You Come and Go Like a Pop Song is an album by The Bicycle Thief, released in 1999 and re-released with a different track listing in 2001.
The Bicycle Thief's main song writing is done by frontman Bob Forrest, singer for LA band Thelonious Monster and occasional collaborator of former Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist John Frusciante. Forrest is mentioned in Anthony Kiedis's "Scar Tissue", but briefly. Josh Klinghoffer (later to play in Red Hot Chili Peppers and Dot Hacker) plays a major role, contributing drums, guitars, keyboards, and songwriting to the album.
Frusciante appears on "Cereal Song" as a guitarist. Additional musicians, songwriters, and producers for the album include Josh Blum, Kevin Fitzgerald, and Marc Hunter.
Bob is now a radio host, streaming at www.indie1031.com, as well as a drug counselor in California.
The album's title may have come from a lyric in Ani DiFranco's song "Gratitude": "But I don't come and go like a pop song/that you can play incessantly and then forget when it's gone."
For the 2001 re-release of the album, the track listing was completely changed, the tracks "It's Alright" and "Rhonda Meets the Birdman" were replaced with "Song for a Kevin Spacey Movie" and "Trust Fund Girl", and "Aspirations" was renamed to "Stoned".
"Stoned" (called "Aspirations" on the album's first release) was released as a single in 2001 around the same time as the re-release of the album.
