Oompa Radar Lyrics
About
Genius Annotation
An otherworldly brass band that sounds like it could have come out of a demented circus-carnival alternates with Goldfrapp’s minimalist singing. The song features a flugel horn solo and a cuckoo clock that’s used to switch between tempos. It was inspired by Roman Polanski’s Cul de Sac.
