Favorite Barenaked Ladies song?

Mine's 'Leave' from their album Stunt. I relate it to me and my wife's early relationship (please don't tell her that). From what I can tell lead singer Ed Roberts wrote it after his brother died. but AI thinks differently...

I also really like 'Light up My Room' but at this point pretty much any song on their Stunt album. Might be the first CD I ever bough with my own money as a kid. Plus early teen me though it was funny to tell people I liked Barenaked Ladies. 'Light up My Room' gives the nostalgia of being the poor kid that doesn't realize they were a poor kid. Finding happiness in simple things. What's your favorite Barenaked Ladies song?
 
Probably What a Good Boy or Break Your Heart. Stunt is still a good album, but I think they started to lose their way when they got really famous.

I agree, they had major hits with songs like One Week and they seemed to change their style up a bit and it felt like they were interested in "gimmicky" stuff and it's not that they didn't always have some of that it just seemed to be more of a focus. It didn't help that Steven Page got busted for cocaine and was asked to leave the band as he was a driving force behind a lot of the writing.
