Bring yourself back to 1996. Little Megan was bopping around at the grand old age of 2 and completely ignoring this song because, hey. I was 2. But I love it now and although to me, it sounds more 70s then 90s, it's an absolute tune. Throughout there are some pretty strange sound effects if you listen closely, like an old record player scratching a little and a sci-fi sounding instrument playing in the back, but it all makes for a pretty weird and wonderful track.
For some weird reason, I love the way that the girls are dancing in the video too. It's all tres James Bond-esque.
There's something about the odd sound that always gets it stuck in my head and it's because a friend (surprising me with her flawless musical taste yet again. When will I learn?) tweeted the lyrics that it's been in my head since last night. Thanks, Emily.
The strange deep wooden xylophone that makes up a good proportion of the music mixed with the leads slightly strange vocals makes me think of Latino music and makes it a really bizarre science fictioney-latinoey-jazzy track that just. Won't. Leave. Me. Alone.
And yes, it's very right. The Female of the species is more deadly than the male ;)
Favourite Lyrics :
Frankenstein and Dracula have nothing on you.
Jekyll and Hyde join the back of the queue.
The female of the species is more deadly than the male.
Oh she wants to conquer the world completely,
But first she'll conquer me discreetly.
The female of the species is more deadly than the male.
