submeat’s top 100 tracks of 2003: songs to download and love
#22 “Stacy’s Mom,” Fountains of Wayne (S-Curve)
Great not only because it’s the finest Cars homage ever, and not only because it’s a clever, winking look at adolescence. No, “Stacy’s Mom” is truly great because of the tenderness tucked away inside it: the lyric “since your Dad moved out your Mom could use a guy like me” is heartbreakingly “yeah, your Mom’s a babe, but I care, too.”
