So it was like, we went through the motions of like, all right, cool.
We'll try to like appease you, which dude, stand is an amazing band.

Like we can, like we broke the curse of being a one hit wonder, you know?
And so that song is like straight up, like another one of those, a gift that keeps on giving it's, it's honestly become like,
