Genre: Indie, Dance Punk
Lyrics: @ lyricsmode
OhMyGod. "Cassius" is one of the catchiest songs in the entire world history of music. Ever. Period. It is nearly IMPOSSIBLE to listen to this song just once. They've got a serious Lay's Potato Chips thing going on. I'd like to thank my sister, Samantha, for inflicting this upon me.
The good news is, I love Foals. I love this song. Zillions of others do not share my sentiments. I can see how one might feel that way, I can; but I'm a big champion of indie pop, dance-punk, math rock type stuff so, points for me! High five!
Winning points of this song are a good beat, good tempo, and simple lyrics which repeat. Some may have a bit of trouble understanding what those lyrics are thanks to a lovely Oxford accent, but this is one of those songs where it doesn't matter. Just make up your own.
I'm not exactly sure how this song got away without making a big splash given how infectious it is. It managed to peak at #26 on the UK Singles Chart and was song #45 on Rolling Stone's list of the 100 Best Songs of 2008. It's album, Antidote, did manage to make it all the way to #3 on the UK Albums Chart and also at #28 on the US Top Heatseekers Chart, respectively.
And hell, I've been listening to it non-stop while I wrote this. Here, let it invade your life as well:
