10-25-11 - "Someone's Gonna Break Your Heart" ~ Fountains of Wayne

Oh, just a catchy pop/rock tune about broken hearts by the guys that brought you "Stacy's Mom"... (who knew they were still around?)  This song isn't quite as blatant an effort at a hook as that one was, but this is definitely a band that knows how to churn out radio gold.  I believe one of the band members once referred to the group as "masters of the 3-minute pop song."  Not unlike Lady Gaga, these guys have figured out what sort of songs garner airplay...


To be honest, I'm pretty much a sucker for songs about pants, and this one may take the cake with that opening line.  I don't think it would be possible for me to not like this song after that...

"Staring at the sun, with no pants on..."
