Todd, it was one of my top songs of last year as well, and I 
still get that great song thrill every time I listen to it 
--*especially* that bridge, which is the killer hook, obviously, the 
part that makes it so special.

But I'll bet Pete says it was his idea and Dwight wanted to go 
conventional, heh <g>.

Yep, what a song.
