Perfectly Perfect - Elizabeth and the Catapult



Link.

Favorite lyrics: And my dreams are ever so tempting, until they go pop pop pop.

The circus music in the background of this song is like a sugary coating over the lyrics, which makes sense when you consider what the song's about. It's upbeat, and you could totally oldschool dance to it in a polka-dot dress or a buttoned vest, but it's all about irony. It's basically pretending to be a happy, upbeat song, a facade to match the lyrics' assurance of how hopeless happiness is. Which is hypocritical, because there's no way you can't be happy listening to this song.

Reminds us of: Florence and the Machine & Ingrid Michaelson
Listen to: while dancing and making cookies theatrically. Singing into the mixing spoon is necessary.
