This super-catchy pop hit tends to get stuck in my head whenever I hear it. The Rejects performed "Swing, Swing" and "Gives You Hell" Monday night on "Jimmy Kimmel Live." Frankly, I've heard the Rejects give much better performances of both songs, particularly "Swing, Swing," but that didn't stop the song from wedging itself in my gray matter. That's that insidiously catchy. -BAM
