Fly me to the moon and take me up upon the stars Let me know what's going on on Jupiter and Mars People think that we're strange Stranger than the others People think that we're strange Lying in the flowers People think that we're strange People think that we're strange As if we never knew it People say that we're strange As if we never knew it People think that we're strange People think that we're strange Lying in the green grass People think that we're strange Because we like to climb trees People think that we're strange People think that we're strange Lying in the green grass Lying at the blue sky End of all our rainbows People think that we're strange And there's an ambulance on it's way With my initials on its' licence plate People think that we're strange

She read about me on the TVP's Yahoo group Oh my god! What did I do before email? I wrote letters Hey Dan, tell me your real age I said, baby...I'm timeless I used to hang around with Cleopatra and Napoleon And...get this..Noel Gallagher...yeah, I'm that old! Then she says, do you think I'm pretty? Oh yes, my darling, you are pretty Now, I don't suppose you've heard of Jonathan Richman Oh yes, I love him! Well, they all say that don't they babe Oh, I didn't mean to call you babe! Oh my god, I'm..ohh! What do I do? I call ladies babes, darlings, sweethearts...what do you call them? I know what I call ladies My father's advice Don't call them back early! I'm doing an interview today for some girl who's a little bit abused Tells me she writes for some monthly magazine called Dazed and Confused.. Yeah, that's me! If you could read my mind When there's no more love to go And there's no more love to show And it's true Can you read my mind? I said girl, got no idea where you come from But you look like some adonis Like some kind of female venus And do you know what she said to me?

about

Dan Treacy is back and he’s here to stay, as we can see by his intense musical activity in these last years. And here at Elefant we’re celebrating it with a new single that’s really a gift for our label. This limited edition vinyl can be seen as an unintentional ode to the nerd spirit, or an unforeseen tribute to the freak soul, from the perspective of a freethinking, spontaneous, rock n’ roll spirit that is the mind behind our beloved TV PERSONALITIES. So, the title track “People Think That We Are Strange” is an elusive call to flee from judgments (and prejudices), to let people express themselves and be themselves, just as they are and just as our protagonists do on this short and playful single of charming psychedelic pop, falling somewhere between the MODERN LOVERS of Jonathan Richman and the unpredictable craziness of PAVEMENT. The single is completed with the B side “A Glimpse of My Genius”, a hilarious improvisation that evokes a pop-punk drunk VELVET UNDERGROUND full of spontaneity, and even a wink to Lilly Allen! To reveal any more details would ruin the best surprise. Sink into the EP’s incredible lyrics as you let yourself float along with the galloping, unself-conscious riffs in an exercise that must be done at home, or in the bar, or lying in the grass… but always with the record player. Then who’ll say we’re strange?! Vinyl freaks of the world – Unite!
