It's a kitchen-sink production, four and a half minutes of hugely imaginative psychedelic electro-pop. Sticking it right at the front of the fucking album is a supremely ballsy move - it's a testament to the strength of Oracular Spectacular that the rest of the record isn't a huge letdown. "Time To Pretend", meanwhile, is a genuine classic. Shitting hell, I think there's actually an oboe in there too. Astonishing.
*Songs. See, it's fucking plural. More than one.
** There is simultaneously not enough brass in today's popular music and vastly too much on any given Bruce Springsteen album.
