Would almost swear I heard KING today in Walgreens but it was near the end and I couldn't make out enough words to say for sure that it wasn't something from twenty years ago from which KING took inspiration. "Try to stop" and "By your side" the only phrases I got down.

Not obscure, but nice to hear "Closer to Fine" staying in the background-music mix (Panera).

Dammmn, nice one. I know that from exactly one playing of it on my local alt-rock station in the late 90s. Was years before I tracked down an MP3 even.

Yes, I was rather pleased to hear it.
― Austin, Tuesday, 19 July 2016 06:13 (seven years ago) link
That is probably my all-time least favorite song from my local alt-rock station (early 90s), but still really impressed that it made your in-store play.

Eh?
During some live performances, ESPN personality Chris Berman, who is a fan of the band, has shown up as a surprise guest, singing the song with the band.[7][8] Berman, who met the band at an ESPN tenth anniversary party,[8] when describing football highlights on NFL Live, will sometimes reference the chorus to the song.[9]
