I heard this song for the first time on Wednesday night, I don’t know how I missed it, it’s such a great song. It is said to be the most famous song by the west coast indie rock band Pinback. The song is written about a pet goldfish of the band’s named Penelope that died. “Don’t want to see you floating upside down. On the top of the bowl when I come around to visit you”.
Penelope is on Blue Screen Life, released in 2001, available on .
