This song came up in my Amazon feed in my car today, so I came here this evening. This vibe is so cool -and familiar, but new. I love it. I'm 60 -thanks🤗
@@mikemclain2998 A lot of folks our age complain that there isn't any good new music. They just aren't looking in the right places. Top 40 radio does suck.
106? Luxury. When I was 106 I used to dance about and ogle young women. Used to play football and listen to Frank Sinatra. Tell that to the kids today and they won't believe you. Little fuckers.
I’d like to say that in addition to this being a “banger” Wet Leg is demonstrating good sun sense. Wide brimmed hats and light colored clothing are good for combatting skin cancer. Also useful after doing high kicks in tall grass so you can easily check for ticks. Responsible and entertaining.
Absolutely right. The only issue then is, I'm not sure it's safe to dance freely when your hat goes so low that you can't see out from under it. Could trip! : )
I only just discovered this gem on the radio a few minutes ago and instantly loved it. I love the effortlessly cool sound these two have nailed down. Musical Discoveries like this are what i live for.
I’m 220 years old and just about remember reports about the battle of Waterloo in ‘The Times’ and cannot remember a video of Hester’s dancing being so charming, or the brilliance of assigning someone to worry your mother. Keep going.
yeah missed that too, but I caught the news coverage by ABBA. Good old dependable Swedes. AND, more importantly yes, Hester dancing in the background was a major plus
Hearing Wet Leg for the first time the other day reminds me a bit of the first time I heard White Stripes right after they debuted. A stripped-down, straightforward rocking sound, that just works, is amazing, and I can't stop listening to it.
That’s an awesome comparison. Also similar in that they’re a two piece where one seems to be quite happy to be in the spotlight and the other seems quite happy to be a bit out of view.
This has got to be the greatest debut single in years. I can't decide what I like the most.... the hilarious filthy lyrics, the cold detached vocal style, the great bass line, the "excuse me - what" hook, the guitar freak-out... Dammit I love everything about this song. If the rest of the material is anywhere near as good as this then they're going to be massive.
I consider this so radical You Knowing of all their fabulous Names and all//. |:| PEACE. LOVE. RESPECT TRANQUILLITY. TASTEFULNESS ANTICIPATE lotS'. JOOSHKA __):/)D
I adore the combination of restraint and enthusiasm. Chaise Longue is one of the best recordings I've heard in a long time. And the video is flawless..
This is a wonderful alternative music video. I am 134 years old and these women remind me of my aunts who would churn the whatever and make buttermilk pancakes. We all lives in black and white - or more like brown and light brown - like dirt Color. Anyway this is the sort of song we would bang out on our washboards and finey ground donkey food would be grilled on the spittle and give us a nice backing crackle. We had rhyming too. This song is a great work out of mind and body and fearless wit and bravado. My grandson, who is 87, told me they are from Great Britain. I said Why Not! Great song. Nurse I am Done the message post
I’m negative 200 years old (from the future). This song reminds me of a genre from the 2130’s when I used to ride my electric hamster wheel from school to labor camp. Great times, anyway this band and this generation is gonna be just fine
Yes I remember many a fond night in my youth listening to similar hits with Piny the Younger and the crew in Pompeii. Good times. Just goes to show you don’t need all this modern contraptions to make good music like on my day.
My favourite line is "Would you like us to assign someone to worry your mother?" 😂 The whole song is great. Heard it on the radio and enjoyed every second of it. I wish Wet Leg great success.
@@Suzibird307 You’re the one who didn’t understand my comment, obviously. Listen to the song and you’ll finally get it. Please don’t criticize others when you’re the one who’s not quick. Peace
Not gonna lie, I regret skipping over this in my recommended a month ago… finally clicked on it like 4 days ago and I’ve been listening to it every day since! Can’t wait for an album from this band.
Like how everyone acts like this is some revolutionary song. Of all the good bands out there with meaningful lyrics getting overlooked it makes me laugh that this is the “breath of fresh air”
@@bandname Music doesn’t need to have ‘meaningful lyrics’ to be good. Maybe this is a ‘breath of fresh air’ precisely because it doesn’t take itself as seriously as all those songs with ‘meaningful lyrics’? 🤷🏼♂️
I’m loving that video as much as the song. The simplicity, editing, and performing leave no room for improvement. All the little details…bobbing the head, the fast pace walk…a superb first video effort!
