Hi Tasha

I couldn’t agree more. In fact, 99% of the time I couldn’t give two hoots about the lyrics, since I listen to music for, well, the music (Bob Dylan: boo! My Bloody Valentine: yay!).

The remaining 1% arises when the lyrics are so annoyingly trivial and schoolyard that I can’t even get past them to hear the music. Still, in Operator Please’s case, those qualities should get them a high-placing song in ’07’s Hottest 100. Novelty songs always do well in the H100.

BTW, in case the above sounds like a not so random attack from an OP “hater”, I should say that I quite like “Zero Zero”. Reminds me a bit of the more tolerable aspects of the B-52s.

Oh, love the blog, too.

Cheers
rob

i didn’t want to do this rob…

“It’s just a song/It’s just a song about ping pong”

Yes. Very mature.
