| Very True. If You're sad, just think of Old Jerimiah, and you'll feel better. I mean think of a bullforg drinking wine. its just happy. For me this song is just a vocalization of the good things in this world, and the urge to take away the unproductive things, like war, alcohol and polutants. | |

| Yes this is a fun song to sing loud in crowds, every one just seems to have to join in. I got to see them in concert a few years ago and they left the stage for a bit with out having sung this song, and every one in the audience started singing it, they came back out and were like "So every one now its time for the frog song!" That was one hell of a fun concert, gosh, I would have been in like eighth grade at the time and have been out of high school for two years, so its been a while but WOW lol. | |
