The new single “Jazzercise ’95” off of Cherub’s debut album 100 Bottles is a reminder of why we all fell in love with their electro-pop sounds, but it’s the bawdy love story they communicate that makes it special.
In all of our series of lovers and sexual escapades, there’s always that one person. You try to avoid them but when chance or fate brings you together, there’s a feeling that consumes you.
The history of lies, cheating and heartbreak should be enough to keep you apart, but even through it all you can’t escape the primal feelings of lust and physical attraction.
The introduction verse before the breakdown serves as a mental checklist where you’re crossing off each item before you reach the inevitable conclusion.
I love your dirty secrets. I know you couldn’t keep them. Your ass is hard believing and that I know.
You put that all aside and baby girl you’re so damn fine that I forget all of lies that you have told.
I know that this won’t last and I’ll forget your dirty past, so for now I’ll have to put those thoughts on hold.
Because I’m living for the moment and all I want to do is, touch you one more time before I go.
Because you feel so good.
Cherub isn’t trying to tell you that giving in will make things right. They even remind you with the line, “The future is the present, you pretend that it’s a blessing – but it only seems to make our problems grow.”
But if it feels good, it can’t be wrong? Right?