They probably had to do many retakes because of Rhian smiling or laughing - which wouldn't fit with her deadpan delivery. At least Hester had that huge bucket hat on, so no one could tell if she was.
Catchy as hell. If there is one thing I notice when listening to their songs, it's that it all sounds so natural recorded compared to what a lot of other bands are doing nowadays. It sounds like a band playing and I love that.
I watched an interview with these two. They knew tgey were writing stupid lyrics and the music is just plain pop. They didn't expect anything from them. They were of a joke than a real attempt at music. They think it's hilarious theve done so well
@@user-bd5md5cm2j They write good pop/indie songs. Reminds me a little of the Breeders. I like it a lot better than modern indie stuff like Portugal the Man or 5SOS which sound overproduced to me.
Its November 3rd, of the year 3019 of the third age. I am a young Ent under treabeard's command assaulting Isengard, we were losing the battle but listening to this song broke the dam and unleashed the river to wipe down our enemies.
This is ridiculously funny because rather than the song giving your troops morale it supernaturally destroyed your enemies in a torrent by merely being played
This fabulous song brings me back to 1969 when i was hanging out with 2 girlfriend's on a farm, this is how they dressed,life was harder ,clothes hand washed and hung out in the freezing cold to dry, 3 tv channels 1 was french, 1971 was when I first saw colour tv and it was a t- fal commercial 😂...we spent most time in winter on frozen bogs skating this was back east maritimes. Ive loved music videos from the very first time watching "nightdreams" i believe....1980 Friday nights .
Reminds me of the time in 1247 i constructed a chaise longue out of buttered muffins. Definitely adding to my 30 thousand song youtube playlist. Very happy that i just celebrated my 804th birthday!
As a fan of hip hop and metal usually, this has to be my favourite track in the last couple of years! Everything about it is great, lyrics, singing, the music, the video, the deadpan expression of the singer (don't know if it's Rhian or Hester) the dancing, the chorus, everything is amazing!!!
I've been listening to music since before all of you were born. I started loving music on the radio in the mid-1950's. Now I'm listening to Wet Leg. And I gotta tell ya. These kids are getting both the video, the lyrics, and the music done right. This is good stuff if you like new innovative music. I'm a old geezer Wet Leg fan.
I've already commented on this, but feel compelled to say that the more I see and hear it, the better it gets. It's a brilliant and joyfully intelligent work of art. The video perfectly embodies and enhances the song.

This absolutely brilliant song was recommended by Simon Le bon (frontman for Duran Duran) on his podcast called Whoosh. He was correct, it’s a great song with a guitar that pins you down and drives its beat. Absolutely stunning it is. ♥️
I am a soldier in Hannibal the Carthage's army in 218 BC, we're dragging elephants up the alps and it looks hauntingly freezing and tiring but listening to this song makes it feel like hiking on a spring morning with a breeze
Wowie, only heard this today. Its got something and the hook is perfect. That base line and guitar drive what sounds like quite a simple song with stabbing lyrics but once you get drawn in you have to hear it again, and again... Best thing I have heard in a long time. Looking forward to hearing the album and live performance which I know will be very interesting.
Hey you might like a band called The Doublejumps if you like Wet Leg. they both deserve way more recognition!! similar vibes and two of my favourite bands right now! ❤
My Niece! yay, ive known her (*obviosly, I known her since she was a wee one) work and seen her gigging a few times over the years, Rhian, proud of you! fantastic, hopefully I can see you play at a festival sometime, maybe book my band as a support act sometime.
I'm a cyanobacteria with 2billion yrs that has just started making my daily yoga photosynthesis exercise providing some oxygen to my friends. This song provides a nice atmosphere.
Listening to 94.7 in Portland, OR. Finally, something new that's original, cool, and humorous without sounding pretentious. I literally just heard this on the radio for the first time. Gives me hope for modern music. They sound great.
