El grupo fue formado en 1996 por Adam Schlesinger y Chris Collingwood, antiguos compañeros de colegio. Previamente, los dos habían participado en otros grupos: Schlesinger había fundado Ivy en Nueva York y Collingwood The Mercy Buckets en Boston. El nombre del grupo se debe a una tienda de utensilios de jardinería de Wayne, Nueva Jersey, llamada Fountains of Wayne.
A ellos se unieron Brian Young, que había sido batería de The Posies, y Jody Porter, anteriormente en The Belltower. Desde entonces la formación no ha cambiado.
¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!
I think this song is called Frank strange but it might just be called "I love her just the same". Its a pretty rare song, so bare with me kids. I had to listen to the words over and over of a live recording and I think the lyrics are pretty accurate, as are the chords. send comments to [email protected]! -Christopher.
VERSE 1: GCDG his name was frank strange and he rolled into town GCD who caught steven looking down his cold barrel GCDEm they declared a truce, and he bought that man a juice CD and they wandered off to join support groups
VERSE 2:
his girl nelly, though she could cut a rug bustin' the floor boards every evening at the shamrock said "I propose a toast, I think I love you most" you're sucking on your cigarettes and leaning on the post and we say...
CHORUS: CGCG hey hey, put dirt against some day CGD counting down the hours while we row in nature's stream CGCG we are, lovers, bound from mother earth CDEm and it ain't a shame what other people do CDG 'cause I love her just the same as I used to!
VERSE 3:
and in the bingo hall the winning number falls just like a ping-pong ball it bounces off the walls they won't make a mess, they're senior citizens 'cause they know from faded pictures where the kodak rainbow ends and they sing...
CHORUS:
END: CD 'cause I love her just the same x2 CDG I love her just the same as I used to!
