Top 10 Viral Tracks You May Have Missed
#3: “Pretty Pimpin'” by Kurt Vile on “b’lieve i’m goin’ down…” 2015
Give this Kurt Vile guy a listen. Like, right now.
Right this second. I’ll wait.
…
Ok. So “Pretty Pimpin'” is one of those tracks that you hear and kinda cock your head to one side in confusion. You ask yourself things like, “did… did I just hear that correctly?” Let me clarify for you: yes, yes you did. He is talking about seeing himself in the mirror, not recognizing the guy staring back, but thinkin’ the clothes are pretty flippin’ pimpin’.
I’m convinced “Pretty Pimpin'” is an insta-classic, probably the product of a drug-induced haze, and a song that you’ll send your friends and play on warm nights, cruisin’ with the windows down.
Not all of Kurt’s song lyrics are so weird, but pretty much all of his songs include the same pretty, intricate guitar licks that will have you humming along with a sweet smile on your face.
