At first I wasn't a huge Spoon fan but now they have me wondering what other gems are they hiding. "You Got Yr. Cherry Bomb" by Spoon, is one very catchy song. I found myself tapping along to the beat and doing a little office chair dance. Silly as it may seem, I am liking this song the more I listen to it.
What is so appealing to me is the the song layout. It sounds like a Motown revival song. If I listen to just the music and shut out the man singing, I can almost picture Stevie Wonder singing the song and playing along with piano at hand.
The kicker in the song? The awesome xylophone or vibraphone playing during the whole song. Only Spoon can pull that off. :)
Yes, the song is that cool! Cool enough to be ranked #16 by Rolling Stone's list of the 100 Best Songs of 2007. Way to go Spoon!

Spoon is one of those bands who has about 1/2 total gems of songs, and 1/2 just kind of...meh. I discovered this when listening to their contributions to the "Stranger Than Fiction" soundtrack. Everything they do is catchy in some way, with upbeat guitar parts & bouncy vocals, but often that can get tiring. Then they come out with a fantastic song like "I Turn My Camera On" & change your mind entirely...
