Song: Henrietta
Artist: The Fratellis
Album: Costello Music
Genre: Rock/Indie
You probably heard of this band before. Their song “Flathead” was featured in a recent iPod commercial. Say what you will about Apple and iPods, you can’t deny the fact that they choose great music for their commercials. Personally, they remind me of Scissors Sisters and a little bit of Franz Ferdinand, but the Fratellis have also drawn comparisons to The Libertines and The Ramones (although that is mainly for adopting the same last name).
Like “Flathead”, “Henrietta” is just one of those get-up-and-dance-stupid songs. Totally upbeat and quirky and happy! I love happy music. Just ignore the fact that the song is supposedly about an older woman stalker. I think I'm usually better off being completely oblivious to what songs are talking about anyways. I mean the lyrics in the middle become totally nonsensical (Wah-wah-wah-WAHHHH and Shing-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling, anyone?) It’s like the musical equivalent to those times when you are so excited you can’t think coherent thoughts and all you can do is babble.
These are craaaaazy times.
