Video added at VH1! SPOON - The UnderdogProducer(s): Jon Brion Writer: B. Daniel Publishers: various Label: Merge Records "The Underdog" is a detour from the rest of Austin indie rock band Spoon's sixth album, "Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga," and one of its most commercially approachable tracks since the piano-driven "The Way We Get By" from 2002's "Kill the Moonlight." Producer Jon Brion makes his only appearance on this single. It sounds deliciously polished alongside the remainder of the disc, which debuted at No. 10 on The Billboard 200 in July. Spacious, stripped-down verses build to a ska-like brassy chorus steered by snare, tambourine and what sounds like a cruise-ship horn. Britt Daniel's serrated voice boasts of the underling aiming to defeat the Establishment -- "You've got no fear of the underdog, that's why you will not survive" -- before the band bursts in with a celebratory shower of bright acoustics, hand claps and horns catchy enough to give the track an ironic twist on its title. - Sarah Kingsbury |
