    "Are You Serious"
    Used to have just one foot out the door
    Yeah, I always wanted more
    I always was the one
    You thought would never marry
    Used to be willfully obtuse
    (or is the word abstruse?)
    Semantics like a noose
    Get out your dictionaries
    I'm gonna cut to the quick
    This is all non-fiction
    Words you beat with a stick
    These are my true convictions
    So tell me, are you serious?
    Are you serious?
    Cause every night of your life
    You'll fight for it
    So mysterious
    How imperious!
    But are you serious
    When it really comes down to it?
    I see that you're down there and on the pier
    Your boyfriend's gone to get a beer
    Leaving us crystal clear lines of communications
    Promise me you won't avert your eyes
    I drop my third-person disguise
    You know it's time to do or die
    No useless explanations
    I'm gonna cut to the quick
    This is all non-fiction
    Words you beat with a stick
    These are my true convictions
    Tell me, are you serious?
    Are you serious?
    Every night of your life
    You'll fight for it
    So mysterious
    How imperious!
    But are you serious
    When it really comes down to it?

      Yes, I'm not alone! I got this song totally stuck in my after watching the video but by the day's end it was being unconsciously substituted by Brittany Spears' oops song. Several of the melody intervals are identical, in addition to the same chorus motif of descending bass notes contrasting the ascending melody overtop.

      Which has been done since the birth of music... Passacaglia, canons, counterpoint... it's all been done before. However, Andrew Bird, unlike Britney Spears, a face marketed for money is actually original. He's so bloody talented.
