The Be Be See - Disney Eyes

I’ve been a fan of The Be Be See for a while now. Even if their manager was a total cunt when I tried to book them for a gig a few months back, it still hasn’t put me off them. This says a lot about the band, as usually my vindictive and bitter nature would make me have a pathological hatred of the band and management, but luckily, the tunes are strong enough to quash my vendetta.

On first listen, it’s not as instant as the “You K Gold” single, but it certainly has it’s own charm and deportment about it. The piano and guitar recall the sound that Supergrass went for on their second album, which is by no means a crime. In fact, pretty much all of the song has a distinct Britpop influence.

The vocals and lyrics do lack the social commentary and wit of a Jarvis, maybe more in line with Louise Wener, but still fun.

The only thing I dislike is the shouting and bawling about going to Tokyo and seeing Kilimanjaro in some sort of Shaun Ryder style. However, this bit is closely followed by my favourite lyric of the song, “some people walk between the raindrops all of the time”.

I love the chorus, it's uplifting and sing-a-long, it’s the type of thing that kids should be dancing to on the indie dancefloors up and down the country, instead of putting their hands round each others shoulders and jumping up and down to “I Predict A Riot”.

By your second and third listen you’ll be smiling, and after every other listen, you’ll be completely sold.

I suppose they can’t go on forever with the puns and play on words song titles, but it’s definitely great fun while it lasts. Enjoy them before they get massively popular and become public enemy number one.


The single was out on the 11th of June, get more information at The Be Be See's MySpace.
