Comments on: The Ropes: Kitty Get Down [Video] http://www.fensepost.com/main/2009/03/20/the-ropes-kitty-get-down-video/ indie music blog Tue, 31 Jan 2012 13:00:56 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: Sam Murray http://www.fensepost.com/main/2009/03/20/the-ropes-kitty-get-down-video/comment-page-1/#comment-61291 Sam Murray Wed, 03 Feb 2010 21:45:24 +0000 http://www.fensepost.com/main/?p=2552#comment-61291 The song mostly struck me because of how twee and fey the vocal and melody is - the video has low-key charm too - it reminds me of the sort of music video I might try and get my younger brother to make . . . As for the musical influences, I guess its a little like Cyndi Lauper, late Roxy Music or whatever - theres piles of "new" new wave/eighties acts now too I guess, like Max Tundra from London. Also - the coy sexuality of the song is a little bit embarrasing. But I also like the self empowerment message.
