2. What does Walking On Sunshine sound like?
Walking On Sunshine sounds like the excrement of a cheap-beer-drinking, street-food-eating, American backpacker after two weeks in Thailand, that has been spread like jam on hot toast. It is vile excrement, an abortion, finger-nails-running-down-a-blackboard unbearable. Not just a car crash but a multi-car pile up with significant casualties and young children involved. If this was an attempt to evoke genuine disgust, shock and horror then it succeeded in spades. Walking On Sunshine is the sound of a stranger vomiting everything out and they are down to dry heaves and bile. There is no justification for this shit stain on humanity existing, it is a cacophony of noise, discordant, incongruous and jarring. This should have been aborted at the stage of conception, late term or with coat wire hangers in an alley; it just has no good reason to exist. Jesus wept on the cross because he knew one day Reel Big Fish would play Walking On Sunshine. It's not very good, listen to Beer instead.
