I can get into any DMB song, but Bismarck has just never impressed me all that much. Maybe I'm the only one on this website who feels this way.

Interesting, and fair enough. I don’t think it’s like a 25 DMB song like some people on here, but I also think it’s better than stuff like Smooth Rider, Be Yourself, Can’t Stop, etc.
For me, the lyrics tell a nice story and aren’t lazy. The chorus is pretty strong/catchy for a newer era Dave song too. And there’s a nice Roi-like sax jam at the end.
