This song came up on my Pandora and I immediately began thinking of guilty pleasures.

That song would be “Jumper” by Third Eye Blind. The performance starts about 45 seconds in.

Honestly it’s probably pretty atrocious. It’s simple and tries to be hard rock.  It’s overly earnest and overly melodramatic. It’s like a precursor to emo.

And yet when it came on the (online) radio, I couldn’t help but sing along, sadly nearly the top of my lungs. Ah, coming of age in the late 90′s.
