One of my favorite Cake tracks. The vocals don’t sound like much at first because of the restricted range, but then you try to sing along, and it’s utterly relentless. I’m usually out of breath by the end, and I love it every time.

@@SnakeSkillett They do have a lot of great songs. These are just the ones I like the most. You like Mexico, which is a great song. If I extended my list to say 20, Mexico would likely be on there. I only stated my opinion, just that and nothing more.
they were pretty big in the 90's and early 2000's I always listened to them and they were always on the radio, when people still listened to radio stations
@@muhammadridha9776 I wonder why people take the time to comment "this band is underrated" on every video of critically approved and/or cool underground bands. What does that even mean? What is properly rated? Opening for imagine dragons? If you spend time developing your music taste you can find all kind of gems and there is nothing stopping you today to find them
This song has aged like fine wine. Its lyrics are just as potent now as they were back then. It’s a perfect political and social commentary on the American culture of both parties and corporate America. They act as your friends, but don’t really care. This song teaches to not trust the corpos.
unbelievably hard. so glad i got to see them live. my dad rented out jetskis to the lead guy Xan. i got to shake his hand in person at the marquee in phx.
This song, in my opinion, is peek lyricism. Lines like “Do you believe in the one big sign, the double wide shine on the boot heels of your prime” or “the wacky morning DJ says democracy’s a joke” are the reason I look up to John McCrea as a writer
And... I read somewhere that their biggest hit, the distance, was written by the guy they kicked out of the band. Lame. If you ask me. It's catchy, though.
My mother's day present is to see you guys in a few days!!! In celebration of the upcoming show, I've been going back through the catalog,, and as much as I dislike admitting.... I forgot you guys had so many gems from my youth. Going to be such a nostalgic and incredible show I know, can't wait! ❤
Oh oh man! I remember when this CD came out. Waited for Cake for such a damn long time , and they did not disappoint!! Brings me back to the good ole days. Love this album always will
When I was 17 I had to import this album at an expense for a teenager. Seen you live 3 times. And whenever sad I listen to this song or The Distance. Thank you so much for the years of joy you have brought me. ❤
@@aurorafranco3488 Pretty funny. But kinda corny, like an Adam Sandler film. Gwyneth was great in it. That part where Hal sees the real Cadence in the burn unit killed me, a real punch in the gut.
I couldnt find this song, I dont knnow the lyrics to find it, until i remembered it was on that movie, but the movie doesnt credit the song, it was such a journey, but a Shazam-like app helped me with just like 3 seconds of the song.
one day when i was studying for my idiotic business degree i heard some kid on campus keep repeating "Meester Corporate Finance" and I knew he was channeling the essence of this masterpiece
...and the puffy white lines that the airplane leaves behind, are drifting right in front of the waning of the moon. good stuff, classic Cake song. fasten your safety belts, and step towards the ledge...we are building a religion
Lyrics: ♪♪♪ We are are building a religion We are building it bigger We are widening the corridors And adding more lanes We are building a religion A limited edition We are now accepting callers For these pendant key chains To resist it is useless It is useless to resist it His cigarette is burning But he never seems to ash He is grooming his poodle He is living comfort eagle You can meet at his location But you'd better come with cash Now his hat is on backwards He can show you his tattoos He is in the music business He is calling you "DUDE!" Now today is tomorrow And tomorrow today And yesterday is weaving in and out And the fluffy white lines That the airplane leaves behind Are drifting right in front Of the waning of the moon He is handling the money He is serving the food He knows about your party He is calling you "DUDE!" Now do you believe In the one big sign The double wide shine On the boot heels of your prime Doesn't matter if you're skinny Doesn't matter if you're fat You can dress up like a sultan In your onion head hat We are building a religion We are making a brand We're the only ones to turn to When your castles turn to sand Take a bite of this apple Mr. corporate events Take a walk through the jungle Of cardboard shanties and tents Some people drink Pepsi Some people drink Coke The wacky morning DJ Says democracy's a joke He says now do you believe In the one big song He's now accepting callers Who would like to sing along He says, do you believe In the one true edge By fastening your safety belts And stepping towards the ledge He is handling the money He is serving the food He is now accepting callers He is calling me "DUDE!" Do you believe In the one big sign The double wide shine On the boot heels of your prime There's no need to ask directions If you ever lose your mind We're behind you We're behind you And let us please remind you We can send a car to find you If you ever lose your way We are building a religion We are building it bigger We are building A religion A limited Edition We are now accepting callers For these beautiful Pendant key chains ***®***
My father used to have this and a few other songs (example: never there, short skirt/long jacket and the distance) while I was riding the car with him and listening to this song brings back those memories
“Some people drink Pepsi, some people drink coke; the wacky morning DJ says democracy’s a joke” Fell in love with the song since first listen. But that’s like all CAKE songs. Literally lol.
I saw them in Seattle on New Year’s Eve 2009 going into 2010. They opened with this song! The only disappointment of that show was I didn’t win the tree with the raffle ticket
@@alexhigginbotham2491 both y'all are fools here... Both parties are disingenuous when it comes to their values. Only one of them is selling pendant key chains- oh, I mean "god bless America" bibles
