}} "Another Postcard" is a song by Canadian rock band Barenaked Ladies. It was the band's first single from the album ''Everything to Everyone'', which was released after the band took a nearly two-year hiatus from performing. The song is notable for its reggae-rap verses, somewhat evocative of Canadian rapper Snow. The verses are rapped by Ed Robertson while the chorus and bridge are led by Steven Page. The two co-wrote the track. ==Content== The song is a story told by a protagonist who explains his situation. He has been receiving anonymous postcards with images of chimpanzees on the front. The verses explain the situation, while the pre-choruses list various types of chimpanzees on some of the postcards. The song was inspired when a neighbour of Page's sent a postcard depicting a chimpanzee to one of Page's children. This inspired the plot of the song (which is reminiscent of a plot from the film ''Amélie''). It was originally written as a joke song, but became the first single off the album. A sizable portion of the band's fanbase (and perhaps the public) saw the song for little more than its trivial subject matter. The selection of the song as a single was attributed to the band's record company, Reprise, and was seen as an attempt to recapture the success of similarly rap-inspired singles "One Week" and "Pinch Me." The song was not particularly successful and did not attain the success of the two aforementioned songs, each being the first single from one of the band's two preceding albums (''Stunt'' and ''Maroon'' respectively). This may have contributed to the album ''Everything to Everyones poorer sales. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Another Postcard」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
