Listen

This week's objet d'eBay, a copy of the 1984 (now honorary Dr.) Feargal Sharkey single "Listen to Your Father," offers an interesting lesson that was probably not part of the original artistic vision. Despite the title, the biggest bass beat comes down on the phrase. "I bet you don't listen to your father." That phrasing is set amid a video that falls flat, a bunch of people doing nothing at all and smiling through it.



So, listen to dad (not Sharkey)so you don't come up with such a blah mess, unless he gets into his head some really idiotic idea like showing you in a sex tape to his friends as a way to defend your innocence on a charge of rape.
