The Strokes - Probably my best memory of the Strokes is hearing their single “Last Night” on the radio for the first time and thinking I need to get this record but then again I am seeing them tomorrow night for the first time so this answer will probably change.

(I’ve got a message for you), I’ll be comin’ back today, (I keep it in my hand) You know I’m comin’ back one day, (I’ve got a sister or two), And I’ll be comin’ back today”
