I could see some gripes being had with me choosing to put this Type O song on my list of all songs they made - especially when I'm unlikely to put on many more, if any.

The thing is, that it's just got the sort of energy, sardonic wit and killer hooks that you can't argue with. I say "hooks", plural, because it's not just the chorus that's a hook. An even cooler hook is the heavily effects laden guitar lead that almost carries the song on its own.

Such a good song. It's both grim and buckets of fun at the same time. I'm actually kind of sad the band never made a full album of pop-rock bangers like this.
