Black Kids "Look At Me (When I Rock Wichoo)"
Tucked away as the closing number from the Black Kids‘ Partie Traumatic album, “Look At Me (When I Rock Wichoo)” might have been overlooked by listeners fatigued from all the incessant indie-disco thump, but it ultimately stands out as one of the collection’s best.
It’s vibe set to “permanent giddiness”, “Look At Me” unfolds as the soundtrack to the happy-go-lucky imagination of some ’80’s kid with it’s upbeat strut of cheesy synths and gleeful guitars. Squiggly-voiced Reggie Youngblood tries to muddle up the festivities with some more “can’t get the girl” woes (“You never want to give me some,” he pouts), but his party-killing contribution is needless when planted against the perky chantings of bandmates Ali and Dawn. “When the clock says stop/ We’re all gonna drop/ I don’t care if we get caught,” they infectiously pipe like the most spirited cheerleaders around, and with that, we could care less if Reggie ever makes it to third base with his crush.
