The Frank & Walters - this is not a song

A bit shambolic true, but also quirky and rather geeky. "This is not a song" was quite iconic, at least for a while in the early 1990s. Technically its a bit of a mess but the lyrics help the song transcend that, the song genuinely has charm and makes you smile with it as well as the clever lyrics, even if its hardly sung in key.

Of the b-sides, things all get a bit early 90s generic indie pop. You can probably guess how they sound: fast dancey beats, jingle jangle, a bit of half-hearted noise. They can help a few minutes of your life pass by agreeably anyway.
