The Drums
It’s just all too perfect really. American’s have been going on about how great it is to have a black dude running the country and are bound together by a sense of hope and overwhelming happiness (besides FOX news viewers) so it was only a matter of time before music got all sunny again. It seems like New York duo The Drums, have come out of this crazy mess of feel goodery with one of the catchiest songs of the year. Who can even tell if it’s good?
“Obama, I wanna go surfing”? Yeah really, that’s the chorus lyric from their track “Let’s Go Surfing”. Could these guys be any happier? Not to the mention the whistling part and simple bright guitar riff. The whole song song can be stuck in your head at once, different parts overlapping and causing you to really question your carefully constructed taste in music. I’m sure after it’s been picked up to be played to death on the airwaves and in malls all over the country I will tire of its innocent charms but I’ll probably still be whistling along. Don’t hate me.
