LunchMoney Lewis “Bills”

“Bills” sounds like it was designed in a lab to be both immensely appealing and highly relatable – a song that could be played at any wedding reception, and fit easily into TV shows and movies that need a shorthand for “this character is broke and frustrated, but we’re still having fun!” I’m sure on some level this was something on LunchMoney Lewis’ mind when he was writing this song, but the song isn’t crushed by cynicism. Instead, it’s lifted up by it, and its eagerness to please actually results in a song so joyful and energetic that it’s very hard to deny. It’s also a bit weird and unique, in that it’s essentially a gospel/R&B hybrid with a production style that sounds directly inspired by Fatboy Slim’s “Praise You,” and a chorus that hits in a way that feels just like Chumbawumba’s “Tubthumping.”
