A bog-standard boom-tish drum pattern and resolutely-root-note bass guitar line are overlaid with slashy guitar. It's cute and straightforward and a strangely appropriate setting for the re-scanning of the lyric which is reworked so that it sounds like the words were written for a different song.
Shonen Knife were on Creation in the mid-nineties and seemed to release an endless stream of this upbeat, naive rock. For me, it doesn't bear repeat listening but this track always makes me smile.
