Fashion Nugget, 1996
Written by Greg Brown
With the usual guitar, drums, bass and deadpan vocal (and an electronic synthesizer whistle), this is a typical Cake song, but one of their most popular songs. To me it's not up there with my favorites, but it's definitely got a driving beat impelling it along. It seems to be a song about moving through success and failure and just trying to get there for yourself. "No trophy, no flowers, no flashbulbs, no wine / He's haunted by something he cannot define." Maybe doing your best for love. "And thinking of someone for whom he still burns."
