"I bet that you look good on the dancefloor
I don't know if you're looking for romance or
I don't know what you're looking for
I said, I bet that you look good on the dancefloor
Dancing to electro-pop like a robot from 1984
From 1984!"

What were you saying liquid diamonds???!!!

really deep stuff huh

 

[amaranth]

Well, that was my thinking!

 

[Liquid Diamonds]

I think that's a great hook-line. I love it when a band can translate the real events of average lives into witty, funny songs. Pulp did it, now Arctic Monkeys do it. Simple.
Although, When The Sun Goes down probably has better words.

I know what a lot of us who haven't heard these guys are thinking:
"They're pop, therefore they must be shit"

 

[amaranth]

^That's mean

honestly, i'm not impressed at all by those lyrics. I can think of at least 10 alternative bands with wittier stuff.

boo hoo

I can definately see why that would seem unimpressive:

1. It's out of context.
2. It's quite rhythmic, so to hear it set to music improves it.
3. It's the chorus, so it hasn't quite got the same lyrical appeal as the rest. that's not what the chorus is for.
4. Not one of their better lyrics anyway.
5. I, unlike you most likely, had that song stuck in my head for two weeks, so I have a soft spot for it. It's INSANELY catchy...

 

[amaranth]

Nice defense Liquid Diamonds... however, you'll find that whoever the lyracist is probably thinks that the chorus is the best sounding words, hence the repitition

 

[chomps]

Butterfingers are better.

 

[Kenneth R.]

oh i understand. but there are bands for which even the chorus is amazing, and still maintain the catchiness.

Exhibit A: Dredg

 

[chomps]

Agreed. Dredg pwnz

 

[Liquid Diamonds]

Dredg does indeed pwn.
But I don't like them any more than I like Arctic Monkeys. I really do think Arctic Monkeys are great.

 

[dcat]

Agreed. Dredg pwnz

what is this dredg

 

[chomps]

an awesome band. Don't really know who to compare it to. It's kinda experimental poppy rocky stuff....
