2021 Contenders: Extreme Earworm Alert!


If you're looking for the best new band of 2021, it's time to call off the search.

I first heard this on Thursday evening. I've listened to nothing else all weekend.

They're from the Isle of Wight.

  1. Annoyingly catchy. Is that a definition of an earworm?

  2. what is most annoying is that the first 5 seconds are the start of another track and It's driving me nuts trying to remember what it is!

    1. It definitely owes a debt to Da Da Da by Trio, if that's what you're thinking of, Sarah.

    2. Those first few seconds also seem to evolve into Jonathan Richman & the Modern Lovers 'Roadrunner' in my head. I can imagine a weird mash-up.

  3. A fun song, especially if you know about buttering someone's muffins. :)

    1. That section is stolen from the film Mean Girls.

    2. Many years back there was a rap/hip hop band who did a song called "Let Me Butter Your Muffins". Can't remember the name of the band - maybe I imagined it?

  4. Definitely an earworm - have been hearing it a lot on 6Music during my working day and it really gets in there. It's very "now" somehow. And I love that line "would you like me to assign someone to worry your mother?"

  5. This has had a few plays on 6Music. When I first heard it I thought "Hmm", but the more you listen to it, the more it goes in.
    It's a goodun innit

  7. Mrs. LTL says she heard this one on KEXP here in Seattle the other day. Sounds like it’s making the rounds. Good news.
