What song is Mavis singing in "Young Adult"?


Search
: get some records by the Status Quo

Why: We watched that movie last night. She plays it on Repeat and sings along about a million times, and then [spoiler alert] someone else sings it later. It is the new "Anyone Else But You."

Answer: "The Concept" by Teenage Fanclub! It's from their 1991 album Bandwagonesque - which, btdubs, was SPIN's 1991 Album of the Year, not Nevermind.
Lyrics go like:
She wears denim wherever she goes
Says she's gonna get some records by the Status Quo
Oh yeah

Still she won't be forced against her will
Says she don't do drugs but she does the Pill
Oh yeah

I didn't want to hurt you,
Oh yeah...

The More You Know: That movie was pretty good. There are some things that really bothered me about it, but I'll wait to tell you what they were after you've seen it. I hope you'll agree that Patton Oswalt was the true star.
Well, owl be.
