Ciao! (song)

Written as a duet sung from the perspective of a breakup, the song was written by Miki Berenyi with Jarvis Cocker of Pulp making a guest appearance to sing the male vocals.

Ladykillers (song)
"Ladykillers" is a song by English rock band Lush. It was released through 4AD on 26 February 1996 as the second single from the band's third studio album, '' Lovelife'' (1996). Known for its feminist themes, the song became one of the band's bigger hits, peaking at No. 22 on the UK Singles Chart, No. 18 on the US ''Billboard'' Modern Rock Tracks chart, and No. 15 on the Canadian ''RPM'' Alternative 30 chart. The song appeared in the video game NCAA Football 06. Background "Ladykillers" was described as a Britpop track and "a punky shot of Blondie-esque new wave". Lacking the reverb-indebted sound of the band's previous material, the track opened with "attention-seizing circular melody and spunky vocals" from lead vocalist Miki Berenyi. AllMusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine said that it was influenced by "the direct, jagged pop of Elastica", but the band were annoyed by what Berenyi called "stupid Elastica comparisons". Berenyi confirmed that the second and third verses of th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
