Notes: The track shifts from a catchy, White Stripes-esque riff and child-like melody to an aggressive, in-your-face splatter of sound with grooving elements and fun details like call-and-response. Fuzz guitar and raw energy create a high-impact listening experience with contrasts that build tension.
