OK, (hyuk, hyuk, hyuk) I googled "JEM" to find out a little more about the band, and ... boom! ... playdolls in so much pink it ruined my monitor.
Let's try this again ...

The poppiest song about surveillance society that I've ever heard. Cute sound, dark lyrics.

Quite - cute isn't the word for such a sweet face and voice  The 'spacesuit strip' video is very tasty, and there's also the ' small town retro' video for the same song. Neither uploaded in a decent resolution, sadly :( According to Wikipedia, she's from South Wales, which explains the Celtic good looks :). There are more pics and vids on the official website, but no music, sadly. |

Not very musical, to my ears.

I can't handle songs with the canned music track. I want musicians playing my music not programmers.

Wow, cool. I knew that it's from the Well-Tempered Clavier, and if I were home I could tell you which prelude or fugue it is! Actually, Bach did 2-3 variations of this.
I was SO impressed that Jem and/or the songwriter knew WTC well enough to do this little riff on Bach. But now I see, it's from the Swingle Singers. Ah well, at least the Swingle Singers were cool, right? :-)
Right you are! It's derived from Bach's Prelude & Fugue No. 12 in F minor, BWV 881.

I know songs and videos aren't always meant to go hand in hand but this one was particularly random...  To show she has a hot bod, would be my guess. |
