Operator Please

Just A Song About Ping Pong

Well, it’s not, is it? A song about table tennis would consist of rhythmic thwacking and the sound of a bored referee shouting scores. It wouldn’t sound like a biker gang made up of Beth Dittos and Regina Spektors on industrial-strength trucker speed and go “With a dirtydirtydirtydirty look on your face/I bet you know beef jerky has an aftertaste”. No, your rampant debut single is about shagging. More please.

Nice one maate... this sounds like 5 year olds that have spent far too much money in Blue Banana and are high on magic mushrooms and blue smarties. It's a bit like being on Lsd... you see a lot of pretty colours, feel very very cool and good and all that, then end up with a banging headache. But still want to do it again. Like it. Hate it. Love it. After all, it's just a song about... shagging.
