Fun loving retro-pop rockers Hey Geronimo return to Vodka with another top-notch fun track. You may remember Why Don’t We Do Something? from about a year ago, and Carbon Affair from just a few months back. Here, Hey Geronimo captures video footage from the road with a track that doesn’t necessarily fit the video, but is very fun anyway, The Girl Who Likes Me.
