I used to listen to Cake pretty much daily on my commute. Since Covid (working at home), then getting forced out of my job I don't listen to music very often. Thanks for posting this fabulous song!

I remember strutting around the office singing with it. I was the only one in the office. The boss was always out.

Lots to like.
The prechorus may be a respectful nod to Sweet Jane. Same changes, same feel. I think it unlikely it's an accident.
The song is quirky so these guys have to know Velvet Underground. Quirky knows quirky.

I like they did it all in one take. All the background singing and sound effects included.

Thinking "this song is about a man that loves empowered women" . Love that.
