I love songs that are musically chipper while being lyrically dark. The eighties were full of them (consider Men At Work’s “Who Can It Be Now?”) but this one is more recent. Fans of Doctor Who will recognize it as the veritable soundtrack to John Simm’s Master, which is appropriate; the Master has a manically cheerful exterior over a depraved and evil interior. Just like an eighties song!
Without further ado, here’s The Scissor Sisters with “I Can’t Decide.”
[Warning: there’s some profanity in this song, so use discretion.]
Eileen Maksym studied philosophy at Yale and theology at Boston College, and now uses both to write science fiction. Currently she is an academic nomad, following her astrophysicist husband around the world, two kids in tow. When not writing or kid wrangling, Eileen is a hopeless fangirl. She can be found on Twitter (@eileenmaksym) squeeing over her favorite shows, most of which involve famous detectives, dashing time travelers, and creatures that are never, ever referred to as zombies.
