Stuck On Repeat: Time To Give It Up For Rachel Sweet
Rachel Sweet’s “Cuckoo Clock,” which she recorded when she was a fresh-outta-Akron 16-year-old, has a cameo by Lene Lovich and lyrics that are either sorta creepy or completely nonsensical, depending on your frame of mind; it’s also got a crazy ability to affix itself to a listener’s brain, despite (or maybe because of?) its simple, almost-monotone chorus. We’ve replayed this 1978 track about 10 times today, and we’re probably going to double that tally by the time today’s over.
