Great Big Singles: "Starlett Johansson"

The Oscars were Sunday, but one glamour queen missing from the red carpet was husky-voiced, large-lipped, fan-boy fantasy girl Scarlett Johansson. How could one ever get their Scarlett fix (barring watching Lost in Translation for the umpteenth time)?

Even Woody loves Scarlett:


How about loving Scarlett in song. No, I'm not talking about the rumoured recordings of Scarlett singing Tom Waits tunes, I'm talking about the amazingly awesome new single by The Teenagers, "Starlett Johansson." I think this song's been floating around for awhile now, but I honestly heard it for the first time this weekend-- and it made me giddy.


Apart from having really sweet lyrics, the Krautrockish throwback tune is actually really kick ass. With a lot of kitchy pop-culture referenced songs, it's the lyrics that stand out, but the Teenagers made sure they had the hot beats to back it up.

It will have you moving. It will have you grooving. "Starlett Johansson" is bound to leave you feeling sexy, sensually indifferent, and likely crushing on awesome old dudes.

The video is pretty cool as well.
