Despite the lyrics (“Nice fox don’t dance on the oyster shells”), you want to take this song seriously. If I ever have a short film made about my life that recaptures all my poignant moments, “Nice Fox” by The Rosebuds will be the soundtrack. It’s the sort of song you expect to hear in a Zach Braff movie.

I can picture it. Just as the lead character (Zach) fusses over a decision, like kissing a girl, making amends with a drunken, abusive father, or leaving his hometown for good, “Nice Fox” kicks in, and as it fades out minutes later, he makes a bold decision.

Then again, I have an hyper-active imagination. 

Though it’s hard to find another Rosebuds tune that sounds anything like “Nice Fox,” (the band could be labeled indie, pop, folk, rock or dance ), the track is a must-have and belongs in your MP3 folder.
