Modest Mouseis an American alternativeband. The band was formed in 1993 in Issaquah, Washingtonby guitarist Isaac Brock, drummer Jeremiah Greenand bassist Eric Judy. Since being signed to Sony's Epic Records in 2000, the band has attained significant popular success. Brock came up with the name "Modest Mouse" when he read the Virginia Woolfstream of consciousness essay The Mark On the Wallin which the author described the working middle class as "modest, mouse-coloured people." Brock frequently moved around with his mother when he was a child. Around this time, his mother left his father for his father's brother (Brock's uncle).

All Night Diner Lyrics
Modest Mouse
Yeah, yes, yes
Have I told ya
You could really get it on?
I was at an all night diner
The sign said, triple x
But they were talking about root beer
Im just sitting down
Thinking about nothing
Looking at the thin air
Breathing up the oxygen
Have I told ya
You could really get it on?
A guy comes up, looking pretty 8-ball
Snaggletooth smile, sits down at my table
Puts his arm around me, starts to share his information
He said, he said, he said [x4] this is what he said
I have sex, Im always thinking about the pavement
So I can avoid premature ejaculation
I got up, remembering to thank him
Better things to do so Ill start drinking
Im in tahoka, now Im gonna hook up
With the parties, unfortunately
No one has any ideas, damn
Have I told ya
You could really get it on?