"49" in a couple of months. Sheesh!~ If you scroll through, you can read my original comment. But yeah, it's a cool-trendy tune, at the moment. . . That NPR DJ (possibly on "World Caf'e"?), she said she would (paraphrased),"Bake a cake; attend all your Birthday parties; and be your best friend", et cetera - a message to the band, to please release more tracks. She also said that this is literally thee-only release of WET LEG's. I just looked and they put out another song. It's okay; but definitely not as catchy as this here tune. It makes me think of the group AUTOMATIC - whom are drummer Kevin Haskins' (BAUHAUS/ TONES ON TAIL - [now "POPTONE"] / LOVE AND ROCKETS) daughters. They did an excellent cover of Delta 5's "Mind Your Own Business", live. I think it would be a fab opening act on a leg of a US or UK tour.
In my 60s now, I've heard, and seen, my share of great female led bands. It's like all of them rolled together, had a love child and named it Wet Leg. Yay!
@@rednola9892 shit. No wonder it sounded so choppy. I thought I was listening to a whole album of very short songs that all sounded very similar. Thanks to your incredible powers of logic and literal interpretation, I can now enjoy this song as the artist originally intended. Wait...does this means all those short movies on a Blu-ray or DVD main menu aren't sequels?? My God man! You've revolutionized the way I'll watch movies and listen to music from now on! Thank you! Thank you SO MUCH. The world needs more people like you to point out the obvious. Tell me, are you in the military? Captain maybe??
I'm 65 and randomly heard this song the other day, the beat, the swagger, the guitar riff, everything about it is incredible. I'm probably the only 65 year old singing and humming this song in the grocery store and on the golf course, rock on girls.
"I can't stop shaking..." lol...oh man, they are so cute, so endearing, so adorable and just lovely...such funny, sweet, sassy, delightful ladies...I wish them every success in their lives...May nothing but happiness shine through their doors...
Well I've just celebrated my 70th year on the this planet , in that time my music collection has , starting with The Beatles , has grown quite a lot , this sound is the next to add to my collection , brilliant !
It has had a few dry spells. Today's music is littered with really cool music and pop "stars" created by their investors and agents. These girls seem like authentic cool flower child don't give a fuck women (excuse my use of the term "girls ", just bowing down to their youth.
Amazing. I can't believe I've not heard them until Jo Whiley played this. And now it seems everyone knows them Great band and can't wait to see them live. Thank you Wet Leg x
I can't get enough of this track. The vocals are so sly, understated and cool. Then the guitar kicks in and launches the song straight to Mars. "Excuse me... what?" is as indelible as the Who's "Mm mm mm my Generation." It's that memorable! I love this track! "I've got a chaise longue in my dressing room, and a pack of warm beer that we can consume." Oh, I am so there.
Heard this yesterday as debuted on Alt Nation's "Advanced Placement." An absolute earworm, I can't stop playing it and now I can't stop watching it. 🤓🥰 I just followed you on Twitter. 😉 I couldn't agree more when an online magazine described you as, "QUITE CLEARLY THE BEST NEW BAND ON THE PLANET." 👍👏
i'm 63 and was casually listening to the radio when I heard this for the first time. Stopped whatever the mundane thing I was doing, cranked the radio up and have lost count the number of times I've subsequently watched this video. Explored the music and videos much more now and I adore them.
I am a 38 year old dude, and this is one of the catchiest songs I have ever heard in my entire life. I heard it for the first time ever at a New Year's Eve party last night, and it's been stuck in my head all day today.
56 year old lady here and I’ve been obsessed with this song since I randomly heard it on the bbc in Montreal a few weeks ago - it’s the coolest thing ever - has such 80s vibes !
Was in Philly last weekend with my(36) siblings(32)(37) visiting my aunt (71) and her kid(40) and his wife(39) for a Christmas type get together. We did a karaoke and the first song of the night was this as a duet by my cousin and his wife. It really set the spirit for the evening. Got me in the mood to actually sing. So I sang my favorite song. Dirty Diana. It's been my favorite song since I was five years old. Then we ended the night with Bohemian Rhapsody... because... you kinda have to!
Just discovered you guys. I grew up listening to the post punk genre, a long long time ago. Your music is amazing. Checks all the boxes, with a modern twist. Also, no one else sounds like this. Do your thing!
