Biography:
Marcy Playground is an American alternative rock and post-grunge band. Named for the formative location in lead singer John Wozniak's childhood (the Marcy Open grade school in Minneapolis, Minnesota), Marcy Playground emerged in the late 90s. They had been influenced heavily by Kurt Cobain and his band Nirvana. The influence is quite clear on Marcy Playground's self-titled album, with songs like The Shadow of Seattle and Saint Joe On The School Bus.

Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
This song was a hit in summer of 1999.
We played that song at the wellfare-party of our annual in 1999.
It was great fun. Hope you enjoy. Anyway I'm not sure about the lyrics.
A former class-mate took the maxi-CD from me and now I can't retry.
Hope you don't mind.
