I Should Coco

I've always thought of these guys as the Monkees of the nineties: tongue-in-cheek songs and nonsensical musical behavior by a band that seems to not have a care in the world. I Should Coco doesn't really try to change that, but instead really drives it in with, among others, the hit Alright.

It's easygoing pop with not too difficult themes, but naively rhymed lyrics like in Caught By The Fuzz doesn't really do it for me (and I can't imagine why they used it s their first ever single, it's not reflecting the sound of the album at all).
But the majority of it isn't that bad actually. A huge chunk of it could be used as a soundtrack to a pretty good day.

[edit: after reading the review in 1001 albums... I can firmly state that I'm not the only one who thought they were reminiscent of the Monkees. Funny how that works...]
