Wake-up we're stealing cars
1996 1997 1998 we're all waiting for the year 2000
Just the smell on the summer can make me fall in love
We go to the parties listen to the DJ's
Dance dance dance and go crazy
She's a party queen an she's in party heaven
Her clock is stuck on late
Got a first name basis at 7-11
Hold the slip slide taste the sweat it's salty
Irrigation ditch and a swimming hole
Nation-wide loved the movie

"she's the party queen and she's in party heaven

Who doesn't know these faceless hordes of people that have a first name basis at their local 7-11 due to countless nights of strolling in there after consecutive hours of partying away nights they won't remember; only in their dreams.
Just the smell!

Issac Brock Reflects on three summers. Did he enjoy it? he's waiting for the year 2000. He's erratic self "dances goes crazy". He tells us that "just the smell of summer can make me fall in love" then describes someone who is the best at what he's doing. Partying. Then he describes things that really aren't that fun (going to the 7-11, swimming in irregation canals, etc.) but hey, it's summer so screw you.
Catchy tune.
fantastic
it seems to be a song very personal to Isaac and he seems to be referencing his personal nostalgia inducing memories. it seems to simply be about being young, romantic and about beauty.
very upbeat and a masterpiece in songwriting, not the reason began to love Modest Mouse but a reason to make me love them more.
