Tuesday Twee
A little behind on my movie-watching, but enjoy this goofy-ass bit of twee from The Housemartins.
Is there any finer practitioner of the form than Paul Heaton? I'd be hard-pressed to think of one.
I've been trying to think of an exact American equivalent of twee and I can't come up with one.

And a lot of twee bands, although watching Fleet Foxes on SNL the other week, obviously not a monopoly.
