Great song. I found out not too long ago that Lump was about the lead singer's brain tumor that he fortunately survived.

How interesting! Always wondered what exactly was going on in those lyrics.

Dude my classic rock station now plays Green Day and Blink 182... Getting old is weird.

I still remember hearing "Sex and Candy" as part of a flashback hour around 18 years ago, the cut still stings.

1995 counts per the sidebar.

The argument isn't that it doesn't count, it's that those of us who remember it when it came out are being reminded of just how old we are.

They were put there by a man in a factory down-towwwn

This song will always have one of the most special places in my heart. One of the first songs in my entire life that I just loved. This whole album, actually. I was in kindergarten or first grade. I remember staying in my friends’ mom’s car in their driveway so we could rock out to this song when it came on the radio. It was on many-a-mixtape with the first 10-15 seconds of the song cut off or talked over by a radio DJ.

Man this brings back memories. What a fun band that was.

The lead singer had a kid and decided kids music sucked so let's make some kids music that doesn't suck.

It's called Casper Babypants and I recommend to any parent.
