Roll Over Jerry Lewis
Okay, this is too cool for words. Our friends The Lemon Twigs just made the cover of Rolling Stone -- the Gallic edition!!!
And while you're letting that sink in, here's the kids' latest song. Tres formidable, n'est-ce pas?
Now the only real question is how do you say "Gonna send five copies to my mother" in French?
According to Google, it's:
ReplyDeleteJe vais envoyer cinq exemplaires à ma mère
... you're welcome!
And in French it rhymes!!!!!😎
ReplyDeletean enjoyable song
ReplyDeleteuntil today the many international editions of rolling stone magazine had not come to my attention
je ne suis pas au courant depuis plusieurs décennies
Was somewhat concerned that the Twigs had semi-derailed themselves with the still likable, but more-subdued A Dream Is All We Know release last year.
ReplyDeleteHot puppies, Batman... my worries have evaporated like the morning dew.
The Twigs may be the best thing I've heard this century.
Roll over, Tony Burrows! Not what I would call Power Pop, but very enjoyable as Sunshine Pop.
ReplyDeleteGreat song! Sounds like they were channeling Brian Wilson for this one.
