I'd be lying if I said I had gotten Ben's Brother- "Stuttering" out of my head today. I mean it's the catchiest song I've heard in a long while so here is what I wrote about it this morning:
but the reason I especially like the commercial is because of the song, which has the best use of stuttering in any song outside of Roger Daltrey in My Generation, and I was immediately drawn to.
So I did a little research and found out the song is by Ben's Brother and is called, appropriately enough, Stuttering:
It's been, it's been, it's been, it's been
su-su-such a long time, long time, long time
since anybody touched me, touched me, touched me
the way that you touch me
So if I stutter, stutter, stutter
and I feel so so so unsexy
so maybe I'll just keep my mouth shut at least until you kiss me
[Chorus:]
So kiss me again
Cause only you can stop this stut-stut-stut-stuttering
Kiss me again
And ease my su-su su-su su-su su-su-su- suffering
[Verse 2:]
I know I know
it's sy it's sy-sy-symbolic of everything
Everything that's wrong with me and you
So tell me what I'm supposed to do
Oh it's been ages since we've been really honest
but I can make ch-ch-ch-changes if you really want this
[Chorus]
So kiss me again
Cause only you can stop this stut-stut-stut-stuttering
Kiss me again
And ease my *su-su su-su su-su su-su-su- suffering
Aww. It's such a regular song structure and normal (for me) and kind of reminds me of the mid to late 90s rock vibe, but it's so cute and romantic and awesome and I love it. I kind of don't want to hear any of their other stuff for fear that this image of have of them was merely an aberration. But don't let me stop you.

The more I listened to them the more I decided they could be around for awhile. So get in on the ground floor. Here's a fan video:
Though another song did come to mind today, in a very roundabout way. I had The (International) Noise Conspiracy's "I Wanna Know About U" in my head since yesterday but I couldn't find a video for it, so, out of necessity and because the songs kind of sound the same after watching their video for Smash It Up that became Your (other) Stuck in My Head Song of the Day
I love proletariat chic. And I've decided I really want to find a place where I can find out what flashes on those signs, because I'm lazy and don't want to pause the video every two seconds. But the lyrics are straight truth; peep knowledge:
I want to smash it up for all the workers who spent hours into nothing
I want to smash it up for all my sisters who got caught up in this funky system
I want to smash it up just like a locust, like a satellite shooting rockets
I want to smash it up in every way I can, right now I think I want to be your man
smash it up yeah, when I'm down
I want to smash it up for all the kids who, who got fucked up just like their parents did
I want to smash it up, the gods and masters who made us die so much faster
yeah yeah, you know I wanna smash it up
yeah yeah, you know we gotta smash it up
yeah yeah, common pretty smash it up
everybody right now, common everyone
smash it up yeah, when I'm down
I want to smash it up for all the people and for our right to be, to be treated equal
I want to smash it up for all my friends, I hope you stick around until the very end
yeah yeah, you know I wanna smash it up
yeah yeah, you know we gotta smash it up
yeah yeah, everybody wants to smash it up
common everyone right now, yeah
smash it up yeah, when I'm down, yeah
I wanna smash it up
Damn right. We all should want to smash it up. Anyway since they are revolutionaries, I doubt that they can get too upset about me sharing the song with y'all.
