In case you haven't seen the show (and a certain Shady Dame of my acquaintance turned me on to it just last week) TAP is a sort of black comedy murder mystery set at a high school reunion (class of 2015) in Marin County. Each episode has a different character arc and a different visual and dramatic style (to my knowledge, the episode from whence the above song derives is the only one with a big musical number).
In any event, it's quite brilliantly written and often fall off your couch funny (it's worth seeing for the first episode Hall and Oates gag alone), although I should add that if -- like me -- you're not particularly nostalgic for your high school years, you may also find it a bit creepy and uncomfortably close to the bone.
In any event, "Yeah Sure Whatever" has had me singing it in the shower for several days now; if it isn't a fab gear example of contemporary power pop I don't know what is.
Oh, and the series is on Apple TV, for those who have.
"They'll make a sequel to A Star Is Born starring me!"
Heh. Yeah sure, pal -- whatever.

Testing…testing…is this thing on?
Yes, it's on. Er, uh, I don't think I'll watch the show.
I might give Andress another listen on the Anthem.
Heh
