My baby did the same with the song The Police "De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da". Tons of fun.

I credit part of that sentiment to the singer's voice, it annoys pretty fast.

Every song of theirs has a melody, whether or not you recognize them.  They may not necessarily be "great" melodies, but that's another matter.

I find it works the same for me. Maybe songs that stick with you after a first listen are too dependent on a catchy hook or processed with too much "glossy veneer" - overcompressed and so on. Maybe like a magazine cover model - at first glance nice to look at, but if you stared at that image long enough you would find a visual absence of character, detail, interest.

Few songs that I have enjoyed longer than a month have ever grabbed me at first. The grow on me like trees - just a seed at first.

After many listenings it has slowly grown on me to the point where this is a totally great song.

This happens a lot. A song I love from the start becomes tiresome shortly after a few listens. And songs I feel eh about to start become real favorites.

Though Arcade fire lacks the precision or complexity of many bands I like, they have an energy and style I find unique in modern bands.

Yes, I was thinking the same thing except exactly the opposite. These guys are getting away with murder if they are making any money.

Damn! I saw AF at MSG last summer.. the first show on august 4th and it blew my mind.  I had listened to the album a few times before the show but I never really noticed this song. BUT THEN!! Rococo really stood out as a mega-kick-ass-lift-you-ff-your-seat live number! MAN!! Every time I hear that I am transported back to that amazing concert standing right underneath Win's sweating rockstarness!

IMO this is the weakest song on the album.  I suppose this isn't too bad, interesting musically.  I just can't get into the lyrics and I really don't like the "Rococo rococo..." business.  It sounds like gibberish and I really hate gibberish in songs.  Radio Ga-Ga by Queen is another song with gibberish that I can't stand.  Don't know what it is...

Somebody at SongMeanings.com put it really well... interpreting this song as a commentary on the "hipster" culture.

"Always trying to stay one step ahead of popular culture has lead to an exhausting race in which there are no winners, only the realization that you have become an utterly shameful poseur. "

Although Arcade Fire is based in Canada, Win and Will Butler are actually American born and raised.
