Anyway, one of the first Sidetracks I did was the debut album of the Like, and I said I'd post another more recent song, as they changed up the band, the look, and a bit of the sound for the Like mark 2.
The original bass player, Charlotte Froom, left for whatever reason, and guitar and vocalist, Z Berg, got
Laena Geronimo, and added keyboardist Reni Lane. The second album had the sound change to a more 60's girl group inspired direction, and a pseudo Phil Spector sound (without the crazy and firearms though).
After this album, "Release Me" in 2010, the band went on "Hiatus"... Which we all know means they broke up. Too bad, they were on a roll, with guest spots for Target stores commercials, appearances in the new 90210 as themselves, and also an appearance in the comic book, The Lil' Depressed Boy. Being drawn in an indi comic means success, in my book.
This song is edited from a short film commissioned by designer Zac Posen that was made to promote is Target fashion collection, and directed by Gia Coppola (granddaughter of Francis Ford). I quite like the infectiously strong drum beat and the 60's style keys. By the way, in YouTube, I loved, and agree with the first comment posted: "This song should be in a Scooby-Doo chase scene."
Band: The Like (mark 2)
Song: Fair Game (2010)
Switching partners like a square dance
Just watch where you're going
There are limbs akimbo, flying wildly
Just watch out now, don't get hit!
You want in our scene?
Hungry like the wolf
This wasn't my dream, but every day keeps getting better
We only look mean, crazy like a fox
Things aren't how the seem, right?
Its all fair game, anyway
It's all fair game, anyway
Just a teeny bit amoral
fiercely pessimistic but we're one big family
What's that darling,
Who says family doesn't kiss?
Oh every gang's a bit incestuous
It's just a game and if you know the rules you can't get hurt
We're all the same, a bit tempestuous
But we're just restless, right?
Its all fair game, anyway
It's all fair game, when you play
Just watch where you're going
There are limbs akimbo, flying wildly
Just watch out now, don't get hit!
You want in our scene?
Hungry like the wolf
This wasn't my dream, but every day keeps getting better
We only look mean, crazy like a fox
Things aren't how the seem, right?
Its all fair game, anyway
It's all fair game, anyway
Just a teeny bit amoral
fiercely pessimistic but we're one big family
What's that darling,
Who says family doesn't kiss?
Oh every gang's a bit incestuous
It's just a game and if you know the rules you can't get hurt
We're all the same, a bit tempestuous
But we're just restless, right?
Its all fair game, anyway
It's all fair game, when you play
Have you the heart and have you got the guts?
It's not a sport but who says life should be so boring?
We find your rules a bit extraneous
We leave you breathless, right?
Its all fair game, anyway
It's all fair game, anyway
Its all fair game, when you play
The rules are strange, but aren't they great
It's not a sport but who says life should be so boring?
We find your rules a bit extraneous
We leave you breathless, right?
Its all fair game, anyway
It's all fair game, anyway
Its all fair game, when you play
The rules are strange, but aren't they great
