Bohemian Like You

Taylor-Taylor wrote it; Dave Sardy, Gregg Williams and he produced. He told Songfacts he saw a woman in an early-1980s BMW at a traffic light below his apartment, fantasized about her car breaking down and wrote the song on the spot; one dude told him she was a pastry chef. He told Ink19 it is the only song on the album that isn't actually just a true, straight-up story, a blend worked into a little fiction, and told The Recoup that the riff is a fake Keith Richards or a Kiss lick he played with for weeks before writing the song in about an hour. Erik Gavriluk plays organ. It was released to US alternative radio on July 11, 2000 and in the UK on August 28, 2000, where Wikipedia says it reached 42 and Songfacts that it failed to chart. After Vodafone used it, the UK re-release on October 29, 2001 reached 5.

Holmstrom said ad royalties paid for our independence and helped fund the Odditorium. Vodafone used it to launch its brand across many markets from 2001 to 2004, and Ford, Holden, Citroen and Next also used it; it is in the films The Replacements, Igby Goes Down and Flushed Away and in Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Six Feet Under and Chuck. It reached 7 on US Triple-A, 28 on Modern Rock and 1 in Portugal, and is platinum in the UK and New Zealand. Taylor-Taylor directed the video, shot at the since-closed Slabtown bar in Portland as a karaoke-bar parody, noted for nudity that is often pixelated. NME's Louis Pattison called it the quintessential Dandy Warhols moment, and The Independent's Robert Webb a defining song of the last decade. It was Theresa May's walk-off music in 2011, to which Taylor-Taylor responded angrily.

A 2006 mashup with Mousse T's "Horny", "Horny as a Dandy", reached 17 in the UK, and a B-side cover of AC/DC's "Hells Bells" accompanied the single. Setlist.fm counts 536 performances, their most played. We could not confirm that our upload is the official video.
