    The lead singer is Adam Duritz and he's said the song was inspired by a night where he and a friend were at a bar and they wanted to talk to some girls, but were too shy and insecure to approach them.

      Yes, given how he responds to songs, I think that Hard to Handle and Twice as Hard would be great songs for him to try. She Talks to Angels is a lovely song, but he does not have the same reaction to those songs. He should still do the slower ones, but mix them into a day he has more upbeat ones.

    "It's really a song about my friend Marty and I. We went out one night to watch his dad play, his dad was a Flamenco guitar player who lived in Spain (David Serva), and he was in San Francisco in the mission playing with his old Flamenco troupe. And after the gig we all went to this bar called the New Amsterdam in San Francisco on Columbus."
    People like to say this song is about his privates, but that is completely false.

    This song is based off of a true story. Adam Duritz, the frontman for the band was at a bar with Marty Jones of the Himalayans (Adam was originally in that band) and saw a musician chatting up several women. The two of them didn't have the courage to talk to any of the women so they just sat there imagining it would be easier if they were famous. When they got home they wrote this song. The bar was the New Amsterdam in San Francisco and they went there after hearing Marty Jones' father who is flamenco guitarist David Serva play somewhere else.

      When Hootie and the Blowfish first came out they tried to hide the fact that he was a black man thinking that people wouldn't buy his music if they knew so they kept it quiet as long as they could.

    Thanks for this one! Such a truly talented band! My uncle went to high school and was friends with the keyboardist! His name is Charlie Gillingham, and he’s a truly lovely person! My uncle took me to one of their shows in Denver, and Charlie let us come back stage and meet the band. He Hadn’t seen my uncle in years, but genuinely seemed thrilled to have an old high school friend and fellow Californian there to support them. He even told me stories about he and my uncle playing some hoops back in the day 😂! Needless to say I’m a huge fan, and had the pleasure of getting to see them live several times back in the 90’s and early 00’s! Love your reactions you always make my day! Much ❤️ for you!

    The "Flamingo Girl" is actually "Flamenco"...it's a type of Spanish music and dancing. But besides that--this song is a great jam, man. The 90s had some very eclectic music, and there were some really good gems sprinkled throughout. The Counting Crows is one of them.
    Also, stop being lonely. When you're a little crazy and "different" (like I often am), it's hard to find a group that you can call 'your people,' but they are out there, and they're usually found by accident. Here's to hoping that you have a happy accident!

    **spoiler alert**: this song is about the singer (Adam Duritz) and the bass player (Marty Jones) sitting in a bar one night as unknown new artists and watching other more popular musicians get all the beautiful women following them around... and they tell each other "fairy tales" of how one day they too will be big stars and have all of the beautiful women flocking around them too... and they will never be lonely.

    A freind of mine was a big fan of Counting Crows and hung out with them for a few months before they were famous. Hearing Counting Crows records playing in the backgound I never paid much attention but I noticed that 'Mr Jones' appears in a few songs, hanging out with the singer, promising to make him a star, pushing him,leaving in an acrymonious split and being missed, so I always presumed 'Mr Jones' was their manager.
