And it\u2019s a little too clean, it\u2019s got to be greasy.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Anyway enough talking about food!<\/p>\n<p>This song is about a date, it\u2019s got all the charm of a night out in the Queen Vic on a Monday night.<\/p>\n<p>Nods to things like like \u201ceau de weed and vape\u201d made me chuckle as well as a reference to KFC\u2019s 11 spices in the lyrics make this song very much a bit of a parody, even the little message from the environmental health dept with a notice to close down the establishment takes the comedy to another level.<\/p>\n<p>Music wise, this has got elements of ska, the chikka chikka gives it away as well as the chromatic chords, the cockney comedic timing works so well on this. It\u2019s probably one of my favourite tracks that\u2019s been delivered to the inbox this year.<\/p>\n<p>The Soap Company are a band &#8211; well actually no, that wouldn\u2019t be the best way to describe them it seems they are a collective.<\/p>\n<p>According to their twitter bio: \u201cChaos Is Order Yet Undeciphered.
