\nGod, I loved Hum.
\nOne of the only times I ever listened to Howard Stern he kept talking about how much he liked this song. He kept playing it over and over again and having them rewind to the loud part and play it again and talking about how much he loved it.
\nI once wrote a letter to my local paper - because I\u2019ve always wanted to be a blog commenter, I guess - saying that the local morning radio DJs should be replaced by Howard Stern. I don\u2019t know why I wrote this, since I didn\u2019t listen to Howard Stern (I kinda couldn\u2019t since it was 1996 and I was in upstate New York); I think MTV told me he was cool and I liked the book he wrote, or something. I certainly don\u2019t know why the paper printed it other than that they were just grateful for a break from the constant stream of pro-life letters. But they printed it, and then the local morning DJs called my house in the morning to talk to me about it on the air, but I was asleep, because I was a teenager, and so my mom took the call and told them I was asleep and couldn\u2019t come to the phone. They didn\u2019t call back.

I somehow forgot this song - it reminds me of summers at the neighborhood pool, along with Counting Blue Cars and Standing Outside A Broken Phone Booth With Money In My Hand.
