John Grant - Rhetorical Figure (Lyric Video)

[MegaAtomium]

I can't WAIT until this song shows up on my aerobics class sweat list!

[lostjokerg]

I think John is losing his mind. 😂
I love it. 😄

[hobolullaby]

This song is truly glorious, Bravo, Mr. Grant!
😂❤😊

[sniffs]

I don't know why but this gives me "John Grant dancing in his underwear with the curtains open" energy

[octosparkTC]

After the year we’ve had, this wackiness is a welcome delight. And, I might add, in tandem with a new way of living in the world.

John if you ever read your messages which you probably don’t, but if you do, I want you to know that you look exactly like my son, who is a musician too. ❤❤❤ I love your music so much it’s so inspirational and clever. You are so gifted! Love yourself because I have been down that road and it’s a hard road..as you likely know. I hope you come back to the states someday! ❤❤

Sublime & ridiculous at the same time, for me John is a proper artist who takes risks & never plays to the gallery

[ursaminorjim]

Friggin' delightful. I'll bet JG is the kind of person who's terrible at Scrabble because they go for these delicious words that end up being worth, like, ten points instead just of adding as S tile to the end of FART and collecting 73 points with a triple word score on a double letter tile.

I love this song so much. Like Oingo Boingo meets Devo.

[carminedesanctis]

...and then came the day. The day that John Grant turned into Lene Lovich.

[Althemusicman]

Ah there's only one John Grant, he's a musical genius!😊

[duncanmcdonald]

Wow totally bonkers but intelligent as always if you get what I mean? You never know what your going to get from john. Love it.

♥️🙌🙌🙌♥️ 80s throwback!!
(Also, were you listening to Iggy Pop a lot when you wrote this insanely catchy little number?! 😉😘)

[jamesandolini]

Wow! Would have guessed this was from around 1980. Super post punk retro!

[hankdigger]

Love it from first kisten, started dancing in the kitchen

[altrumodi]

Intellectualoid grammar lyrics i dont understand, literally what i was looking for.

[timkraaijvanger]

Absolutely brilliant. Can't wait to hear this one live.

[FrankieGoesToMars]

Very Falko, funny beat and halfspoken singing. Back to the '80s

Thanks again for saving me of this ugly trappy latin times...
