Tipsy - Tuatara

Tipsy's music is what you get when you mix 60's bubble gum lounge with experimentalism, electronica, and random sound effects. :D

Because it's only listened to by middle class white kids and the irony is unbearable?



as a middle class white kid I have to say I really enjoy the song

Irony in usage is a tradition in songs that mean something. For example, "Good Riddance"(which you probably know better as "Time of your Life", but that's the actual name of the song), a song Billie Joe wrote after his girlfriend went to Argentina or such and essentially containing the message "fuck you", being played at weddings, and the fact that at Rage concerts the last line of "Killing in the Name"(which is "Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me") being chanted by the audience, to the classic example of the not-really-irony in "Ironic".

I'm alternately listening to Elvis Costello singing Suit of Lights and my own rendition of it.
One of these days my desk is going to collapse in the middle and all its weight will come down on my knee and tear my new fake ACL. It could be tomorrow. This is my concern.
