sing us your favorite tune

the Futureheads :: First Day

I just started a new job. It’s wonderful and a job that I’ve been wanting for a long time now (or at least since graduating from library school). Anyway, I’m much less cynical than this song relates about my new job (and way less innocent about office work), but I still love it and have had it stuck in my head the last couple of weeks. First, I love songs that speed up in the middle. Second, they have great vocal melodies. Third, and most important, when Barry Hyde sings “Lucky, lucky, lucky on your first day” with his accent, I like to pretend that he’s singing it directly to me (since, in essence, he’s singing my last name). Fourth, but also important, it rocks.

I still haven’t listened to their latest, but I have a feeling I wouldn’t like it as much as this album. Oh well, I’m too busy now to care.
