Jibboom Street Bridge
Posted December 4, 2012, by Chuck and Cake Fan

If you are a fan of the TV series, Chuck, you will know that the theme is the instrumental version of Cake's Short Skirt/Long Jacket. In the video for their original song Cake members ask the California general public their opinion on the song. At 2:15 of the video one can see a bridge in the background. It is this bridge in Sacramento. And now you see how everything is related.
