I was wondering if anyone alive does not like this song.

"Like" might be too strong of a word.

What would be more appropriate for you? And if you don't like it, what don't you like about it?

Honest questions.

"Someday" and "Last Night" by The Strokes and I both love that song.

the only time I don't like it is when its being belted out by a bunch of rednecks or pack of retarded drunk girls.

Agreed on rednecks.

Retarded drunk girls are my favorite kind.

I can't really say that I dislike it, either. Can't give any specifics really.

Just one of those songs I've heard a thousand times and never really cared about one way or the other. I don't mind it when I hear it, but I've never really had a desire to listen to it on my own time.

I fall into this boat as well. I've heard it so many times at this point in my life that it's really hard to say I "like" it.

There, I did it before anyone could get really vicious.

I like the song though.

Thumbs up, though, since bringing it up, all I can hear in my head is matchbox twenty's cover of it. They haunt me to this day.

That's pretty much when I like it the most.


Anyone have strong feelings about Refugee?

I like it but I'm not sure that I wouldn't hit the next button if it came up on random on the ipod. I'm not a huge Petty fan in general and I like other songs of his more including Refugee.

I like it a lot, as well as the cover of it by the Dance Hall Crashers.

Totally disregarding the song title, not liking this song is probably the purest litmus test ever for whether or not someone hates America.

You may have heard it too many times over the years, but even so, you still have to like it.

If not, DEPORTATION!!!

I think that the disc this song is from (s/t), his second, is his best disc, and I didn't like much that he did after that.

That said, yes, I like the song.
