"The Big Lie" by Gigolo Aunts

Hailing from Potsdam, New York, the Gigolo Aunts (named after the Syd Barrett song) is a powerpop band that has been paying their dues since the early 80s, yet never found chart success. They came close to a breakthrough in the 90s with their song, "Where I Find My Heaven," which was featured on the soundtrack to the hit film, Dumb and Dumber. 

Thanks to support from Adam Duritz of the Counting Crows, the band released a new record in 1999 called "Minor Chords and Major Themes." It is a solid powerpop affair and "The Big Lie" is one of my favorites by the band.
