about

The Foxies’ particular brand of ebullient pop music has always depended on a certain degree of raucous enthusiasm—the sense that singer Julia Lauren would be jumping up and down on the bed and belting these tunes out alone in her room if there weren’t a studio mic in front of her. That infectious sensibility shows no signs of dissipating: Borrowing as much from glam as from rock, the trio has again mined mischievously anthemic gold in the frenetic veins of “Screws,” the Nashville-based group’s latest single. “The liquor on my shelf is makin’ faces at me,” Lauren sings, right before the Incredible-Hulk-goes-jogging thump of the beat kicks into a refrain so perfectly calibrated to high-energy, sugar-rush pop, it feels like it’s always existed. A classic celebration of embracing your idiosyncrasies, the track hearkens back to Warped Tour-era Katy Perry, bubbly and devilish in equal measure with an avowed goal of getting every kid (and inner kid) yelling along in gleeful recognition of feeling overwhelmed—and being okay with that. [Alex McLevy] AV Club Review

lyrics

My screws are loose I think that I

Swallowed a few in late July



Or maybe back when I was five

Cuz I’ve never been like all of the other guys

Or anybody else

I’m talking to myself

The liquor on my shelf is making faces at me



My screws are loose, I know that I

Got more to lose before I die

Ohhhh blah!



I bummed myself some rollerblades

So I could learn to roller skate

Oh

Just like I did when I was ten

Now both my wrists are broke again

Ohhhh

It’s a quarter life crisis

I’m talking to myself

The liquor on my shelf is making faces at me



My screws are loose, I know that I

Got more to lose before I die

Oh

I’m losing my shit

My screws are loose, it’s not a drill

Don’t wanna take your crazy pill

Ohhhhhh blah!



My eyes sometimes hurt when I lie

Awake in my bed I don’t mind

"Bee bee ba ba doo

Bee bee ba ba doo"

In my head all the time, I don't mind



My screws are loose, I know that I

Got more to lose before I die

Oh

I’m losing my shit

My screws are loose, it’s not a drill

Don’t wanna take your crazy pill


Ohhhhhh blah!
