That song is definitely up there with “Starry Eyes” for best power pop song. The whole album is great but the band actually hates it. Lee Mavers has said he’s going to re-record it but I doubt that’ll ever happen.

I found out about The La’s from the
Just Say Yes To Another Excess compilation that I bought based just on the title. It had a bunch of great bands on it including Buffalo Tom, James, and The Fall. It didn’t have “There She Goes” on it but this song was enough to get me to buy their record.
