Don’t Be Such A Flirt
Tiga “Shoes”
I enjoy this song because of, and not in spite of, the fact that it very much sounds like something Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim would do on Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job! as a joke. Though it’s clear enough that Tiga is taking the music a lot more seriously than they would, it’s also pretty obvious that the vocals are intentionally campy and ridiculous. Basically, as the track funks along, Tiga flirts with and flatters a lady in relatively strange ways, and she rejects him at every turn, and the end result is a track in which it’s difficult to tell whether this is part of some odd sexual game they are playing, or if he’s a weirdo getting shot down for good reason, or if she’s just this incredibly aloof and unfeeling ice queen.
Buy it from Amazon.

Is it supposed to sound like the other Shoes at all? This one totally has that Tim & Eric vibe…
