If it was the great song that a few people are making it out to be, we wouldn't have to "deal" with anything. We would really enjoy it. You're post doesn't make much sense, "dealing" with a "great song?"

    Musically, I think it can compete with the Big Three. The only decision I didn't think was fantastic was the supplanting of Sax / Violin by the electric guitar. Lyrically, I don't think it can compete, but then again nothing much could IMO. Still, I love BWGK and will be just as excited to hear Squirm as #41 (but maybe not quite so much as LIOG :-P)

    EDIT: Yikes, this isn't a BWGK review, it's an Alligator Pie review. No, I don't think it can compete with the majority of BWGK songs.

    I'm going back and forth on this one. I go from really liking it to having major issues with the "stella said daddy when you gonna put me in a song" line, especially with it being repeated so much. That's my biggest problem with the song at the moment. Still in my top 7-8 from the album though easily.

    It seems a little unfinished, but I wouldn't call it a mess by any means.

    AGREED! Regardless, this song is going to be SICK on tour. I'm psyched to see it...hopefully soon!

    Alligator Pie will grow on people. This song will be beastly in a live setting, and it tons of fun.

    Squirm and Timebomb DEFINATELY challenge the songs from the Big 3 for quality. In fact, I personally like Squirm and Timebomb BETTER than most of the Big 3 material. Squirm is in my top 20 for sure... maybe top 10 or 15.

    I still dislike this song a lot. I don't see how people are loving this but hate bayou, i would take bayou way before this song. The song goes on without any direction, purpose or structure. IMO of course.

    The 3 albums that are pretty much unanimously looked at as the best three DMB albums. They are Under the Table and Dreaming, Crash, and Before These Crowded Streets.

    Re: Alligator Pie competes with most songs from the "Big Three"

    alligator pie used to be maybe my least favorite songs on the album...now after a couple listens its near my fav's-but then again, the whole album as a whole grew on me...first couple times through it was so-so; now after listening to it for days on end, there isnt a song i dont like--i cant say that about ANY dave album (except for BTCS, which does have a song or 2 im not a HUGE fan of)

    alligator pie is similar to Bayou, but like 10 times better...if you dont like it now, listen to it a few more times and itll grow on you

    This song grows on me the more I listen and I love that bridge part when it slows down and gets pretty.

    I don't know how Dave did it, but he could say stuff like "sing and dance, hey la la hey la la la hey la la la", "so much to say so much to say so much to say so much to say", "splish splash me and you takin' a bath", etc. and I'd still love the lyrics to his songs. Maybe I'm older or something, but that whole "Stella said daddy when you gonna put me in a song" just turns me off as a listener. I still like the song, but it's little parts like that which make otherwise great songs not quite so great in my book.

    I am halfway surprised he didn't yell Stellaaaaaaa like in a streetcar named desire...

    I am glad someone else confirmed that he is actually saying this...I thought for a moment perhaps it was just me hearing him say it! hahahahah :P

    After just coming home and hearing the clips from Fenway...there is no chance whatsoever the opinion of the OP stands with anyone in two months.

    Re: Alligator Pie competes with most songs from the "Big Three"

    lol it's apples to oranges folks, totally different styles so rather than complain about the new stuff just enjoy it. My favorite album I'd BTCS and I'll take every song on there before pretty much anything on BWGK but that doesn't make AP a bad song, nor does it make the album bad. I could listen to these new songs for days, it really is the best we've heard in a long time.

    Plus a lot of "you people" would probably be bashing some of the songs on the big 3 of one of them had just been released, I guess it's natural, but then again you were pissed about dmb not releasing an album for 4 years...

    I like it Bubba, but I'm not putting it up with there with just about anything from the Big 3. Just my opinion.
