410. "Rabbit Fur Coat" Jenny Lewis and the Watson Twins

"Rabbit Fur Coat"
Jenny Lewis and the Watson Twins
Rabbit Fur Coat
2006

As soon as I found out that Rilo Kiley frontwoman Jenny Lewis had been a child actor, I started wishing she would write a song about it.
Then she made a solo record, and she did write a song about it. And absolutely nailed it.
Now, there are things I would advise her to change if I had been in the studio with her, but alas, at the time this record was made I had two newborn daughters to attend to. And a really good franchise season of NCAA Football 2002 going on PlayStation.
Now, I obviously would have kept all the poignant moments about being "a hundred thousand dollar kid" being raised by a thieving, irresponsible, transient mother. But I also would have at least included a verse about feelings w/r/t Fred Savage. And at least two verses on the promise of, and subsequent disappointing results of, the Nintendo Power Glove.
But hey, she made the song she made. With my help, maybe it could cracked our top ten, but this is still a Top 500 quality song.
