It has a kind of nursery-rhyme quality to it...both the music (with that funky piano riff) and the lyrics. He really sounds like he's inventing the lyrics just before singing them...very funny and irresistible song! 😄

OMD are an amazing band. All Their songs sound so different, and cover such a vast array of subjects. They're very clever with their use of musical technology. One of my first ever singles was Joan of Arc, then Enola Gay was massive with the crowd I hung around with. Casio had just come out with the PC 10 and we all loved playing it or in some cases trying to play it. From seven seas to Pandora's box to walking on the milky way they have made a considerable contribution to pop music and popular culture, sadly not given enough credit. They are a band of true genius.
