A song that came into my consciences as a boy watching The Adventures of Pete and Pete on Nickelodeon. A show that introduced me to so many artists that became crucial to my taste in music (The 6ths, Polaris/Miracle Legion/Mark Mulcahy, The Magnetic Fields...). it's an incredibly lovely and fun song, dripping in cruel lyrics. I'll never grow tired of it's production. When recording I decided I would put literally none of my own touches on it. It works perfectly well as is.
