“The men cry out
The girls cry out
The men cry out
The girls cry out
The men cry out
Oh no
Off, off with your head
Dance, dance ‘til you’re dead (dead)
Heads will roll
Heads will roll
Heads will roll
On the floor
Looking glass
Take the past
Shut your eyes
You realize”
- “Heads Will Roll” by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, off the album It’s Blitz!
This song is so fucking cool. And the video! I’m never going to look at red confetti or red glitter the same way again.
“Y Control” by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, off the album Fever to Tell
This is one of my favorite songs, period, almost exclusively because of this line: “I wish I could buy back the woman you stole.”
And I cannot overstate how completely and utterly fucked-up this video is.
Another picture from when I saw the YYYs at McCarren Park Pool. At one point, Karen decided to force Brian to come out from behind the drums and tease him a bit. It was kind of seriously adorable.
“Can’t say why I kept this from you
My those quiet eyes become you
Leave it where it can’t remind us
Turn this all around behind us
Oh! Well I know!
I’ll fall right in to keep you out
I’d like to tell you all about it”
- “Turn Into” by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, off the album Show Your Bones
It may be an unconventional choice, but this is my favorite song off this album. Like many of my favorite YYYs songs, it makes my heart ache, but I adore its simple elegance.
