I’ve been thinking recently about something I’ve written about before: “Hey Ya!” at its heart is a really, really despondent song.
Meanwhile, the lyric in my head’s from Franz Ferdinand’s “Dark of the Matinee”:
Find me and follow me through corridors
Refectories and files you must follow
Leave this academic factory
You will find me in the matinee, the dark of the matinee
And a line apropos of nothing: you can call me sad, I’ll call you a cab.
