    Yeah, me too. First thing I thought when I saw the video and heard the song was Geez, why can’t Matchbox 20 do more things like this? Thomas wrote Smooth for his wife. Check out the Wiki page for it.

    The girl in the video is Rob’s model wife, Marisol Maldonado.

    Yeah, this song made me pay more attention to Rob Thomas.

    That’s one hot song.
