GP's Song of the Day: The Breeders

By Graeme Whitfield on Aug 5, 09 02:32 PM

There are certain songs that you find yourself singing along to even though you haven't got a clue what they mean; one of these is Cannonball by The Breeders.

The lead single from their 1993 album Last Splash - and NME's single of the year - Cannonball has a twisty bassline, some great guitar and then a great tune on top.

But they lyrics? "Spitting in a wishing well/Blown to hell crash/I'm the last splash." That would appear to be nonsense but I've still sung it at the top of my lungs many a time...
