How to make friends and influence people
Terrible, but in a good way.
Here we have a subtle blend of Rocky Horror, New Wavin' foot up on the piano keys type-thing and Roy Orbison on prescription uppers and cider thrown into a toga party atmosphere.
And ain't the drummer having fun?
Gotta give points for the backing vocals because I get the feeling they're offering more than the usual 'doo-wah's, even if they're not. It's hard to say whether they're out of sync with the singer but not the band or whether the lead singer's just in a place of his own. But whatever, it's all going in the same direction.
Somehow 2 minutes 14 is too short. Perhaps that's trickery.
I'd like a lyric sheet because I think I'm missing a few gems, but I'm getting the general tone from lines like 'very kind and oh so nice...quite mellow'. It could've been oh such a terrible day, but it wasn't at all. Life's full of surprises.
So, terrible but in a throroughly likeable way.
