You can hear a clip of the song here... http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&#38;sql=50:kzfoxm95ldke~T What makes it the greatest, most bizarrely coincidental thing ever is that on the way into work yesterday morning, I decided to listen to that Fuglees CD for the first time in a year, then saw a link to this the very same day.

Those are the eyes of a six-year-old. They are so damned out-and-out freaky "Wish you were here!" postcard from the Valley of the Uncanny.
