This Will Be The Last Time I Ever Do Your Hair

Wow, the Scissor Sisters album still isn’t out! That’s a real shame, because it’s easily one of the best pop records of the year, and more people should know about this record than a couple hundred clued-in p2p users. I guess the word is getting out slowly, because I get a good number of people coming to this site looking for the song “Laura,” and a few people have even emailed me asking me to post the song again. So, this is for you guys, and all the people who haven’t heard it yet.

My love for “Laura (Simone)” runs very deep; it really doesn’t matter how many times I hear it, I never ever get sick of it. I’ve been thinking about how it would be a great comeback single for Michael Jackson. Just imagine him singing that “Simone! Simone!” part of the chorus! It would be such a perfect fit. Also, that last line “one face among the many / I never thought you’d care” would sound great coming from ol’ Wacko Jacko – it would be just the right combination of weirdness, irony, and pathos. (Well, hey! This song is finally being released as a single in the UK next week. Good timing.)

“Music Is The Victim” is another highlight from the album. It starts off rather like a late 70s/early 80s Elton John upbeat rocker type of song before surrendering to total silliness by the time it hits the bridge.
