 It's a really catchy song. I haven't analyzed it but after a 
few listens I believe the song is a bout nothing but a dream that makes no 
sense. 

thanks for the info.  if you subscribe to the jungian school of 
thought (collective unconscious and all that), nothing means 
nothing.  note to self: stop doing bong-hits before work g

It's just a dream she keeps having and it doesn't seem to mean anything.

John,
  I guess I should have mentioned that that's the hook from the song 
"Summer Teeth." It's a really catchy song. I haven't analyzed it but after a 
few listens I believe the song is a bout nothing but a dream that makes no 
sense. I'm probably wrong, being a songwriter myself, I know how lyrics can 
often be cryptic. I recommend the disk though.

Keep On.

 So they made a ragin full on glossy pop album, eh? Ok, so how fare the
 songs under Tweedy's increasingly raspy vocals, which would seem to
 these ears to defy glossy pop, at least the 70's kind David C refers to
 throughout his fine review. Or did Tweedy clear his throat finally? g 

By no means would I call it ragin' full-on glossy. It's still Wilco, still
ragged, still loose, still throaty. They can only be so glossy and pop, no
matter how hard they tried. One of favorite things about Tweety is that he
always sounds as if he's either nearing sleep or just having woken up. Summer
Teeth doesn't lose that. Combine that with pop hooks and some dark-ass lyrics
and that's what makes it so damn interesting to me.

Sounds interesting enough to give a listen. And don't think I don't like
pop, so even if it was real glossy, I could take it. Those Rasberries
singles around my house weren't ignored while growing up. 

But tt is a *single* disc, isn't it?

"Raspberries singles"?
The force is in you...come over to the dark side, Matt. g

Heck, this buzz about "pop" Wilco on P2 and pop lists alike leads me expect a messy 
mishmash that's a little twangy, a little poppy and not enough of either. The 
combination worked only intermittently on BEING THERE, though it was better on AM, a 
record Tweedy seems to be distancing himself from at this point.

[Matt Benz]  Uh, hell yes! Rasberries, Badfinger, Jackson 5, and
top 40 radio, all day, and as late into the night as we could get away
with. And until our radio caught fire, but that's another story. I was
born on the dark side, my friend.

Yes, it's a single, albeit a loong single. Like 17 songs or something. Add
that to the half of Mermaid Ave and a third of the last Golden Smog and it's
no doubt that boy is prolific.
