It caught my interest, especially since I was just randomly talking with someone from Maine and mentioned the song. Funny I didn't notice it all the other times I've heard this song. It must be a TMBG reference by The Beatles!!! And yes, I really am kidding when I say that, so don't tell me which came first :) But check it out and see for yourself. Garrett hehe, I liked that uberfan thing :) ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET! Juno now offers FREE Internet Access!

They could also do an alternative version of any DMX or Jay-Z song ever written, and play it on a daytime talk show. They could play with a group such as Third Eye Blind.
