FEEL GOOD HIT OF THE SUMMER
“Feel Good Hit of the Summer” is a song by American rock band Queens of the Stone Age and written by band members Josh Homme and Nick Oliveri. It is the opening track of their second album, Rated R, and the second single to be released from it. The song also accompanied the UK release of the album on a separate CD entitled Rated U. Upon the album’s release, “Feel Good Hit of the Summer” had particular attention drawn to it due to the song’s focus on drugs. Despite this, critical reception to the song was generally positive, with various critics considering it a highlight of the album. (More from Wikipedia)
