Reception

Dave Grohl commented on the song, saying "For this song, it was a working title that stuck, because that was a song that we had demoed and it sounded like this really bright, poppy, late '80s R.E.M. song that would have been off their 'Green' or something like that."^[4] Allmusic editor Stephen Thomas Erlewine says the song has a riff as nimble as those on Foo Fighters' debut album.^[5]

Other Versions

A live version filmed at Wembley Stadium on June 7th 2008 was released on the Live At Wembley Stadium DVD.
