as is often the case with the catchiest songs, the lyrics take a backseat to infectious melodies. kaiser chiefs’ “ruby” falls into this category. so for hours after hearing it, i keep repeating, involuntarily, “ruby ruby ruby ruby…. do ya, do ya, do ya, do ya?” and that is all i can recall.
i absolutely love the song, and the under-construction miniature city in the video is just as fun. i wasn’t really a fan of kaiser chiefs before this (i wasn’t terribly taken with their first album), but i’m glad they’ve turned things around. it turns out they are actually as good as people said they were.
