Tim: A self-described ‘cockney songbird’, here, and quite a nice lyric video.
Tom: There are going to be so many glottal stops, aren’t there?
Tim: Actually no, but a quick heads-up: from now on, my side of this will focus almost entirely on the ambiguous meaning of the main chorus line.
Tim: Well, I think a quick “that’s what she said” is most definitely in order.
Tom: If only the song were as quick. If you’re going to base your whole chorus on one pair of lines, then you’d better make sure they’re bloody amazing. Which, let’s be honest, they’re not. Even the gorgeous animation in the lyric video couldn’t keep my interest. “Come on the double”. Hurr.
Tim: But on the double what? That’s the real question. Double cheeseburger? Double bed? Double entendre, which is probably the most appropriate even if it is just a linguistic construct rather than a physical object. I’m going to go with ‘double cream’ just to keep the vibe going.
Tom: Messy.
Tim: But enough nonsense. I actually think this song’s alright, albeit occasionally slightly dull. I’d say it could be improved by putting a quick ‘here’ in the chorus line before ‘on’, but then I wouldn’t be able to make childish sniggering noises while listening to it so it’s actually fine as it is.
