Song of the Day: The Cardigans - Carnival

This Swedish band was a one-hit wonder in the U.S., but I was fortunate to see them live before that one hit actually hit. I still really enjoy listening to Life and First Band on the Moon, and they were a very competent live band (I realize that may sound like an insult, but I don't intend it to be). I've heard that their subsequent LP has become something of a cult album, and according to allmusic.com, they've even released a few since then. Hearing this song, the first from Life (and not the hit), makes me wonder whether I want to seek out more. But I think I'll just stick with these two, each of which also include a Black Sabbath cover (yup).
