"Someone Who's Cool" kicked off Nest, the fourth album from Canada's Odds, released on Elektra in 1996, and it started life as a song written for the Friends soundtrack. As the lead single it climbed to number two on Canada's RPM 100 Hit Tracks chart and three on the RPM Alternative 30, and it found American ears too, reaching six on Billboard's Triple-A chart and 20 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100.
Curtis Wehrfritz directed the video, which was up for Best Video at the 1997 Juno Awards, and the song later landed another television job as the theme for Love Monkey, a short-lived CBS comedy about the music industry.
