Ok, so I’ve posted about The Sweet before, but I can’t help it – they’re just a fountain of bubbly pop absurdity. Don’t get me wrong, I love The Sweet, but not for their deep and meaningful lyrics. Who thought it was a good idea to write a pop song about Alexander Graham Bell?! It’s not like this song is new to me, but I was recently struck by exactly how ridiculous it is. My favorite part? The rhyming of “Alexander Graham Bell / Well, he knew darned well”, of course.
Now I must be off to write a #1 hit about Ben Franklin. It’s going to rock.
