2000 Great Songs #1513: Wishing He Was Dead
The Like were a Los Angeles all-women band from the mid 00s/early 10s who managed a few LPs and singles. And it's easy to dismiss them for their lineage--members included daughters of everyone from Elvis Costello 's drummer to a Geffen executive--but they were actually pretty fun. 2010's Release Me had plenty of wicked pop tracks, most notably opener "Wishing He Was Dead." It's got a very retro-60s girl group vibe, and sounds like it was perfectly designed for an Austin Powers soundtrack pastiche of swingin' 60s London. Not gonna change your life or anything, but tons of fun to throw onto a mix. Live: Live acoustic: See the entire Top 2000 to date in a sortable database !
