- I feel like Liz Phair’s Liz Phair is the reason why this sort of thing exists?
- Like, Lana Del Rey is just “H.W.C.” in human form.
- And also basically a year-long version of “Santa Baby.”
- But, like, the songs aren’t bad?
- If you look past the stupid lyrics.
- And also the stupid vocals.
- It’s aurally manipulative, in a way. It is tricking my ears into liking it.
- (My ears are idiots.)
- I sort of just expect, after six listens to “National Anthem,” for this song to just devolve into the sounds of a baby cooing.
- “Me sexy baby! Ga ga!”
- Oh shit, we’re on to something.
NAILED IT.
