Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros



This song looks like a lot of fun. The recorded version is even more joyous, filled with kind of sounds people only make when they are intent on keeping things as ridiculously happy as they are. It's the country tinge that makes it so surprisingly gleeful, because the only dances you could do would be a little embarrassing, and rather out-of-place in any city in which I've lived. But that's part of what makes this song so damn alluring - the idea that you could head off and find a new home elsewhere, somewhere that sounds like this.

I've never heard a song by these guys before, but I quite like this one. That performance made me smile. Their enthusiasm was just outrageous.
