A Bentley (a bentley a bentley a bentley . . . )



891. THE KELLY AFFAIR, Be Your Own Pet
Produced by Steven McDonald, written by Be Your Own Pet
2008 Did not make pop charts--yet

This band is classified as "punk," but I haven’t known what that is since the Berlin Wall fell. If guitars and drums fast and loud, with deviant semi-ironic lyrics and sonic antecedents in surf music qualifies as punk, though, then I guess they are. Anyway, the glory of this song is that it is basically Beyond the Valley of the Dolls in three minutes. Personally, I could have used a circular narrative structure, but as an aficionado I do like the mention of a Bentley in the break. It's a nifty nifty song.
