I was caught between pleasant surprise and dismay to discover there is no thread for this great song (well, according to our reliable search engine, there isn't).
Well, I love Elastica, and here to underscore that sentiment is their biggest song, "Connection", which did very well in the US and the UK in the mid 90s. (#2 US Modern Rock, 1995). The opening riff is stolen from Wire's "Three Girl Rhumba".
I've always liked Justine's androgyny and wished more women aspired to present themselves in a similar visual context. Pared with the band's no-frills, tongue-in-cheek lyrical approach and angular pop, they were a fun, all-too-short-lived 90s phenomena worth remembering from time to time.
P.S. The show Trigger Happy TV used this as its theme.
