You know how sometimes you get a song stuck in your head for a day or maybe two days and you sing it and you sing it and then forget all about it?
Brendan Maclean's Cold and Happy isn't one of those songs.
It stays in your head for weeks, months even. It pops out at awkward moments like when say, oooh I dunno, maybe you walk into your local supermarket and you go "oh hey! there's a line about a local supermarket in that there Cold and Happy song!" and then you sing it, out loud, in your local supermarket and people move away from you because you may or may not have become the crazy lady who sings to figs.*
And then maybe, just maybe, it pops into your head when you're walking down the street and happen to overhear someone mention the cold and so naturally, maybe, you start singing again about being cold and happy only this time with handclaps. Fucking handclaps!
And do you know why you can't get it out of your head? Do you?
BECAUSE IT'S THE PERFECT GODDAM POP SONG.
And the clip has a jelly fight.
And it makes you do mad smiles.
Brendan Maclean is playing his first headline show at The Basement on June 7, complete with his most excellent band. If you miss out you will be full of misery and sad puppies. Tickets here kiddies!
* By the way, how nice and cheap are figs at the moment? How irrelevant is the price of figs to the rest of this post??
