Tim: Nice song, lovely lyric video. Interested?
Tom: It’d be terrible for our format if I said no.
Tim: Fair point. Here it is.
Tim: I say lovely lyric video, and it’s certainly one of the most interesting ones I’ve seen, but, damn, the way that there are five spoken “oh”s and only four pictured really, really irritates me. And it gets annoyingly repetitive towards the end. But still, interesting.
Tom: Ha! I’m not the only one that spotted that.
Tim: And nice music as well.
Tom: I’m now going to ruin it for you.
Tim: Oh, do you have to?
Tom: There’s a bizarre “uh” sample just before the third beat in the bar, almost all the way through the song. And now I’ve pointed it out to you, it’s all you’ll hear. “We mess UHH all the time. Tonight we’ll UHH it right.”
Tim: OH GOD YOU’RE RIGHT. It’s as if someone with a kazoo was hiding out in the corner of the recording studio. OH I HATE YOU YOU KNOB. But anyway, it’s not a track that’ll go down in history as one of the greats, but listening to it in comparison to yesterday’s fairly awful number, and even with that repeated noise, it sounds absolutely divine.
Tom: See, this is where we disagree. This has some good parts: that timpani hits are great. But honestly? I prefer the lipstick, and the lack of groaning samples.
Tim: Ugh.
