Suicide”, and reading the liner notes I found out that it was the only song on the album that wasn’t written by them.

    I do still listen to those two tracks all these years later though.

    I wish I could go back in time to when this was fresh. Such a simpler, more optimistic time. This still sounds impossibly cool to me.

    Man, this takes me back to a different perspective.

    When this was popular, I was just starting to realize that I was slipping out of the “cool college kid” phase and into the “how old are you again?” age-group. Not quite an old-person yet, but of the age when the lingo was starting to change without my awareness, my cultural references were starting to be dated, the music was changing from what I liked into . . . other things and I was realizing that me and my friends would never be among the young again. I’m definitely an old guy now, no question. But this was the moment when I first knew that I was becoming old.

    I hated the song and video back then. The “pimps” seemed to be looking right at me from this video and saying “You don’t belong here anymore,” so I hated them for it. But now it’s just old and it’s outdated as I am, so I feel less harsh towards it/them. Kind of catchy, now that I think of it.

    Specifically the “Nellie Hooper Edit”. The “plain” album version differs. I love them both.

    Fun fact: The harp sounds are sampled from the soundtrack of the Bond film Goldfinger.

    Sneaker Pimps had such a smooth sound, was good to have stuff like this in the pop charts. Trip hop in general, it was a good time.

    In 2004 I used to work on a remote island cutting grass. There was an MP3 player with only this song on it.

    Every week I chose to listen to this song on repeat for over an hour instead of the sound of a lawnmower.

    I couldn’t help but notice her prominent canines in this video. She looks like she could be perfectly cast as one of the vampire extras in Blade 2 years later.