They got lucky... right time and people nowadays seem to go for singers that do fakey accents when performing. If around in the post punk era during the times of Public Image, Siouxie and the Banshees Magazine Simple Minds late 70,s when I was around in that era then I think at best they would be a support act imo 🤘 Sorta like the Mekons
This is why I like KCRW in Los Angeles. You never know what you're gonna get. I'm in my sixties, but not dead yet. Please send someone to butter my muffin and worry my mother. Thanks!
@@melb7502 isnt it great to discover after wading thru all the american idol instrument missing singers the radio is filled promoting, its like theres a new garage rock & punk rock explosion happening the black lips.

News about this song. Many modern rock stations in the US has started adding this song and you will see this enter the Billboard Alternative Songs chart (formerly Modern Rock tracks chart) this week.

These kids are getting both the video, the lyrics, and the music done right. This is good stuff if you like new innovative music. I'm a old geezer Wet Leg fan.
I've already commented on this, but feel compelled to say that the more I see and hear it, the better it gets. It's a brilliant and joyfully intelligent work of art. The video perfectly embodies and enhances the song.
This absolutely brilliant song was recommended by Simon Le bon (frontman for Duran Duran) on his podcast called Whoosh. He was correct, it’s a great song with a guitar that pins you down and drives its beat. Absolutely stunning it is. ♥️
You can tell they're having fun with this record... I love it, definitely going to buy it soon.
This song could've dropped 40 years ago and it would've been an instant new wave classic. That's why I like it!
Agreed!
YES. Offspring of the B-52s.
SAME!!! ~I've been sharing it all over the place because it totally brings me back to the 80s.
Absolutely correct....
It's an updated version of
The 80s song

@@mattsombrano3786 awesome thanks for mentioning
I am a soldier in Hannibal the Carthage's army in 218 BC, we're dragging elephants up the alps and it looks hauntingly freezing and tiring but listening to this song makes it feel like hiking on a spring morning with a breeze
But is your muffin buttered
@@AndreKing4 It takes a lot of Gaul to butter your muffin, specially on top of the Alps with elephants.

@@AndreKing4 I would like you to assign Scipio to butter my muffin

大好きーーーー❤︎❤︎❤︎❤︎❤︎❤︎❤︎❤︎
A work of pure genius. Quirky, catchy and fun. Love it.
Wowie, only heard this today. Its got something and the hook is perfect. That base line and guitar drive what sounds like quite a simple song with stabbing lyrics but once you get drawn in you have to hear it again, and again...
Best thing I have heard in a long time. Looking forward to hearing the album and live performance which I know will be very interesting.
I come from the year 2234 where Wetleg are considered retro classical. People still listen to it streamed. How quaint.
Hey you might like a band called The Doublejumps if you like Wet Leg. they both deserve way more recognition!! similar vibes and two of my favourite bands right now! ❤
My Niece! yay, ive known her (*obviosly, I known her since she was a wee one) work and seen her gigging a few times over the years, Rhian, proud of you! fantastic, hopefully I can see you play at a festival sometime, maybe book my band as a support act sometime.
I heard her on Radio 6 today. I love this song.
I heard her today myself!! Absolutely IN Love with It and her! SO much Fun!!
I see she's playing Latitude. Hope to catch her there
She's awesome, we had her play at the record shop I help out at a few years back, that was great but this is next level!
My girlfriend loves this too 😎
I'm a cyanobacteria with 2billion yrs that has just started making my daily yoga photosynthesis exercise providing some oxygen to my friends. This song provides a nice atmosphere.

Listening to 94.7 in Portland, OR. Finally, something new that's original, cool, and humorous without sounding pretentious. I literally just heard this on the radio for the first time. Gives me hope for modern music. They sound great.
Real Music!!! I love this discovery. Graduated high school in 1989 and this is past, present and future all at once.
God bless BBC6 for throwing so much great new music our way. This is the single of the year, I think
I heard it first as Jo Whiley's "obsession" (i.e. record of the week) on her Radio 2 show
@@coolVicar My brother turned me on to it after HE heard it on her show!
Jo Wiley, I salute U 🤩
Been hearing it for the last week and so on 6 music, and it’s been growing on me, excellent song, can’t wait for more
@@coolVicar Jo Wiley isn't that great
@@coolVicar same!
