Guess the song

Do you remember this song?


I do.


That's Hum's completely under-rated classic "Stars," off of 1995's You'd Prefer an Astronaut. It hit #11 on the modern rock charts that year. Good to see Hum (who broke up after 1998's equally-good Downward is Heavenward) getting some love from the mainstream media, even if it is in a Cadillac commercial starring that Grey's Anatomy-spinoff chick.

Fun fact: Hum formed in Champaign, Illinois, music hotbed that also gave us the Poster Children and REO Speedwagon (not at the same time, of course). They'd been around since the late '80s, and Allmusic Guide claims their sound was a template for the Smashing Pumpkins (who, of course, were from Chicago). Interesting.
