Ross: I'm sure folks at the Caf é Carlyle have been singing along. Having a good sense of humor about it, knowing "Oh my gosh! That was from the nineties!" But also people are in the room singing it now. And I have other friends who embrace it, and also move forward and play their current music - those are the people that I look to. Loeb: I know artists who have had popular one-off songs, and they're kind of angry about it and don't want to play it. Ross: Does it irritate you to be defined by one hit song? And I do that too with other parents who happen to be actors or musicians. And I realized some of the parents were being bashful. But I could also see that people made such a connection, they had tears in their eyes.

I have a good sense of humor about it - even in the movie Hot Tub Time Machine 2 Craig changed all the lyrics. Loeb: I have actually! Well, once I was at a karaoke bar and a gal said to me, "You have these glasses, you should sing 'Stay.'"She didn't know who I was! But I didn't do it.Īnd then recently my daughter's school had a karaoke event. One of the moms put my song on, I went right over with her and we did a huge duet. Ross: Have you ever been asked to do karaoke to your own song?

But the cool part was that he had this great concept, it was very unusual compared to what was on TV at the time. And I think the record company wanted to make the video because a movie star was directing it. He came up with the concept of a one-take video. Loeb: The video was shot in a loft, and Ethan Hawke directed it. In retrospect, it was a pretty innovative video. Ross: I remember watching you on MTV when I was a kid. It's fun when I sing "Stay" live, it feels meta - a song within a song within a song. When I was writing it, we were joking how songs that are about having your song on the radio end up being played on the radio. Ross: Did the irony escape you that the song was about being on the radio? Then all of a sudden, I was in the company of pop stars. I was previously in a band in New York City as a singer-songwriter playing clubs. I started getting fan letters saying "I love R.Kelly, Mariah Carey and you." It was such weird company to be in. Ross: It's an incredibly rare thing to be the zeitgeist of popular culture. A radio station in Houston started playing the song, and it ended up going to number one. RCA decided to put the song onto the soundtrack. Later on, they saw me play at The Wetlands and put my song in the movie Reality Bites. So Ethan asked for a cassette tape of my song, and passed that onto Ben Stiller.