Can't stop listening to all kinds of recordings of this... pre-ordered the album, what else can I do? This is just so effing brilliant.
I love this. I'm 57 and always loved alternative music. This makes me laugh.
Same here on age. I was laughing (in a good way) when I heard it. I am hooked!
@@jmccuanu2 Perhaps it's a 1964 thing. I can't stop playing this :D
Same here! 51 and this is incredible...best song in years!!
"49" in a couple of months. Sheesh!~
If you scroll through, you can read my original comment.
But yeah, it's a cool-trendy tune, at the moment. . .
That NPR DJ (possibly on "World Caf'e"?), she said she would (paraphrased),"Bake a cake; attend all your Birthday parties; and be your best friend", et cetera - a message to the band, to please release more tracks.
She also said that this is literally thee-only release of WET LEG's. I just looked and they put out another song. It's okay; but definitely not as catchy as this here tune. It makes me think of the group AUTOMATIC - whom are drummer Kevin Haskins' (BAUHAUS/ TONES ON TAIL - [now "POPTONE"] / LOVE AND ROCKETS) daughters. They did an excellent cover of Delta 5's "Mind Your Own Business", live. I think it would be a fab opening act on a leg of a US or UK tour.
I'm 58 ,cool as love it ,be interesting to see what else they come up with
Love this! Reminds me of the Little House on the Prairie in a welcomely strange way.

In my 60s now, I've heard, and seen, my share of great female led bands. It's like all of them rolled together, had a love child and named it Wet Leg. Yay!
yup.
@tecdessus not even close. Imo Wet Leg blows them out of the water.
Have you heard of Halestorm
@tecdessus cheers grandad
This song is especially popular with people in their sixties it seems.
I absolutely love this, thanks BBC 6Music! Was an 80s indie kid now a 50+ year old who still loves discovering new music.
Just a buffin mutterer then?
The film "Upgraded" brought me here onto the Chaise Longue.
Same 😂
me too 😂😂
@@sue12061206

I didn't notice.. but the movie wasn't that good.
I went out and bought myself a Chaise Longue after listening to this song...I am very happy with it...😁
What are you doing sitting down? You should be horizontal now...
I got a day bed by mistake.
I bought myself ear plugs
I've clicked on this video multiple times a day since I first heard this song. Can't get enough of it. Great debut.
Why would you keep clicking on the video. that would just keep pausing it.....
@@rednola9892 shit. No wonder it sounded so choppy. I thought I was listening to a whole album of very short songs that all sounded very similar. Thanks to your incredible powers of logic and literal interpretation, I can now enjoy this song as the artist originally intended.
Wait...does this means all those short movies on a Blu-ray or DVD main menu aren't sequels?? My God man! You've revolutionized the way I'll watch movies and listen to music from now on! Thank you! Thank you SO MUCH. The world needs more people like you to point out the obvious. Tell me, are you in the military? Captain maybe??
I love this wonderful raw music. You can hear the Sonic Youth bleed out. Please come to Chicago! I'll be in the front row.
Definitely! I was trying to think, which Indie Rock band it reminds me off and yes, Definitely! The tones of Kim Gordon and Sonic Youth. Fantastic!
テレビで見てカッコいいなぁって
飾らないとこがいいです😊
Hey you might like a band called The Doublejumps if you like Wet Leg
Every so often a song/video combo comes along that you just can't stop playing. This is that song for 2021 thus far.
I'm 65 and randomly heard this song the other day, the beat, the swagger, the guitar riff, everything about it is incredible. I'm probably the only 65 year old singing and humming this song in the grocery store and on the golf course, rock on girls.
I'm 65 too and saw them on the Brits. Never heard of them before. Very refreshing. Best thing on the 'show' :~)
@@andrewwright8725 Concur your sentiment. They have a real new wave almost punk rock feel from the 70 s and 80s. Impossible not to love them
Well I'm 63 and love it like stink, so I'm almost there.
I am 67 and really enthralled by them and song at Brits. Love the lyrics and they are so hip, envy their age. Fab new talent with capital T!
Ye gods! I’m 51 and generally into death metal…but this shizen rocks! 😂😂
Music like this comes around every 10 years or so..and I’m happy to hear deadpan new wave every time it comes to visit
New Wave is exactly what this is. It's nice to hear this today!
