Certain Songs #679: Imperial Teen – “Pig Latin”

October 24, 2016 by Jim Connelly

imperial-teen Album: Seasick
Year: 1996

On the shortlist of Prettiest Song Ever Recorded, Indie Pop division, “Pig Latin” is one of a few excellent songs on Imperial Teen’s amazing 1996 debut, Seasick.

Founded by Faith No More’s keyboardist, Roddy Bottum, along with Will Schwartz, Jone Stebbens and Lynn Perko, Imperial Teen’s half-boy, half-girl, half-gay, half-straight multi-instrumentalist lineup resulted in music that was utterly unique.

Imperial Teen – Seasick

December 31, 1996 by Jim Connelly

(Slash/London)

Finally, a band that took to heart the pop seminar that was the Breeders’ Last Splash. On one hand, it’s so weird that it’s pop music in context only, and on the other, you suddenly that they created their own context, and revel in the pop. This all goes hand in hand with the words, all full of boy/boy lust and smack and regret yet often ending with the whole band chanting things “I like you I like you I like you . . .” or better yet, this offer: “Let’s stop and order pancakes/I don’t mind sitting down.”
