"Counting Blue Cars"
- Dishwalla

What first caught my attention to this song were the words. I was amazed at how the question of the concept of God was being contemplated in a 'Pop' song. But the kicker came when God was referred to as a woman by the male lead singer. I applauded the attempt to challenge the listener while putting it to a great melody. Other songs mentioning God had been released about the same time, so I was paying attention to a possible trend. But Counting Blue Cars added an alternative sound that entertained the listener as much as the words did, something the other songs neglected. I wound up getting the CD single because the album wasn't much of my taste. But this one song was enough for me.