"I can't stop shaking..." lol...oh man, they are so cute, so endearing, so adorable and just lovely...such funny, sweet, sassy, delightful ladies...I wish them every success in their lives...May nothing but happiness shine through their doors...
All hail Nico, the goddess of dispassionate vocals. These are among her daughters. Excellent track.
I picked up Nico too!
"she'll bring you up just to put you down, what a klon"
Well I've just celebrated my 70th year on the this planet , in that time my music collection has , starting with The Beatles , has grown quite a lot , this sound is the next to add to my collection , brilliant !
It has had a few dry spells. Today's music is littered with really cool music and pop "stars" created by their investors and agents.
These girls seem like authentic cool flower child don't give a fuck women (excuse my use of the term "girls ", just bowing down to their youth.
boing⤴️
74, and agree!
@@bobburroughs6241 Check out "Energy"- B-Boys , And "nightcrawler" - The oh sees
Amazing. I can't believe I've not heard them until Jo Whiley played this. And now it seems everyone knows them Great band and can't wait to see them live. Thank you Wet Leg x
I can't get enough of this track. The vocals are so sly, understated and cool. Then the guitar kicks in and launches the song straight to Mars. "Excuse me... what?" is as indelible as the
Who's "Mm mm mm my Generation." It's that memorable! I love this track! "I've got a chaise longue in my dressing room, and a pack of warm beer that we can consume." Oh, I am so there.
My favourite line - would you like us to assign someone to worry your mother?
Did you really just compare this to the Who?
The guitar sequence is very similar to that in Lightening Bolt,Jake Bugg.
@@Shed_Heeran No he didn't compare it to The Who. He likened the hook to something in another song. Maybe learn to read.
She should say chaise lounge more
I like to describe Wet Leg's sound as Lilly Allen singing The Beatles in the style of Frans Ferdinand. So very British and loving it!
Franz *
It’s Lesbonic Cringecore.
No. I didn’t make that up. It’s a real thing
I can't stop smiling. This is the coolest most fun thing in years!
A serious breath of fresh air!!!
Ty6t
Me too ! They're so cool right now.
Mmm a bit like (we've got a fuzz box and we're gonna use it)for about fourteen minutes, wish them well,but "music ""journalists "are predators
@@iammarlene7235 I'm a old Doorknob but this song is fantastic.
Everything about this song rocks!
Great to have alternative music back
Yeah...1 chord...no chorus... crap lyrics... amazing stuff 👀
I love it when the song and the video come together and compliment each other brilliantly. Those two are great!
The kicks feel real lmao
Evil society
Except this video never once shows a chaise longue....
I heard this on the radio 2 days ago and damn near died of pleasure.
I heard on the radio and I couldn’t stop laughing the lyrics are so dumb
I love the copious innuendo. This song has a vibe that reminds me of The Donnas
Hear the Song today for the first time. And it goes on since two hours in a
continuous loop. Best song in June so far. *thumbsup*
Heard this yesterday as debuted on Alt Nation's "Advanced Placement." An absolute earworm, I can't stop playing it and now I can't stop watching it. 🤓🥰 I just followed you on Twitter. 😉 I couldn't agree more when an online magazine described you as, "QUITE CLEARLY THE BEST NEW BAND ON THE PLANET." 👍👏
Me too! My husband & I keep singing it, lol. I tried to find it on Spotify to add to my favorites, but I think it's too new.
Heard this song on the radio and was instantly hooked. The guitar beat is awesome 👏
i'm 63 and was casually listening to the radio when I heard this for the first time. Stopped whatever the mundane thing I was doing, cranked the radio up and have lost count the number of times I've subsequently watched this video. Explored the music and videos much more now and I adore them.
These Girls are going to be massive. Love the confidence to come out of the box so unique
I am a 38 year old dude, and this is one of the catchiest songs I have ever heard in my entire life. I heard it for the first time ever at a New Year's Eve party last night, and it's been stuck in my head all day today.
56 year old lady here and I’ve been obsessed with this song since I randomly heard it on the bbc in Montreal a few weeks ago - it’s the coolest thing ever - has such 80s vibes !
