If I Were you
I wouldn’t dance if I were you
I wouldn’t shake my body senseless
I wouldn’t stomp my feet
I wouldn’t clap my hands
I wouldn’t dance all day if I were you
I wouldn’t laugh if I were you
I wouldn’t fall on the floor
I wouldn’t slap my thighs
I wouldn’t shout for more
I wouldn’t laugh all day if I were you
She wanted to see
My recording contract
Said it acted
As an aphrodisiac
I wouldn’t talk if I were you
I wouldn’t wag my tongue
I wouldn’t breath
I wouldn’t make a sound
I wouldn’t talk if I were you
She's got pepper in her smile
She got hips like California
She's so high
Like no one ever warned her
I used to love a girl
She don't exist
I bet all I had
On her ruby red roulette kiss

This is wonderful! A noisy indie vaudevillian spaghetti western song cycle played partially on brilliant and bizarre homemade instruments, set in an imaginary place called Wowtown. It's every bit as fascinating and compelling as that garbled description indicates. Like The Wedding Present recording a Phil Spector tribute in Ennio Morricone's studio on Mars 🙂

Nothing not to love about the jangly sounds of the Vovos, who blend catchy melodies with whip smart lyrics.
