I Feel Positively Filthy Standing Next To You

The Pipettes “Dirty Mind” – If you were with me this weekend, you surely would have freaked out at some point and begged me to stop playing this song over and over again. But you weren’t, and I did, and I loved every moment of it. In fact, I’m fairly certain that I only love this song more every time that I hear it. This is modern “Northern Soul” girl-group pop performed by three beautiful Brits from Brighton, but as twee as the lyrics get, it avoids tackiness through total mastery of the subgenre’s form and elegant touches such as the sparkling piano that enters the arrangement on the breakdown. Sublime. (Click here to buy it from Amazon UK and here to watch the very adorable video for the song.)
