The Third Shift

I am wasted, but I’m ready.

I’m still trying to figure out what the skull wallpaper and the giant strawberry have to do with each other, but I remember enjoying the “she is a slut but X thinks it’s sexy” line just because even despite the implications. Generally, I thought of this song’s narrator as a teenage boy at a party with booze processing all the rumors he’s heard about the girl who’ll make out or have sex with guys.  ”Sex reminds her of eating spaghetti” sounds equally nonsensical and juvenile.

Ben Kweller’s interesting in the sense that his band Radish got a record contract when he was still a teenager, put out an album, then got caught in the major label consolidating spree — and there was even a song about the band written by another one, Fastball’s “Warm Fuzzy Feeling.”
