Do you like soft rock? Belle & Sebastien? 60's pop?
If you answered yes to the above, this song (and the whole album) is a must listen. Twee vocals, cheeky lyrics, delicate harmonies and the occasional trumpet solo fill out a song about a schoolgirl crush gone wrong.
Quite simply a perfect song for lying in a grassy field watching the sun set.
from Underachievers Please Try Harder (Merge B00015HVWO), available on CD
Before the (deserved) hype and the sell out concerts, this tune- a B Side on one of their earlier EPs- was the first Franz tune I'd ever heard.
The raw, slightly out of tune vocals, the wonky synth/organ riffs, the lyrics about Archduke Ferdinand's assassination by Gavrillo Princip, as sung to his wife Sophia? How can anyone resist?
It's a shame they don't play this live at their shows!
Any Belle & Sebastian fans out there who can verify if this track is by them? It's so very different from what they normally do!
11 Oct 04 ·tasneem82: i have been trying to figure this track out for a couple of years now. it's not on any of their albums, i don't think, but wherever you try to download it from lists it as a b&s song. ??? 11 Oct 04 ·pleasepleaseme: Even more brillant if it is them! 16 Oct 04 ·nerdo: This song does not appear to be by Belle & Sebastian. It is by a group called Los Ninos and it is called Toma Que Toma. Check out this link for more http://www.dancesportmusic.com/songs/lostomaquetoma.html
