More Info:
The Grammy-nominated, gold-certified pop darlings at Jive Records are at it again. Bowling for Soup is hot on the trail of evil-doers around the globe. Inspired by The Great Burrito Extortion Case, this latest addition to Bowling for Soup's oeuvre includes their classic insightful advice, pop culture references and some pretty big words. The great first single,"High School Never Ends,"was co-written and co-produced by Adam Schlesinger (Fountains of Wayne).Reviews:
''The Great Burrito Extortion Case'' is Bowling for Soup's sixth studio album and eighth album overall released on November 7, 2006 as their fifth album through Jive Records. It is their ninth album in total. It was originally set to be titled ''All My Rowdy Friends Are Still Intoxicated'' or ''We're Not Fat, We Just Have Small Heads''. This album's first single to be released was "High School Never Ends", which is available on iTunes. The album got an Honorable Mention on Ultimate-Guitar's top ten albums of 2006, and debuted at #88 on the Billboard Top 200.
The album's title originated from the news ticker on the bottom of a TV screen that the group saw when in a hotel bar. The headline said "Burrito Extortion Case," which intrigued the band members.
According to the band on their official website "there are at least 12 verses' worth of total joy for every sort-of-sad chorus about an ex-girlfriend on this record." - Wikipedia
No, no, no, no, no. Fountains of Wayne did "Stacy's Mom." These guys did "1985." Better get your alt-rock novelty rolodex in order before you fill in that World Series of Pop Culture application. BFS also hit novelty paydirt with "Girl All the Bad Guys Want" in 2002; not to be confused with Wheatus' "Teenage Dirtbag."
