A week or so ago, you might remember a post about Swedish pop princesses Lucky Lucky Pigeons, appealing for anyone, anyone to come forward with a copy of their (should be) seminal works Happy Birds Day and Bird Flu. Thankfully, dreams can come true and yesterday, my wish upon a star was answered in the form of a comment on the original LLP post:
Thank you for the beautiful post! I cant help thinking it’s so strange that you’re writing those words about our little teenage dreams and hopes, but still it feels great to be reminded. Thanks!! I actually found about 10 copies of ‘Bird flu’ next to my desk after reading this, and of course you should have the songs. I’m including the first EP as well.. Hope this works:

So there you are, go ahead and download some of the most underrated pop music from the entirity of MySpace. I’d forgotten quite how many remixes of ‘Who smells marshmallows’ there were included, but they’re all entirely listenable. Apart from the obvious, highlights include ‘Make Money Money’, a bizarre telling of a love story based in a Supermarket that plonks along with the bands trademark keyboard riffs and the incredible Casio-sponsored ‘Lucky Song’, which features the familar refrain ‘Lucky Lucky Pigeons are we’ and the line ‘When you hear us play our music/You remember it ’til you’re dead’. They’re probably right, too
An honorable mention goes to ‘N to the Ice’ which has probably the best chorus of all time:
‘With your Rock and Roll tees you look like a duck
And your lucky lips that sing:
Quack Quack
The way you swing your fringe on the stage
It fills me up with love
Quack Quack’
