Everything Everything - "My Keys, Your Boyfriend"

"Cause he was looking at me like WOAH!"

Alright. As far as I'm concerned, this song is pure genius. If the incessant little stabbing melodies and harmonies don't get you, how does that persistent verse keyboard riff not? If the lyrics don't entirely make sense at first, how can you not love a song reportedly about "what it would be like to try and have any kind of normal relationship if your country was being bombed constantly by an occupying nation, from the point of view of a self-obsessed, post-traumatic, stress-disordered Lothario"? And it's all set to a mess of class 80s hooks. Look out for these guys. This is some talent. Enjoy.
