Drink Up Buttercup

Sosey & Dosey

Published: Jul 14, 2009


One Track Mind

Now that, friends, is the definition of a hook. The B-side to the new Farewell Captain 7-inch from Philly's Drink Up Buttercup is so simplistic on a narrative level — a couple goes for a walk one winter's eve to listen to carolers, the couple slips on ice, the couple falls — but the frenetic refrain totally drives the song to absurd levels of awesome. "Sosey, Dosey, keep on fallin', fallin'!" cries the mocking jeer from some anarchic urchins, pointing and laughing at the fallen couple from the carousel they commandeered across the street — at least I presume that's the source of the song's hellbent circus organ and marching band rhythm. The taunt, a mere six-word phrase, is also simplistic, I'll admit. But when you hear it 16 times in a short tune, delivered first with poise, then expanded to a Zombies-esque harmony, you won't shake it.
