An Ode to The Adolescent Boy:
It's hard to come by someone who hasn't heard this 2003 jam let alone know all the words to it. This song was released as the lead single of the bands 3rd album. Stacy's Mom pays homage to every adolescent boy's fantasies of his friends mom. This song received relatively positive success cracking the top 25 on the US Top 100 Billboard Charts and was played on every radio station. You may ask what made a song about a boy fantasizing about a friends mom, well its a VERY catchy song with a chorus you will seem to know after the very first time hearing it. You may ask where Fountains of Wayne are today,well the band continues to make music releasing there last album in 2011, although they never found the same success as Stacy's Mom.
Where the song gained a lot of attention was in the incredibly sexual music video. Now that I'm older and have an attention span that can get past boobs I enjoy the video even more due to the fact of the references to The Fast Times at Ridgemont High. With such scenes as Stacy's mom exiting a pool in a red bikini in slow motion and then teased that she soon after removed, or even right after when the boy is walked in on by Stacy.
All in all this classic song is my Throwback Jam of the Week.
