Song of the Day 4/30: The Click Five, “Just the Girl”

The Click Five was a power pop band founded in the mid-aughts in Boston, where most of them attended the Berklee School of Music. They scored a hit right out of the box with this tune penned by Adam Schlesinger of Fountains of Wayne.

Power pop isn’t a cool genre to begin with, but the decision to market the band like ’60s teen idols, with matching suits and haircuts, didn’t help. It also didn’t help that their own songs weren’t quite as catchy as their first hit, and they faded almost as quickly as they arrived. They broke up after three albums.
