My high school gf's name is Denise. I used to sing this to her all the time. Those were the days! RIP Mr. Schlesinger. Thanks for the music and the memories! ⚘
This whole album is great. I remember buying it when I'd never even heard of Fountains of Wayne. I read an album review when it came out, and when I read Adam Schlesinger was involved with the music for That Thing You Do, I just knew I would like it.
It's been years since I have heard this song from a rock radio station...a decade even.. radiation vibe,sink to the bottom and especially leave the biker were songs I like back in the 90s.thank you Adam.good nostalgia is now attached to you.
I spent a decade wondering where I'd seen Jolene Blalock before Star Trek Enterprise. This stroll down Amnesia Lane brought it back. Dude died too damn young, too.
Damn...this song is so cool, as is the band. Kinda Devo meets the Cars. Always loved this tune...and only 152,000 views as of this date? Unbelievable. Great songs.
Just ‘thumbing’ thru UA-cam and discovered this video. Love “Fountains of Wayne” and hate to learn about the death of Adam. My name is Denise, and it’s refreshing to see a “Denise” who’s not represented as ugly or fat. Thank you!😊
A band being a one-hit wonder is not a reflection on the quality of music, but simply an objective statement of whether or not they had more than one charting single. Devo and Jimi Hendrix are technically one-hit wonders, but they've got tons of great music. Stacy's Mom is their only song to chart on the US, US Adult, US Alternative, US Pop, Australian, Canadian, Netherlands, New Zealand, and United Kingdom charts. That said, you are correct if you factor in the US Alternative charts. Stacy's Mom is not their only US Alternative Top 40 hit, nor even their highest charting among them. Radiation Vibe hit 14 on that chart and Denise hit 34, while Stacy's Mom hit 31.
@JACKSON EWING generally, when a band is cited as a one hit wonder, they're specifically referring to songs that reach at least #40 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the US and/or the UK Singles Charts. Genre-specific charts are not taken into consideration.
@@DLZ2000 The "one top-40 hit" designation is an absolutely asinine, reductionist way of determining one-hit wonders. I will not live in a world where a-ha is not a one-hit wonder (because of "The Sun Always Shines on TV," a top-40 hit that exactly zero people could remember 3 years later much less now) but the Grateful Dead and Jimi Hendrix supposedly are. There is no magical formula that says an act is a one-hit wonder or not--some acts are huge in Europe or the U.S. but only had 1 breakthrough hit elsewhere. Some acts are album acts or touring acts, as the Dead were for decades. Sometimes a longtime cult figure breaks through with one mainstream hit, like Warren Zevon or Lou Reed or...yes, the Fountains of Wayne. I don't consider them a 1HW.
@@pronkb000 again, words and phrases have meanings. It has absolutely nothing to do with the quality of the band's music. But the fact is, by the definition of the phrase one hit wonder, a band will forever have that designation if only one of their songs charted. It's not a criticism of the band, just the definition of the phrase. It cannot ever be defined by the subjective assessment of the music, no matter how good or bad that music is.
@@DLZ2000 The definition according to whom? The One-Hit Wonder Fairy? And I'm not talking about quality of music--I *hate* the Grateful Dead. But calling them "one-hit wonders" is asinine when they were one of the most popular touring acts in America for 30 years. They weren't a singles band.
Loved the "Addams Family" (and "Munsters") when I was younger-and still do. My ringtone is the intro tune. Fans and people who watched it have been known to snap their fingers along with it!
I was a teenager during the 80s, and most people tend to say how the music that was popular during their teenage years was the best era of music. Top 40 was definitely seeing better days during this period. I know a lot of it was labelled alternative, but how alternative could it have been seeing as Top 40 radio was pumping it 24/7?
When you hear the background “oh do ya do ya/sha la la la vocals/harmonies/melodies, it’s not hard to hear how Adam was the brain behind The Wonders “That Thing You Do” one of the legit catchiest songs ever penned, fictional movie band or not. RIP to a special musician
Have watched this as a kid ages ago and did not remember much of it and was desperately looking for it, finally through AI found it, and I am happy I did. Awesome song and video.
How old is this music video? I remember waiting to stream it on Aol music. UA-cam doesn't have the upload date. I'll always remember my first crush and loving this song. Thanks Fountains of Wayne for being a part of my youth.

Fountains of Wayne deserves so much more attention.
Always did.
RIP Adam Schlesinger (October 31, 1967 - April 1, 2020), aged 52
You will be remembered as a legend.

See the "Enterprise" music video ("Stacy's Mom')that Jolene is in for this song too. It's for the 'Home' episode in the 4th season.
That’s corny. No wonder she’s your ex…
This and Radiation Vibe were my jam, well before Stacy's Mom. RIP Adam, thanks for the great music
RIP Adam, took me years to find this song, glad i did
Huge loss
😮🙊Is dead? Oh no! 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
remember seeing this in 2013 took me 8 years to find this song again
@@mohamedhabchi9189 Yes He died from COVID 19 last year
I'm really impressed that Adam wrote such a good song like this
He was such an amazing songwriter, and his voice is amazing
Learning of Adam's passing just today, four years later :( Rest in Peace, and thanks for the awesome music. You made the world a better place.
This one was always my favorite. RIP Adam
R.I.P. Adam Schlesinger. 😢

Always one of my faves. RIP Adam
One of the most underrated songs ever

Great band!! Great song! Rest In Peace Adam.
These guys wrote perfect rock songs. Period
I spent a decade wondering where I'd seen Jolene Blalock before Star Trek Enterprise. This stroll down Amnesia Lane brought it back. Dude died too damn young, too.

