The Moldy Peaches, 2000
Written by Kimya Dawson & Adam Green
A lo-fi indie (defined loosely; it's got 98 million listens on Spotify and was featured heavily in Juno) cutesy love song, with half-sung, spoken traded verses over sparse instrumentation. Is it twee? Oh, it defines twee. "Here is the church and here is the steeple / We sure are cute for two ugly people." Or, to Kimya: "Don Quixote was a steel driving man / My name is Adam, I'm your biggest fan." Juvenile? Yes (especially the final, somewhat less cute, verse). But it's sweet in an oddball sort of way.
