Happy anniversary, Lovefool! Our very successful child, may your life be long and prosperous. We love you, sweet nuisance! That goes to show how confident The Cardigans were right from the off! One need only hear a few seconds of the introduction to know what it is! One feels warmer when they hear the song. The video is also pretty fantastic!
