*Listens to samples*
Needs less strings.

It was a slow day
And the sun was beating
On the soldiers by the side of the road

# Even Paul Simon's pretentiousness is masked by the powerful jollity of an accordion.

It's like Coldplay with a fanny.

that tell me how 'amazing' it all is. And my pocket money this week went on Caro Emerald anyway.

# Yes - I understand that there's already been oversaturation on TV and radio.
I've only encountered her stuff a couple of times - once on Later With Joolz Holland, and once on some telly programme.

Mrs V and I tend to listen to Radio Bore and watch cooking telly, so don't see too much pop stuff.

# Can't hear the words because of the INTENSE EMOTION
I heard "are they like the bad girls harning", whatever harning means. Turns out she's singing "I hear you like the bad girls honey". This would be excusable in death metal, but she's no Trey Azagthoth.
Besides, that's not very high-quality schizophrenia, it's just wailing about a relationship. It's not like she suddenly requests nine packets of cigarettes and a shoe tree and accuses you of having been replaced by your exact clone.

# I've heard it too much, so it just grates with me.
And that pathetic clapping over the last chorus makes me cringe.

Nothing much against her personally, somewhat incongruously she seems like a rather jolly sort in real life.