They look just like Devo in this video!

🤣
It's Jolene Blalock of Star Trek Enterprise fame.
Incredible!!! videos from an era so missed! FOUNTAINS OF WAYNE FOR THE WIN!

13 years looking for this.... what a great song!!
Loved the "Addams Family" (and "Munsters") when I was younger-and still do. My ringtone is the intro tune. Fans and people who watched it have been known to snap their fingers along with it!
Chris singing, pining for a beautiful muse and treasuring that sweet goblet of nectar that is carwash coffee. Sublime!
First Fountains of Wayne song I ever heard.
Denise is positively Alien.....such a pretty member of the Vulcan High command.
Yup She was a beautiful Vulcan Trip was a lucky guy and was nice to see they ended up together in the books continued the story
Can't get this song outta my head ..Masterpiece !!
It was an earworm for me too.
What a great snare sound
when people ask you what the 90s were like, this is one of the videos to show them :-)
The vibe energy so works you got this.
this video sooooo late 90's/early2000's..its beautiful

Los afortunados amaran a una Denise!
So underrated...what a song
This song is nuts. Just like throwing out hook after hook and letting them go.
2:13 mágico
Missing the 90s hard right now
Love the Kramer!!!!!

I’ve had this song stuck in my head for like 20 years. Fountains of Wayne forever, RIP Adam
I love this song !! Apart from " Denise" being my name !!
So your name isn't "Speedy"? :)
So is my name.
Have watched this as a kid ages ago and did not remember much of it and was desperately looking for it, finally through AI found it, and I am happy I did. Awesome song and video.
aaaahhhhh memories. Pleasant memories....
This video is a Trainwreck - great song! RIP Adam
Cool song
Heard this song for the first time today, on AM radio of all places.
I'm a fan. These guys were great
such an underrated band :(
Wild.......n.......perfect
im so old I remember puff daddy from this fountains of wayne song
Memories of HS in 2003! Rip Adam!
love those Vaccaro guitars
Live long and prosper, T'Pol. 🖖
Damn T’pol is the hottest Vulcan And just looks so other worldly with those eyes
I strongly recommend the first album.
I prefer Traffic And Weather
You can't catch that. So smooth.
Love this
Great song!
I'm afraid if I listen to this song to much ill get sick of it. But I can't help it.
Then listen to this..ua-cam.com/video/VzbEtG6wElA/v-deo.html
It’s 2024 and Denise absolutely isn’t listening to Puff Daddy anymore.
I AM DENISE AND I
Denise here too, Did you know it started-out as a last name in France?
GREAT
The Kramer brand guitars Rules!!!!
Vacarro was the make
One of the most underrated bands of the 90s, no question. A true shame that they have been considered a "one-hit wonder" by many.
Good video! I love it! go go!!
Sha la la la laaaaaa
hell yaa!!!
Gotta Love this
thank you
She still makes me weak in the knees. 😕 FOW 💯❤
Suenan muy Devo super rola estilo 80s
I love this video reminds me of the old flavor of devo. Bravo who wrote it.
Apenas me vengo enterando que existe esta canción. JJAJAJAJAJA. AMO.
45 people weren't loved by Denise
What a shame😅. My name is Denise Marie.
Why in God's name does this not have MILLIONS of views????
Holy shit, Denise Actress = T'Pol From Star Trek: Enterprise
Like Weezer meets Devo in a way. Love FOW.
Wevo or Deezer?
This is so incredibly accurate.
The Cars also
Great stuff. One thing -- why put the advertising over the end of the video? Messing up the final shot of Jolene Blalock.
I don't understand how there are any dislikes on this video.
Sorry for the groups loss of Schlesinger (background vocals) to COVID in 2020.
❤️ this song tho. It's alright! 👍😉😎
Wild video... have to watch 3 time in a row sometimes 😁
RIP
Rest IN Peace ADAM!
Are we not men? We are FOW!
oldies then...old now...;)))
Why did I just find out about this song in 2023!?
yeah I love you!
Rip Adam …
My heart sink to the bottom …
She's got a heart made of gravel.
Weird visual stylisation of the band as some mix of Devo and Weezer, but this is such a banger.
Thinking back on it, I think Denise may have been the first woman I ever had a crush on lol..
I'VE MISSED FOW SO MUCH D:
How old is this music video? I remember waiting to stream it on Aol music. UA-cam doesn't have the upload date. I'll always remember my first crush and loving this song. Thanks Fountains of Wayne for being a part of my youth.
Holy shit, this is amazing!
Puff daddy 💀
VL-Tone for the WIN
RIP.
OH DO YA DO YA OH DO YA DO YA?
Way better than Stacey’s Mom!
Denise is hotter than Stacy's Mom
Can't say I agree with you there
Debatable.. a fun debate..
Hahaha
LOL! Thinking the same thing. To me anyway, much hotter.
Don't forget Barbara H.
They remind of Devo. Cool to see Jolene Blalock here. So unlike her Vulcan lady T'Pol-except for those eyes!
RIP adam.
