What Did You Expect From the Vaccines?, 2011
Written by Justin Young, Árni Árnason, Pete Robertson and Freddie Cowan
I've never heard of this indie rock band, even though they had the biggest selling debut of the year and they have sold two million records. This song is about Danish model Amanda Nørgaard; specifically, the model as seen by a hormone-addled young boy who falls in love with her picture. "Great Danish cheekbones / Teenage hormones / Young complexion." Luckily, at least a semblance of sanity comes through: "Her mind's made up, she don't want to go steady / She's only seventeen, so she's probably not ready, " Performed at whiplash speed, all franic energy like the Buzzcocks or the Libertines. Great stuff!
