I'd Like a Wombat for a Pet

So I mentioned yesterday that Husband turns on the television every morning for me...

On this particular morning he switched it up and turned it to MTV's Breakfast Show.

From my nook in the dining room, I heard this kicky tune that seemed vaguely reminiscent of The Kooks, who I love for a variety of reasons, so I ran around the corner to see who it was...



Sure they are cute boys with floppy hair who have named themselves after a marsupial, but best of all, check out that enunciation. Their mothers (and theater teachers) must be so proud...

This is the song The Wombats would like to dance to with you....



But this is my favorite remake...It's by a group called Nouvelle Vague, who remade New Wave songs in a bosso nova style...
