The Replacements had been indie darlings for the better parts of a decade in 1989. This song was the closest they got to breaking out of that.
From the album Don't Tell A Soul, this video was in heavy MTV rotation, even during the day. Which is good. Because The Replacements were actively seeking a hit after many years of that indie fame. They didn't quite make it there - this song peaked at #51 on the Billboard Hot 100 - but it did spread their sound to a broader audience.
