Your Love Belongs Under a Rock - The Dirtbombs

Your Love Belongs Under a Rock - The Dirtbombs
2:20
Ultraglide In Black, 2001
Written by Mick Collins

This song happens to be the only one of this album that is not a cover.  This song is soul music, but revved up and mixed with garage rock and punk sensibilities for the modern palate.  Its message is one familiar to soul and R&B: the narrator's love turned out to do him wrong, bat eyes at other guys, make a fool of him.  "You're always tryin to get the best of me / Tryin' to make me feel small."  '60s surf guitar riffs and "yeah yeah" choruses keep the tempo fast and the sound a wall.  This band should be as famous as the White Stripes.
