Bad Geckos – This Time

“No spoilers for this song out of Norway; just press play.”

Tim: No spoilers for this song out of Norway; just press play.

Tom: I’d already written the words “I’ve heard that introduction before” (as a later part of Primadonna Girl by Marina and the Diamonds, incidentally) but then I heard the first line of the first verse and burst out laughing.

Tim: Fun, isn’t it? Question is, of course, whether or not this has anything about it to rely on beyond the immediate shock value of that line, and happily I’ll say yes.

Sure, it’s still the most memorable part of the song, but we’ve also got a really good dance tune underneath it, with a nicely banging post-chorus, and to cap it all off we’ve the message that, let’s face it, is a pretty easy to approve of. Nice.

Tom: I am all in favour of unconventional, sex-positive, honest messages in songs. Sure, I’m not going to actually add this to a playlist, but I’m glad it exists.
