Mod-est Lads - Trouser Load of Love
LocationIowa City
Initial ImpressionThe four cartoon characters sharing one pair of trousers on the cover of this CD just made me think of Wallace and Grommit's "The Wrong Trousers". Claymation rocks!
Notable Lyric"I've got a trouser load of love, I can't carry it all alone." - "Trouser Load of Love"
FactoidThat's right, this is that fictitious band from the make-believe town of Bladderpool.
Serve WithA Weird Al record.
CommentsThis "band" manages to tie in the British Invasion, with some silly lyrics to create kitschy little ditties. Think Weird Al with a fake British accent and a mop top. But you've gotta love the sixties vibe. "Sputnik Spy From Outer Space" brings to mind the School House Rock "Interplant Janet"; "They Stand Straight Up (When She Lays Down)" which sends the positive message that elective surgery is bad, mmmm kay?; "She Said Bi..." as if I need to explain that one; and "She Could Be In The Beatles" is a happy tune about a chick that, well, could be in the Beatles. About a dozen or so Beatles titles are mentioned and a fun "discussion" which smacked of Monty Python interjects. -- It's just that silly!
