The band is best-known for the song, "Popular" from their 1996 album High/Low. The song reached #11 on the US Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart and propelled the album to #63 on the Billboard 200. Each of the verses in Popular, presents sarcastic good advice to teens and is spoken - initially in a calm, deadpan voice that gradually builds Kinison-style in teen angst and rage.

Neither Heaven Nor Space Lyrics

Nada Surf

So Quiet
It's neither heaven nor space
It's just high
And the ring around the moon
Looks like light and life
Neither of which I
Get enough of down there
Where a lot of people lie in a deep sleep
And months on end go by
In a single week
Down there

But Much too slow
Can't you see im trying so hard
To plug up this hole
The areas running outwards
Sinking much too low

And if you sit long enough
You can hear ghost trains
As if the citys speed
Is just in our brains
And coax as close as we get to sugar cane
Down there

But much too slow
Can't you see I'm trying so hard
To plug up this hole
The areas running outwards
Sinking much too low

So Quiet
It's neither heaven nor space
It's just high
And the ring around the moon
Looks like light and life
Neither of which I
Get enough of
Neither of which I
Get enough of
