Song of the Day: The Cardigans - Happy Meal II

The Cardigans - Happy Meal II
from the album First Band on the Moon

I love this album - several of the songs are so sad, so eerie - almost depressing, actually, but still really enjoyable...I used this song in a student film I made in the late 90's, which I hope to post at some point when I get my shit together. I'm one to cringe at "pop" and what that has come to mean nowadays...but this is a band of Swedes that can groove out with the pop tune and still feel like you just did some emotional bloodletting.

It was a hoagie with, if I remember correctly, all sorts of lunchmeat and Swiss cheese. I didn't like Swiss cheese though so I declined. Still, I thought it was a very nice gesture.; 1:40 PM
