Anyone have it?

Opinions?

[Calexico]

I have never encountered a band who milk so much mileage from such a mediocre "career". The album is pretty pedestrian and the single is just plain irritating and here it is in THREE forms!

[LouieB]

I suppose if you really loved the single then this would be worth it. Isn't it enough to hear it on the radio once in awhile? I think there is a cover version or two that get played too.
