Tim: Eric’s back with some new music; here it is, and a rather jolly track too.
Tom: Oh, that tin-whistle intro put me off so much.
Tim: Really? Well, I guess it could be a bit divisive, but otherwise, isn’t it? Often, the first half of that chorus would be considered enough, and many artists would be tempted to leave it there and move on after the “go ahead”s. But NO, instead we get a full on jump around section after that, or at least if you don’t want to jump around you at least have to drum your hands on the table because it’s mostly brilliant.
Tom: I’ll admit that, yes, the chorus worked very well for me – and “air” is a damn good word to repeat like that, but you can basically just yell and it’ll sound okay.
Tim: My one niggle with it that the naughty word sticks out a bit, especially with the whistling afterwards, which to me makes it seem like a little kid who knows he’s done something wrong but is trying his best to look all innocent, and doesn’t work so well.
Tom: I think that might be a cultural thing; if you’re not a native English speaker it doesn’t stand out so much. Remember the original version of Cliche Love Song?
Tim: Yes, I suppose. And that aside it’s all great, so like I said, BRILLIANT.
