I'd have an idea for a video, but it would get pushed aside and then we'd get pushed into doing these silly photo shoots." I never even saw one of our music videos I had nothing to do with them. We couldn't get that across, though, with the way we were marketed. "We believe that you could have something that was catchy but also conveyed some irony, and some ambivalence. "Somebody once described our music as pretty little songs with dirty little words, which I thought was great," Jenkins says.

Jim Carrey, another icon of Clinton-era irreverence, even prominently covered "Jumper" in last year's hit comedy, Yes Man. After a long period of dormancy, the band's late-'90s hits have found second life on nostalgic radio stations and in the songbooks of frat boys with acoustic guitars everywhere.