Heard this yesterday at work and I'm in the same boat 🎶🎶🎶🎶
Im 57 and absolutely love this band! Age means nothing when you hear a great song like this!
It’s so 90s riot girl
41 here, I’m going to buy a chaise longue as soon as I can!🤣 great song
I´m currently inside the trojan horse and I always listen to this song before battle. Love it!
You can’t handle my potions, traveler
hey you over there, in a trojan horse in your underwear, why are you still inside, you should be killing everyone now
@@herzeliedstein573 i think youre a fking quack
I am an amino acid hurtling toward a forming planet on an asteroid, I can tell you the rift in this song is wanting me to create life on earth.
Did Bill and Ted leave a Walkman?
Was in Philly last weekend with my(36) siblings(32)(37) visiting my aunt (71) and her kid(40) and his wife(39) for a Christmas type get together. We did a karaoke and the first song of the night was this as a duet by my cousin and his wife. It really set the spirit for the evening. Got me in the mood to actually sing. So I sang my favorite song. Dirty Diana. It's been my favorite song since I was five years old. Then we ended the night with Bohemian Rhapsody... because... you kinda have to!
I've been hearing this a lot on our local independent radio station. Liking it.
THE ALGORITHM HAS TRULY BLESSED ME ON THIS DAY
no shit!
yes
Yes, and me as well! Buttered muffins!!

This hits my 51-year-old brain in all the right ways. I didn't know how much I needed this!
Yes, same age and if this had been on the jukebox in the pub in the 90s it would have been on all the time with people bouncing around the bar.
meee toooo
same here, wow, epic in 51 years...
56 and rockin'n (not in a chair! 😂)
I'm 66 and I love it. Its relaxing but energising, seems to re-wire my brain.
Just discovered you guys. I grew up listening to the post punk genre, a long long time ago. Your music is amazing. Checks all the boxes, with a modern twist. Also, no one else sounds like this. Do your thing!
They got lucky... right time and people nowadays seem to go for singers that do fakey accents when performing.
If around in the post punk era during the times of Public Image, Siouxie and the Banshees Magazine Simple Minds late 70,s when I was around in that era then I think at best they would be a support act imo 🤘
Sorta like the Mekons
This is why I like KCRW in Los Angeles. You never know what you're gonna get. I'm in my sixties, but not dead yet. Please send someone to butter my muffin and worry my mother. Thanks!
Bro. Listen to 88.5 if you wanna get all the way down.
Which is what we do
Love from El Segundo
Check out their new single it's just as catchy. From another oldie in London still enjoying good new music!
You rock and I want to be your friend!
@@melb7502 isnt it great to discover after wading thru all the american idol instrument missing singers the radio is filled promoting, its like theres a new garage rock & punk rock explosion happening the black lips. Mark sultan/ BBQ Show, king khan and bbq show, nobunny, hunx and his punx, shannon and the clams, , ty segall, dr. Dog, the strange boys, it goes on and on and on! R.I.P. Jay Reatard his documentary just became available on youtube free after 12 yrs or more . Its awesome!
Im 50
Lamacq played it earlier while I was driving. Got home and on my tenth listen.
Just found these guys .. so fantastic to hear great young music .. it’s been a while ..
This is first tune in a looong time that just sticks in me head ... going around singing the lyrics over and over to self .... people think I'm nuts
Definitely have to enjoy this moment…on the chaise longue.
Man I love Alternative it’s limitless
looking forward to more Wet Leg in the future
Easily my favorite band that I've discovered in the last year. I can't wait to see what they have coming
Sorry you need to get out more.
Really? I concur with the first comment
Came across this band when we went to watch Harry Styles. Wet leg was supporting him. Absolutely love Wet leg, such a talented band !
Holy shit...
This is going to skyrocket, and if it doesn't, it'll be one of the coolest gems in music history.
What do you expect? The US modern rock stations are playing mostly Billie Eilish, Machine Gun Kelly and they added one more, Willow.
No
News about this song. Many modern rock stations in the US has started adding this song and you will see this enter the Billboard Alternative Songs chart (formerly Modern Rock tracks chart) this week.
I suspect rather hope it will too. The bass line is an infectious thread. The way former junkie in me loves " got the big Dee" for all the wrong reasons lol
Clean here 15 years still I laughed to myself
