Sex Is Like Laughter
The Strange Boys “Laugh At Sex, Not Her”
There’s an intimate, conversational quality to this song that makes it seem like the singer is sitting right next to you, babbling on about his friends fucking in the next room and why that’s totally cool with him. You probably don’t know him very well, but he’s kinda oversharing, especially when he mentions that he’s been with that girl too. He’s almost certainly drunk. You don’t know whether you should laugh at his theories about sex, or if you should just humor him and nod meaningfully. It’s also unclear whether he wants to wallow in self-pity, reflect on his friends’ happiness, or if this is his way of trying to bone you. It’s a clever, vivid little moment rendered in song.
Buy it from Amazon.

I love songs like this about odd topics. It reminds me of similar conversations I’ve had with strangers.

This is a good song. I think the singer, Ryan Sambol, has a cool and quirky way with words…and subject matter. The rest of the record is pretty good, too.
