Critique on overly sensitive people. An instrumental version of this song is being considered for use on a comedy TV show. We are interested in what style and what bands this song reminds you of. Thanks for listening.

Nouveau retro pop rock music: Definitely rock, fairly pop, somewhat retro, and a bit more experimental. http://www.stonemarmot.com
Our music is the result of not watching TV for over 40 straight years. That's right! The person who writes all our songs hasn't had a working television in his house since January, 1982. Scary, isn't it! That could explain the somewhat retro, rather experimental feel to the music, which has been described as sounding somewhere between Buddy Holly, The Ramones, The B-52s, and They Might Be Giants. This CD is an object lesson in how warped and depraved a television-starved mind can get. And that's not all! To make matters worse, since no self-respecting human would stoop low enough to play this stuff, he suckered four poor, innocent cartoon characters into recording his music. Cartoon characters have it tough enough as it is, with people laughing at them all the time, without having to be subjected to this! His poor, unfortunate victims, who refer to themselves collectively as Stone Marmot, are: Cindy: Guitars Sid: Keyboards, guitars, lead and backup vocals Sammy: Bass, lead and backup vocals Bruce: Percussion, backup vocals This quartet played their little paper hearts out as the ignoble fiend who created them and their music practically produced and engineered them to death. Therefore, for the sake of the cartoons, we hope you give their music a good listen and try to appreciate their tireless and selfless efforts. Please! Don't let this happen to you or someone you love! Be sure you and your loved ones receive a healthy minimum dose of television each and every day.

Lyrics
Jenny’s life is full of static Running scared on automatic Skeletons hide in her attic, screaming to burst free. Sammy’s life is not much better Goes from drought to stormy weather Ego crushed with just a feather. Sensitivity. Burdens light are burdens massive Made much worse by being passive Blossoming to hyperactive sensitivity. Blaming all on faceless others Desperate anger slowly smothers Overdriven by their utter sensitivity. Erin’s pace is super-frantic Hurry, hurry, drives her manic Running, sliding, verge of panic, about to climb a tree. Ollie ought to know much better Still he’s even worse the fretter Drowning as his seas get wetter. Sensitivity. Burdens light are burdens massive Made much worse by being passive Blossoming to hyperactive sensitivity. Blaming all on faceless others Desperate anger slowly smothers Overdriven by their utter sensitivity. (Instrumental break) Why does this sound oh, so Russian? Aching head must mean concussion Beaten senseless by percussion. Sensitivity. Amplifying every ripple One is two and soon is triple Imaginary fates that cripple sensibility. (Repeat first verse) Why must they exhibit so much sensitivity? Copyright 2003 A. Karpinski, BMI, all rights reserved

Reminds me of Zappa and the early Mothers of Invention - catchy rhythms, good lyrics and melodically atonal ( does that make any sense?)
