The problem with this song, I think, is both the profanity-laced chorus and
the fact that it's about a typical FOW topic, which is to say that most
normal people might find it either too obscure or too nasty. "Stacy's Mom" is
a pretty generic topic (the subject matter's been covered before, everywhere
from "The Graduate" to "American Pie") and the Cars-isms make it easy to
identify with musically. --Jason
