"New Age Girl" was Deadeye Dick's first single, out in June 1994 from the trio's debut album, and it started with a riff Caleb Guillotte dreamed up in the shower. He wrote the whole thing, a cheeky portrait of Mary Moon, a socially conscious vegetarian, and Fred LeBlanc produced it.
A cassette demo with four other songs turned it into a local radio hit and got the band signed to Ichiban; Clive Davis at Arista came calling afterwards wanting to re-record it, and they turned him down. Then Dumb and Dumber put it on its soundtrack, the song spread far past home, and by January 1995 it had climbed to number 27 on the Billboard Hot 100, the only top-40 hit they ever had.
