The song is their only one to have flown up the chart, topping out at #38. The band's follow up record, "King James Version" fell through the cracks as their record company got reshuffled and didn't see the light of day until late 2000. Most people had moved on by then and the band fell into obscurity.

"Flagpole Sitta" by Harvey Danger
Not all bands coming out of Seattle in the 90s played grunge. Indie rockers Harvey Danger formed in 1993 and achieved some modest, unlikely success in 1998 with their catchy as hell anthem, "Flagpole Sitta." The band was started by a couple student journalists at the University of Washington who spotted the name "Harvey Danger" on a wall of graffiti in the office where they worked.
