O Sing It Orange To Her

Space Age Bossa Nova! Opens and closes with one of the signature instruments of the “bourgeois” 60s, the eternal cocktail hour of the swinging whiskey–swigging cigarette-smoking executive squares: A bass flute à la Henry Mancini. As Donald Fagen of Steely Dan puts it in his surprisingly excellent pop education memoir “Eminent Hipsters”: “By 1961 […] Hank […] had exposed himself as a bit of a moldy fig.” So: Never Mind the Moldy Peaches – Here Come the Moldy Figs!

6. O Sing It Orange to Her

The light that
Shines when you go astray
Is a wave that
Washes old times away
And colour
Is a wave that
Collapses
In your eyes
Ref.
O sing it orange to her
O she’ll hear blue

The sound
When you trip by mistake
Is a wave
That’s set off by the quake
Of the young ones
Whose love vibes
Can never
Be lies
