Okay, here we go. Figured of the places I visit, this'd be the best to ask this. I am trying to find a song, but I don't know who it's by, or what it's called. I don't even really know the lyrics. It's one of those things that I think I heard a snippit of, maybe in a movie, and now I want to find it.

The genre is what I'd call alternative. It's rock, but not something you'd hear on most radio stations. I'm estimating that it came out in the last couple of years, maybe in the last year.

For those international, I believe it's a U.S. artist, but I can't be sure.

The story is something like the author is thanking someone he doesn't know for letting him do something like pass him, or let him in a line, or let him go by. I think it's in the context of driving. I think some of the lyrics have to do with "thank you", "you let me in", or something along those lines.

Unforunately, that's about it. I know that's not a lot to go on, but I thought if someone knew the song, it might be enough to know I was talking about that song.

Thanks for looking,
Chris

It's all timing! The sad thing is I have the CD. Never listen to it. I bought it for that one song, and it got annoying really fast!

Is there nothing that a combination of Google and this BBS can't answer?

Just watch out for those neutrons!
I hear the aftermarket ones can be bad.
So just go for the brand names -- it's always a big mistake to skimp on the neutrons.

And also be wary of the 'oldtron' who try to pass themselves of as neutrons...you can spot them easily...they are the ones with bleached hair and flabby butts wrapped in miniskirts.

Actually... yes.

I never did get a satisfactory answer to this question.

Just sing it backwards - it'll be 180 degrees out of phase and should cancel.

I'm going to have to say any song that mentions the band's name in it starts off well inside the "irritating" category.
