Fountains of Wayne - Stacy's Mom
Music Appreciation
First of all, supermodel Rachel Hunter looks amazing in Fountains of Wayne's 2003 music video Stacy's Mom. At 34, she showed the world that soccer moms can indeed be HOT.
But this entry isn't about Rachel Hunter. It's about the American rock band, Fountains of Wayne.
Fountains of Wayne, which consist of Chris Collingwood, Adam Schlesinger, Jody Porter, and Brian Young, formed in New York City in 1996. Their song, Stacy's Mom, was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Vocal Pop Performance in 2004, and ranked No. 88 on VH1's 100 Greatest Songs of the '00s.
The music video, which features the amazing Rachel Hunter in a bikini, was directed by Chris Applebaum.
