“Kids” by MGMT

14 Sep

I’ll admit I’m maybe not the most musically literate, at least when it comes to what things are called, musically.  Regardless, in this case, I think it’s a phrase.  I can’t even describe it (the best I can do is “doot-d00t-doot-doot-doot-doot-doot-doot-dooooooooooo-doooooooot,” which isn’t helping anyone).  But you know what I’m talking about.  It’s the earworm that puts other earworms to shame.  It’s like it came out of a fucking egg, this thing.  Add that to the MDMA-cognizant “EEEEEEEE” emphasis and the lyrics that maybe mean a lot but also maybe mean nothing, and you have a song that’ll be on permanent loop once the Alzheimer’s hits.  And probably long before that.
