<p>"Don't you lie to me" is hooyoosay's cartoony new single. <br />It evokes comedy, crazy movies and video games. <br />The fun vibe is felt straight from the intro, which is a sort of chiptune techno riff that sounds like an electronic super kazoo. <br />When the vocal comes in, its cartoony character is felt immediately, and the playful spirit of the song is confirmed further on by the cheesy but amusing toy organ solo, almost saying "Me? Lie? No... or maybe ... just a ... just a little white lie". <br />The production evokes this old school europop sound, reminiscent of the early days of MTV, and perfectly fits the context of marrying a modern dance beat to a standard 12-bar rock 'n' roll scheme. <br />For "Don't you lie to me" is in origin a blues song, written by Hudson Whittaker. <br />Eh, blues, ... for a fun song?!? <br />Yep! These old blues lyrics often did have an underlying sense of humor! Really.</p>

And many more. At some point. <br />Who was there then? <br />Who was singing? <br />Who were playing? <br />Who was pushing the buttons? Totally irrelevant. <br />Who's been sleeping here? Nailed! Got it! <br />Some schizo just sober enough to safeguard the MP3. <br />Bluesy country soft-rock vaudeville-pop. Cheesy. Comedyish. Confusing. <br />What is this? The alternative to alternative. Finally. <br />The lyrics. What's the tale? What's the guy trying to say? Written by Jagger. <br />Good. Some nonsense makes sense.</p>
