hot soup girl

It's not often that a classic pop song comes along and lifts you out of your bad mood, puts a little smile on your face and makes you chirrup like some crazy, nectar-intoxicated mynor bird. While "Hot Soup Girl" may not be that song, it's still awesome. In fact, if any song summarises Davey Dreamnation's understanding of modern music, it's this one. Born out of a mistake during an experimental home recording session, the killer instrumental section has drawn comparisons with Led Zeppelin, Chris de Burgh and OMD, none of them favourable. Still, from its humble acoustic opening to the soaring, angelic refrain, this is lighter-waving, undie-ripping, buttock-clenching pop music at its best. And if you don't agree with that, then maybe you shouldn't be here.
