The opening dial tone and McCrea’s voice create the opening for a song that sounds like someone who is either upset that their significant other is never around or someone who may have an unhealthy obsession with someone who’s trying to get away from them. The punctuation of the trumpet adds to the sinister vibe of this song. This was the only Cake...
Kenny Rogers initially did this song steeped in traditional country. However, Cake’s version also has cowboy elements, but more like you’d expect to see in the Vince Vaughn film Clay Pigeons. Moreover, Cake’s version has whimsy that is missing in the other version.
Even though The Distance was more well known, this is another fun song about racing cars. However, underneath the lyrics, you hear a scathing social commentary about the subculture of the sport. Even for a note, the guitar sounds tinny, and the intermittent trumpet parts create a complexity absent in many other songs released during the 90s.
This song has salsa and Latin influence, and McCrea’s voice and DiFiore’s trumpets add elements of a big band. Cake’s entire career was built on fusing unlikely styles of music to create masterpieces. Near the end of the song, you begin to hear light bongo drums which may seem out of place in other pieces but work well with Cake’s eclectic style.
This song sounds like Bob Dylan Positively Fourth Street updated. The refrain stays with the listener long after the song is over. It’s incredible how many people say they are friends but, in reality, talk behind other’s backs. At the beginning of the song, the mournful guitar riffs reflect the terrible feeling when we find out someone has turned o...
Another song from Cake’s album B-Sides and Rarities is an unlikely cover. Even though the Sex Pistols knocked it out of the park with their cover of another Old Blue Eyes song, it’s a rarity for this genre of music to be covered by a punk or alternative band. The instrumentation in the song is much more sparse than the original take. The intermitte...
This song is one of the group’s few love songs. However, it comes across much like Barenaked Ladies If I Had A Million Dollars than something to slow dance to in the rain. It’s a fun song with a lot of unique imagery. Since falling in love is equated to being hit by a truck by cynics, the image of an elephant crashing in makes the thought of gettin...
Let’s face it, some cars aren’t built for snuggling on your significant other’s shoulder during long car rides. Cake’s song is an uncomfortable tribute to this problem. When they take on topics like relationships throughout their catalog, they make them fun and playful instead of being a long litany of how much they love a person. The drum beats in...
Throughout Cake’s catalog, they explore numerous styles of music, all under the heading of alternative rock. In this song, despite the modern lyrics, the group fuses mariachi and funk. Much like the lyrics of other songs, Cake sings in contradictions; all of the things that the person is listing for his significant other are contradictions.
According to Songfacts, the lyrics in this song are part of the Gospel of Matthew. During Biblical times, goats were thought to be a symbol of hell because they had cloven hooves. Throughout the song, they make additional references to other religions and spiritual beliefs. “I just want to play on my panpipes, I just want to drink me some wine,” re...

Cake. Best-known for their ubiquitous hit "The Distance," Cake epitomized the postmodern, irony-drenched aesthetic of '90s geek rock. Their sound freely mixed and matched pastiches of widely varying genres -- white-boy funk, ... A comment was added to Jolene by wrhusc.
