Bachelor No. 2 or, the Last Remains of the Dodo, 2000
Written by Aimee Mann
This song is a cautionary tale about fame and its fleeting nature, something that Mann was grappling with at the time of the recording. "Everyone loves you, why should they not? / And I'm the only one who knows / That Disneyland's about to close." In a just worls, Mann would be even more critically lauded. This song features her terrific, wry vocals, an understated guitar, and beautiful piano lines that evoke Burt Bacharach.
