Arctic Monkeys - 'Teddy Picker'

Arctic Monkeys - 'Teddy Picker'

The third single taken from the Arctic Monkeys’ Favourite Worst Nightmare, ‘Teddy Picker,’ is typically Turner and brilliantly Monkeys. From the first micro-syllable of Turner’s lyrics to the last hammer-like snare hit, the song, whose title is a crafty metaphor for kitsch TV talent quests like Pop Idol and X Factor, is a tale of the kids who dream big and then get fucked...Royally! It’s stars-in-their-eyes being slammed by the corporate cock-shaft backed by pure funk-rock muscle, brooding with the same edgy tension that permeated through ‘Fake Tales of San Francisco.’ Safe as fuck, then? Fuck, yeah!

Released 03/12/07 on Domino.

  • @Gigwise Radiohead, U2 and the Stones, with Muse on another stage so I can watch them instead of U2 would be best of all!
