Do you ever get a song stuck in your head, then forget it, and then try to get it back? Well, that happened to me this week.
This song has been haunting me since I heard it for a moment during the great radio show "This American Life" the other day. They had a funny segment by a comic describing how he was once his "Girlfriend's Other Boyfriend." It was a pretty hilarious ode to Valentine's Day. Anyway, ever since I heard the story, and the song, I've been trying to figure out who sang it, because it's a great love song, with a great vocal. Then, during my search, I found out where I had heard it before: Stranger Than Fiction. I think this is the best part of the movie, which was interesting on some levels, but less wacky than most Will Ferrell classics.

Thanks for the good words, sir. Sorry to drag ass on the response. I will be following you now. And Maggie was cute as HELL in Stanger than Fiction. And that shot when Will Ferrel was talking to her on the bus, but he was on that extended seat on the hinge of the bus? That was some amazing cinematography.
Keep up the food fight... I mean, the good fight.
