43. FUIJYA & MIYAGI -VENTRILOQUIZZING
Critics slagged this one off for being pretty safe, predictable and cliched. Well, Fuijya and Miyagi certainly use cliche in their lyrics:
"I'll beat you black, I'll beat you blue"
or
"You don't know which side your bread is buttered on"
or
"You go up and go down like a yo-yo"
or
"It's no good crying over spilt milk"
However, they sing about Taiwanese leather boots and minestrone soup, so I don't see this as dull, but comfortable and inviting. It's kitsch. That might make you want to vomit now you read that, but really Fujiya & Miyagi have the skills as producers to create a great jam. Though the lyrics are cheesy and greasy; fat tastes good. Audio-calories.
The songs are not cluttered. They're tight. 4 albums in and they're sitting pretty. So I give it to you, though not everyone's in agreement: this high-fat blog Spaghetti Blogonese puts this record right on the menu.
