The Lovely Eggs - Don't Look At Me (I Don't Like It)

I adore The Lovely Eggs from the bottom of my black heart, though if you were to ask me what they were singing about I would have to blank you. Politely, of course, with my best attempt at charm, but you'd still notice. Sorry.

I think Don't Look At Me (I Don't Like It) might be all about people who appear on Scorn TV and get mocked - him with his wheelchair heart, her with her washing line smile. They amuse us because we are sophisticated enough to feel superior to them. Desperate, ridiculous people who are only there to be mocked. But enough is enough. Just stop staring at them; it's not a fucking zoo, people. While you're at it, stop staring at Holly Egg too, she doesn't like it.

Alternatively, it might just be a lo-fi nursery rhyme for our times. Maddeningly catchy, thillingly distorted and taken from the 2011 album Cob Dominos. It's not too late to find some space in your life for the loveliest of all noise-punk-pop husband and wife duos.
