Alt-Nation has been playing “Darling Buds of May” by Brother a lot lately. It’s a really catchy song, and I can’t get it out of my head. Here’s the video:

Brother is a British group from Slough, the same town that The Office is set in. They have an album coming out in August. It will be interesting to see if they’re able to follow this single up with a strong LP.

Pictures of the group bring to mind a question PJ and I have often asked: “Why is the drummer always the hottest member of every group?” Frank Colucci is Brother’s drummer; he’s definitely hot!

Here are the lyrics:

I burnt the kitchen down
You told me ooo
We've got to get this right, right now
Uh oh oh

You tried to shut me up
I told you ooo
We've got to get this right, right now
Uh oh oh

And when you walk, and when you walk
I feel better now

And when you walk, and when you walk
I feel so much better now

Because her birthday's in May
It is what it is, It is what it is

Because her birthday's in May
It is what it is, It is what it is

I heard police last night,
Their sirens ooo
We've got to get this right, right now
Uh oh oh

They tried to pick me up,
I told them ooo
We've got to get this right, right now
Uh oh oh

And when you walk, and when you walk
I feel better now

And when you walk, and when you walk
I feel so much better now

Because her birthday's in May
It is what it is, It is what it is
