Humankind seems to be undergoing an epidemic of a general feeling of impending disaster. Is this a viewpoint that comes from comparative experience, or does it come from just taking a look around at the world? The new song from Sparks, "Nothing is as Good as They Say It Is," is told from the viewpoint of a newborn baby who encounters (waves hands around generally) all this and decides this is not a good place, and wants to go back to the womb less than a day after birth. Besides the depressing implications, or more so specifically because of them, it's rather funny. Really, can you blame a baby for being appalled at our modern world? Don't we all feel that way sometimes? The song is accompanied by a parade of cute crying babies in the video, but thankfully we don't hear their protests. The tune is a real banger. "Nothing is as Good as They Say It Is" is from Sparks' new album The Girl Is Crying In Her Latte, to be released May 26. -via Boing Boing
