Les Savy Fav - Limo Scene lyrics
About this lyric:
Les Savy Fav are back with a new single, "Limo Scene," and it's a wild ride! This is their first new music in 14 years, and it serves as the third single from their upcoming album, "OUI, LSF," due out May 10th.
Party in the Back, Baby Making in the Front:
"Limo Scene" isn't your typical party anthem. While it boasts a driving, energetic sound, bassist Syd Butler describes it as being about the "orgy of breeding ideas" that goes into creating new music. Think of it as a chaotic celebration of the creative process.
Genre-Bending Goodness:
The song is a delicious blend of the band's signature style. It captures the anxious energy of their "Modern Vampires of the City" era, balanced with the joyful instrumentation of "Father of the Bride." Imagine a grittier, more downtempo version of "Ya Hey" with a late-90s electronic vibe thrown in for good measure.
A Feast for the Senses:
Sonically, "Limo Scene" is a feast. A bright piano melody leads the way, joined by a sample from a British R&B song. Dramatic choral flourishes punctuate the soundscape, creating a sense of both grandeur and weirdness. The downtempo drumbeat provides a steady foundation for the rest of the instrumentation to build upon.
A Mysterious Journey:
While the lyrical references are cryptic ("breeding ideas"), the overall feeling is one of frenetic energy and exploration. It's an exciting glimpse into what Les Savy Fav have cooked up for their upcoming album.
Out late on Cypress Street Trying to find a gravestone for Rocky T You pulled up in your limousine White walls muddy, windows full of steam I climb inside And then you lick your lips You say, I’m prey But hey, I prayed for this You touch my wrist And then you, you lick my lips Unzip my soul, I whisper, “I’m into this” Froze stiff in the headlight beams I’m like, “What do you want from me?” You call, “Baby-child, what do you mean?” “It’s just sumpfin in the back that you should see” Oom Mow Papa Papa Oom Mow Mow I said, Oom Mow Baby Baby Oom Mow Mow I said, Oom Mow Papa Papa Oom Meow Meow Who shouts, “Come and get me!” Who shouts now? Who shouts, “Yes I’m ready!” Who shouts now? Who shouts, “Keep it steady!” Who shouts now? Who shouts, “Someone get me!” Who shouts now?
