    When I'm out walking
    I strut my stuff
    And I'm so strung out
    I'm high as a kite
    I just might stop to check you out
    Let me go on
    Like I blister in the sun
    Let me go on
    Big hands, I know you're the one
    Body and beats
    I stain my sheets
    I don't even know why
    My girlfriend, she's at the end
    She is starting to cry
    Let me go on
    Like I blister in the sun
    Let me go on
    Big hands, I know you're the one
    When I'm out walking
    I strut my stuff
    And I'm so strung out
    I'm high as a kite
    I just might stop to check you out
    When I'm out walking
    I strut my stuff
    And I'm so strung out
    I'm high as a kite
    I just might stop to check you out
    Body and beats
    I stain my sheets
    I don't even know why
    My girlfriend, she's at the end
    She is starting to cry
    When I'm out walking
    I strut my stuff
    And I'm so strung out
    I'm high as a kite
    I just might stop to check you out
    Let me go on
    Like I blister in the sun
    Let me go on
    Big hands, I know you're the one

    Until this moment I thought this was some new hipster band that came out sometime after around 2012, when I first heard them. Does anybody know why they suddenly began playing this song on major radio stations several years back? I had honestly never heard of them, were they a lesser known band in their heyday?
