a song on why we are allowed to be pretentious
pizzicato five is so loony! they're so self-assured, so utterly convinced that their sillie j-pop is such style. they're all about parasols, beauty parlours, lace gloves. bond-style white catsuits. you know. & they're utterly frivolous! just like cibo matto in that respect. singing about silly things like kittens & sugar water. so peppy & drag-queenish. retro narcissism. so cheerfully nihilistic. like that band cinnamon! kinda unheard of. {"the cardigans for smart people"}the closest thing in our countries is our little girl tori.isn't tori such a sillie girl!i mean, mr zebra?! wearing a sweater!i swear she is so fantasy.almost like reigh.inow, you think i am a nasty bit of goods, i guess. you think i am capricious, cheeky, willful, luxurious, affected, lying, dubious and random. but i am allowed. because i am cute." "because i am cute"! bettie always uses that excuse now! it works!
