Fountains of Wayne — “Stacy’s Mom”

Fountains of Wayne — “Stacy’s Mom”

A song played at every wedding, at every dance, and in every store, “Stacy’s Mom” has cast a great shadow over the rest of the discography of Fountains of Wayne. Today, Rob is here to shine some light on their prolific careers, commemorating the life of legends including the lead bassist and lyricist for the band, Adam Schlesinger. Fountains of Wayne are clearly a 2000s-sounding band, but their lyrics are reminiscent of bands from Rob’s youth like The Cars, giving them a timeless sound. Later, he is joined by music journalist Annie Zaleski, who shares her favorite songs from their catalog, how “Stacy’s Mom” became a novelty song, and the many different projects of Adam Schlesinger after Fountains of Wayne like ‘Crazy Ex-Girlfriend’ and the band Ivy.
