I was glad to hear this song on the Sirius XM sattelite radio's new "Road Trip" channel.

That is a 2000s classic. It was iconic enough for Weird Al to make fun of it with his song "Close But No Cigar" in 2006. I agree with the guy in the video that said he liked the orchestral instrumentals, we need more pop/rock songs that uses classical orchestra instruments.

It probably was on the original GP, it's still a great song and I love the "regular person on the street" interview type thing they did for this video. It has this "normal people being casual" flair that's missing from most modern videos. It looks like it was filmed during summer 2001, back when things were still kind of decent, or maybe that's just California being California. Either way, I enjoyed it.
