Blues Traveller - Run Around

fact: i had a fake i.d. one summer from the state of north carolina. i picked north carolina because it looked like the easiest driver's license to copy among the choices provided to me at the store (which included texas, idaho, and colorado.) i removed the words FOR NOVELTY USE ONLY with a cotton ball and some nail polish remover. later i learned that the easiest state driver's license to copy was new jersey. you could even duplicate the hologram, which was a crappy little gold key, with a stencil and some gold spraypaint applied very lightly. in college i knew somebody who very nearly made a living making fake new jersey driver's licenses.

see, commentator, i know lots of useless information about state i.d.'s just like you.

i shudder to think what ditties comprise numbers 77 - 100 of VH1's 100 Greatest Songs of the 90's.


Video

The video for the song is loosely based on The Wizard of Oz, with the central character being "Dorothy Gale" and a Cairn Terrier pulling back a curtain.

Although the video for this song shows a Kansas driver's license, the license shown was not the current design but instead the design the state used in the mid to late 1980s.

The song reached #76 in VH1'S 100 Greatest Songs of the 90's.
