FOUNTAINS OF WAYNE "STACY'S MOM"


The group Fountains of Wayne was formed by songwriters Adam Schlesinger and Chris Collingwood. The two first met as freshmen at Williams College and began playing music together in various bands. They eventually went their separate ways, with Collingwood forming the Mercy Buckets in Boston and Schlesinger forming Ivy in New York City. The two met up once again during the mid-1990s and formed Fountains of Wayne.
Initially the band went by other names, including Are You My Mother? and Woolly Mammoth, before settling on Fountains of Wayne, taken from alawn ornament store in WayneNew Jersey. The store was located at the intersection of U.S. Route 46 and New Jersey Route 23, not far fromMontclair, New Jersey, the hometown of the band's bassist and co-founder Adam Schlesinger. The store can be seen in The Sopranos episode "Another Toothpick" but eventually went out of business in 2009.
