"three short words" - josie & the pussycats

("If I could go back in time, I would want to meet Snoopy.")

I watched Josie and the Pussycats tonight, which I like maybe more than I should. Whatever. It's a great movie, and it reminded me that I should post to this thing more often. But, before I get to that, I just wanted to exult (briefly) about "Three Small Words," one of the Pussycats' tunes. It's great. Go download it. It pretty much perfectly adheres to The Residents' Commercial Album theory: that most pop songs can be boiled down to one minute -- a verse, a chorus, and a bridge/solo. Sho' nuff, after exactly a minute, "Three Small Words" jumps to its second cycle, and it's hard to think the songwriters don't know. Anyway, great song, catchy-ass chorus. A good, simple way of getting around the obvious phrase, never actually speaking/singing it. Two minutes and fifty-three seconds of goodness. Now, on with the countdown.
