song of the day: puppet on a string by the hives

I'm not really a huge fan of The Hives. I liked one song when they were really popular and, honestly, I don't even remember what it was.

I always kind of thought they were just another one of those carbon copy bands with hipster Beatles haircuts and ball-crushingly tight black jeans. And, I mean, they are.

But, thankfully for my iPod shuffle, I discovered "Puppet on a String." It's just my kind of quirky. It's almost like the musical equivalent of Halloween (although not as much as Ramalama by Roisin Murphy). It's fairly fantastic.

Now, I decided to listen to the rest of The Black and White Album to make sure that I hadn't prematurely dismissed The Hives. And...nope. I was totally right. They're like...beige. Beige with electric guitars.

So, lone reader, I present you with the one gem in the Hives' collection of sameness and unoriginality.

I'd dare you to not like it, but let's face it, chances are your musical taste isn't as weird as mine. Oh well.
