While I musically can find this as somewhere between
Beck fronting TMBG or just flat out Tom Petty, what bothers me about it are the
lyrics. There is this line one must
tread lightly when writing songs that ensures the lyrics are easily accessible and can be sung
along to on some level, sure, but you don’t want them to be too cliché or
cheesy.
These lyrics come very close to being the kind of
dumb that you can almost sing along with even if you’re hearing them for the
first time. It’s just that lyrics can be simplistic and
basic on a lot of levels, but these just go above and beyond that, seeming as
if they were written over one drunken period of fifteen minutes or less.
