Mighty Atomics set out their stall for the first single on their self-titled debut album with this highly captivating track. The lyrics in the track emanate from the songwriter’s foresight of his friend’s relationship with his girlfriend and the obvious demise and potential doom that will ensue. “I know the power of she, he’ll be crawling on his knees” are some of my favourite lyrics on the song.
The hook is extremely catchy and thoroughly enjoyable laying out a modern three-chord surf and rock sound that you just tap along to and it’s infectious. (Check out the video below, which despite showing a psychotic woman attempting to kill the whole band shows the band’s humourous side – there’s probably too much talking on the track from the seemingly terrified filmmakers, but it’s a great scit.)
