"Bright Future in Sales" by Fountains of Wayne.

Another Jersey Band.

Mis-categorized as alternative, these guys write some catch pop songs. They tell vivid stories with well thought out characters like the young salesman in "Bright future is sales" who likely has anything but. He sounds like he has a one way ticket to future meeting where he says "Hello my name is X and I'm an acoholic".

Named after a lawn ornament store in Wayne, NJ the band was co founded by Adam Schslesinger and Chris Collingwood. Adam Schslesinger also wrote "That thing you do".
