It's interesting that Ubu made this record a couple of years before punk hit the US, and in some ways it's almost, structurally, a space rock song. The brilliant, sneering lyrics are what make it proto-punk. "The girls won't touch me 'cause I got a misdirection" and "Mom threw me out 'til I get some pants that fit", culminating in "I don't need a cure! I need a final solution!" Teenage history was made.
One of the best songs in the history of rock' n' roll.
What's amazing to me is how closely they recreate the original after all these years. UBU ROI !
