Personally I think this category is a lot like yesterday's category, so I'm spinning it a little. Instead of a song no one would expect me to love, I'm giving you a band no one would expect me to love. And since most of the music I like is the kind of thing that might inspire the, "You? You like that band, really?" response, I'm going instead with a band that no one would expect me to like for the simple reason that no one else has heard of this band. You can't expect me to love a band you've never heard of, right? Call it cheating if you wish.
I don't know where I found this band, but because of their name I used to confuse them with Death Cab for Cutie. This band is not Death Cab for Cutie. This band is Cute Is What We Aim For. If cute is what they aim for, I'm not sure they're hitting the mark, but I do think they're weird but catchy, witty but sometimes lame. And I'm addicted. This band's jams are on that driving playlist I can never manage to shut up about. Here are just a couple.
This first one is called "Teasing to Please." I don't know why, but I like the bit about the ripped knees.
The second one I'd like to share is called "Time." It's a little bit more slow and sad, and you know I like that.
The only videos I could find had the lyrics, so I hope you guys don't mind that.
*raises hand* I am shocked!
