You’re The Fishy Queen

Starlight Mints “Submarine #3” – What do I say about this song that Eppy hasn’t already said, better than I probably could? He’s right on about the technical aspects of the song; but what endears this song to me is mostly how the guy sings “what can I do? what do we do?” and “if you pull me apart, don’t swallow my heart” with this kind of cheerful, well-adjusted resignation. He’s not miserable, but he doesn’t know what to do about this, and all he asks is that this girl doesn’t hurt him too badly. He knows what’s coming, he just wants mercy. (It is definitely possible that I’m projecting way to much on a song with a silly psychedelic aquatic theme.) Also: you’ve just gotta love how he sings the phrase “holy Shazam!” like a lovelorn Billy Batson in the first verse.

Tommy Roe “Dizzy” – Highly addictive bubblegum, basically. Pop song crack. Put it on repeat and let it melt your brain, in a good way.
