    I love the way Ed sings "Doesn't look the same up on the rack" for some reason. This song always gives me the chills. One of those PJ songs I've always consistently loved since the first time I heard it.

    this is my favorite version, unfortunately no one was filming, so this is the best I could come up with, this is the version Eddie dedicates to his two brothers in attendance

    What else are we going to talk about?
    Our awesome stickers.
    The next album that doesn't exist.
    How great Evacuation, Love Boat Captain, and Green Disease is.

    It's a great song and I also think it's one of their best and I agree with those who find that many of the live takes are even better than the fine studio version. I have to say though that I'd like the album version better if it didn't include the little warm up thing. That always gets in the way for me at the beginning of the song.
