I Only Fucked You As A Joke - Childbirth
from the album It's A Girl (2014)
Rock and Roll becomes art when it is a short, emotive outburst. As The Clash said in Hitsville UK, "The band walked in and knocked them dead in 2 minutes 59." Nobody did this better than the punks. Think about The Ramones, The Sex Pistols, and Richard Hell. It was raw and honest and sometimes left you a bit uncomfortable. Sometimes it made you smile.
Hats off to Childbirth. This three piece all-female punk band from Seattle blows the lid off contemporary restraint with I Only Fucked You As A Joke. At 1 minute 45 seconds in length, it is short, loud, and on message. It is also the best song title I have heard in ages.
Smacking down some guy who was probably a jerk, this song is infectious. The central riff, the drumbeat, and snarky vocals all add to the charm. My favorite line is "I thought it would be funny, but it wasn't."
I hope you enjoy this song.
