Tweedlers’ Jukebox Song of the Week: How Bizarre
There are some songs that you listen to and it seems like only days/weeks since you first heard them. Then you reflect that no, it’s actually 17 years! The Tweedlers were just teenagers when this first hit the charts (so life and all its hormones probably did seem pretty bizarre!) but 17 years on it remains just as appealing. It’s pretty difficult to be glum when listening to this boppy tune and if you’re already cheery, just wait for your smile to get bigger. The Tweedlers are a happy duo this week.
However, there’s a sad side to this amazing single as the lead singer, Pauly Fuemana, died “following a protracted battle with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy” (Wikipedia), aged just 40 (also see The Guardian’s obituary). Having loved this song for over half of my life now, it seems all the more shocking that he died just 8 years older than I am now.
