What is the name of the song performed by the fictional band Hep Alien at weddings?

The story behind the answer

Hep Alien performs The Shins' “Caring Is Creepy” at weddings in Gilmore Girls. The song is associated with the band's live performances and their alternative-rock repertoire.

Hep Alien is Lane Kim's band, with Lane playing drums and Zack Van Gerbig serving as a principal guitarist and vocalist. Brian Fuller and Gil also contribute to the group's lineup at different points in the series.

The title can be confused with other songs performed or referenced in the show, especially because Gilmore Girls uses a large amount of popular music. “Caring Is Creepy” was originally recorded by the American indie-rock band The Shins and appeared on their 2001 debut album, Oh, Inverted World.
