AWESOME as always. Love the reference to Jack and Dianne in the chorus and the typical four chords is disguised very well.<br><br>EDIT: Would've been better if they released 'Could Be Me' as their next single instead of this but it makes sense anyways.

This screams of "let's throw out a single to keep our name on the airwaves/charts". It doesn't stick out much, and surely only hung around in the lower part of the top 50 thanks to being played on radio. However I do like the way they reject the idea of the "American dream" which is something that is becoming increasingly out of reach and unrelatable for many young people. It's a shame it's awfully produced, it really drags down the whole thing and makes it a tiring listen. It's not bad but didn't need to be a single imo.

The piano seems to take too much control over all of the melodies, which is a shame because it sucks the energy out of what should really be an upbeat track. I even try to enjoy the chorus by pretending the piano chords aren't there, but to no goddamn avail. :( 2.75

"We don't want two kids and a wife<br>I don't want a job I just want a life"<br><br>Amerikansisches Duo, das in Down Under weitaus populärer als in der Heimat ist…mässig überzeugende Nummer mit ätzenden Na na na – 3*…<br>

Finde ich ein sehr schöner und gelungener Popsong. Kann man sich gut und auch ziemlich lange anhören, ohne dass er einem auf die Nerven geht!

This sounds rather nostalgic to me. If this was intentional, then kudos for the irony. Aside from that I don't find it that strong but it could grow on me further. 3.5

....'Cali here we come' - süsser, melodischer, flotter, schön gesungener Traum - das Geplapper stört nicht mal stark -...+4.5

Very boring, dumb lyrics. My least favourite single from them if I ignore the lyrics to 'Thank You'.

The cliches are cringe worthy and it's melody is tame.
