The Magnetic Fields - A Pretty Girl Is Like...

[1javierhardy]

You're absolutely wrong! Françoise Hardy is one ot the most beautiful women in the world.

[ClamsAnonymous]

I guess being in tune is unfashionable

[worldcupfever]

@ClamsAnonymous I think posting unnecessary shit about a smart song is worse.

[Tool9395]

@ClamsAnonymous obviously this song is parody - dipshit

"Hey pretty girl, you're like a violent crime."

Best pickup line ever!

-sounds like a Beirut:)

"A pretty girl is like a minstrel show....." Not PC!

[henryyydarkkk]

@nilssonisabella Yeah, that's the point. He's taking a traditional sounding love song but twisting it by comparing love to utterly vile things.

[benitodes]

Yeah, Françoise Hardy. That's her. But she ain't pretty. Not really. Just young.

[diamondjimlegend]

I'm so in love with you It's like I'm on the moon - I can't really breathe but I feel lighter!!!

How inspired is that!!!!!

Stephen Merritt you are a lyrical genius!

[6969gorilla]
