Of Montreal – Gallery Piece (Skeletal Lamping, 2009)

I’m getting in the habit of dedicating these posts to people. So, in that spirit, this one goes out to my friend Oz, who listens to this every time that I’ve been in the car with him. I’ve known about Of Montreal for a while now, and enjoyed their albums immensely. They are a interesting mix of up beat pop, with wacky, almost manic lyrics.

This one is is one of those basic, there’s a person, and they like this other person, and here’s all the things that they want to do with that person. But what I really love about it, is some of the lyrics are really weird, and kinda wacky. I’ll give an example of some of my favorites.

I want to hurt your pride
I want to slap your face
I want to paint your nails

I want to write you books
I want to turn you on
I want to make you come
200 times a day

That one never fails to crack me up. I mean, just the idea of cumming 200 times a day? Totally outrageous. Even if that was physically possible (Which I highly doubt it is) It would be so incredibley draining, that you might actually fuck someone to death.

There’s not really much else, that I wanted to say about this one. Mostly how much I like the lyrics. And how they are kinda nonstandard for this kind of song.
