"AAAAAH HA HEEEEEEY HAAAAAH". That battle cry, colliding with your ears, 2 seconds after a gentle guitar strum that would to a completely new listener might have momentarily made them think they were listening to a completely different record. The tone is set early and very well for the album, and that yell is one particular reason why "Prince Charming" is an iconic song. I was excited to listen to the rest of this album as my first of the 1001 albums to listen to. This spirit of propulsion, fun, ingenuity and delicious rebelliousness continues throughout the record, rolling through "Goody Two Shoes", "Stand & Deliver", "Antmusic" and more.
