MP3: The Pipettes: "The Burning Ambition of Early Diuretics"

Not sure what, if anything, this song has to do with urinating, unless it's indirectly referring to being so very in love with someone that you start pissing yourself.

In any case, this cover of a tune by Monster Bobby (who plays guitar in the Cassette, the Pipettes' backing band) is a typically delicious Pipettes confection, floating on organ and xylophone and ba-ba-ba male backing vocals. Love, love, love, love, love.

"The Burning Ambition of Early Diuretics" is one of the B-sides to the latest Pipettes single, "Judy", which came out on Memphis Industries last month.

In other Pipettes news, their song "Dirty Mind" was featured in a recent episode of "Grey's Anatomy". McDirty!

The group is on tour in Europe until mid-November. On December 23, they'll play a Christmas show in London. We're hoping for red and green polka dot dresses.
