Recommendation

Should you sing it?

Icky Thump rewards a singer who knows the lyric well enough to focus on the lyric’s point of view. Its structure offers more changing verse text than repeated hook material, while the words have room to shape the lines without cramming them. Plan to carry the verses yourself; this is not rated as a dependable full-room singalong.
