Clap your hands if you want some more. Clap your hands if you want some more.

That video is awesome, isn't it. Beware brief nudity.

Its great that they (their record label) have some of their videos on the band's page.

They're not all as intensely dance-able as Pull Shapes, but they're a lot of fun. Dangerously catchy melodies.... I think I've had all of the tunes stuck in my head at some point

Their lyrics are fun too:

"He knows all about the movements of the planets

But he don't know how to move me

He knows about the sonic spectrum, dammit

But he don't know if it's groovy"

I can't get enough of Dirty Mind, either.

Also recommended songs (not on the album), if you can find them...

I Like a Boy in Uniform (School Uniform)

Sample lyrics:

"Well, I walked past him and I gave him a wink... He must think I am sexually impertinent!"

Guess Who Ran Away with the Milkman?

A gorgeously catchy tune, I don't know why it wasnt on the album.

Magician Man

Not quite as good as the rest, but interesting spoken lyrics and harmonies.

The Burning Ambition of the Early Diuretics

That title alone....

Kitchen Sink

Terible recording quality, but fun. "Tie me, tie me, tie me to the kitchen sink... Why? Cuz I love him!"

KFC

Hard to describe... The girls and their backing band the Casettes sit around outside somewhere and make fun of British Kentucky-Fried Chicken customers with a made-up a capella song.

Not really, no... They're 'indie" music. Here in America it's the same crap on the pop radio stations, as always. <_<
