Orson - 'Happiness' (Mercury) Released 07/08/06

Why the hell do Orson exist? It makes you wonder about the people of Britain when a band this utterly utterly terrible are able to make it big. ‘Happiness’ is one of the worst songs released this year, only topped by Orsons first 2 singles. Now Gigwise can’t speak for all the ladies of the world but surely “We ain’t got a whole lot of money, How about a 5 star happy meal” is the worst line ever committed to paper and microphone? The rest of the tune plods along at a snails pace desperately trying to sound romantic and epic, lets just say it fails miserable. Orson are supporting Robbie Williams on tour soon, any chance the promoters can sort out a date in Beirut? It really would make the world a better place.
