We Are Scientists - Chick Lit
Published Tuesday, 6th May, 2008 at 2:08 PM
Self-proclaiming themselves "officially as big as Madonna", after scoring a Number 11 position in the UK album chart with this year's 'Brain Thrust Mastery', We Are Scientists are to release 'Chick Lit' as their next single.
The band say of the song, "'Chick Lit' tells the story of a young girl named Agatha who one day, while collecting fire wood to blend into an immune-system boosting power shake, encounters a magic well. She knows the well is magic because it smells like Axe, and so she nervously calls three desperate wishes into its still black depths."
"There isn't a lot of room for storytelling in a three minute pop song, unless you're Bright Eyes, so that's where the story ends, but we definitely intend to pick it up in another song somewhere down the line. For now, try to revel in the promise of this initial set-up."
The video sees Keith and Chris as cattle herders in the Old West, just outside of Detroit and is a homage to 'The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly' and corny horror-flick 'A Nightmare on Elm Street, Part III: The Dream Warriors'.
