Pet Your Friends

Pet Your Friends is an album by the alternative rock band Dishwalla. It was released in 1995 on A&M Records. The album produced the hit single "Couting Blue Cars" (the third single off the album and only one to gain widespread success), which was a Top 40 favorite. However, the song also caused the group to gain somewhat of a one-hit wonder status because of it. Still, the album's fourth single, "Charlie Brown's Parents", was quite popular at concerts, although it was not a very successful single in terms of sales.
