We are females in music
We want 2 be taken seriously
as artists
we will join the cause
we will Jimmy Jangle


I will allow u to Jimmy Jangle with me
but u must accept me as the queen of the Jimmy Jangles
In addition, 1 of u has to use an egg
which is an inferior instrument to shakey wakey
shimmy wimmy
shake shake shake
oingly boingly


I will shake the egg
filled with sand
and u will be the queen of the jimmy jangles

I will forfeit my tambourine
perhaps construct a maraca
or pretend to press some keys on the keyboard
We are females in music
We want to prove our musicianship
with progressive percussive instruments


We will have a girls only band meeting
and we shall
determine which songs sound the best with which instruments
Tambourines, eggs, maracas
We will write them down 2 remember them
in a Microsoft Word document called "Tambourine Set List.doc"
and each of us will get a copy upon the day of the show


This document will help us
2 become authentic singer song writers
'indie songstresses'
crafting our own songs
with this type of organization, we will soon play the harp like Joanna Newsom
or write a hit song, kinda like "Stay" by Lisa Loeb
or even "1-2-3-4" by the Feist

In addition
we will schedule 'thrift store shopping' days
to find cutesy retro vintage sunglasses, dresses, and miscellaneous accessories
to elevate our female brands

la la la
so free
jimmy jangling
tambourines
maracas
and eggs
2gether

I am Zooey Deschanel
I am the Queen of the Jimmy Jangle

She & Him pointlessly perform on Carson Daly even though they have already been on real talk shows
</embed>

From what I understand, Carson Daly's late night show is 'the absolute worst' slot in late night television. Many late night TV viewers usually opt for infomercials and soft porn as opposed to watching him interview C rate celebrities, and watching C rate bands perform. He used to be responsible for the 'late night television debuts' of many internet indie buzz artists, but now that Jimmy Fallon has cornered that market, Carson Daly's show is 'sorta useless.'

Many PR firms of indie buzzbands probably decline invitations to Carson Daly because 'no1 even watches it.' Feel like u sorta 'compromise ur credibility' when ur band is like 'ya, we wanna be on TV really bad. So many new markets available at 3 a.m.' [via hornie bros who get hard and buy Girls Gone Wild DVDs].

Not sure why She & Him decided to perform on Carsbro Daly, even though they have already been on every other 'real' late night talk show. Sorta a weird place to end up, but maybe they got confused and thought they were gonna be on MTV, Carson Daly's previous employer. Feel like 'being in heavy rotation' on MTV might sell u more albums. Maybe they thought they were gonna be interviewed on Total Request Live.

Is Carson Daly 'authentic'?
Is performing on Carson Daly sorta like performing at an empty gig?
Do u feel bad that Carson Daly doesn't have a 'studio' and just has to send camera men 'on location' to catch live performances?
Should Carson Daly 'be fired'?

Do u like Zooey's latest looks? Are you into her showing off her sweet indie bod in backless dresses?

Honestly just feels good 2 see Zooey Deschanel hopping around, jimmy jangling a tambourine again.

Performance and song seem mad forgettable. Everytime I hear She & Him, it sounds 'honkier and honkier' [via white people]. Feel like they could make their music more interesting by singing hateful slurs about minorities groups, particularly with Zooey Deschanel's froggy croonwave voice.

Do u know any1 who would go see She & Him live other than to 'see Ben Gibbard hanging out on the side of the stage getting hammered'?
Should She & Him's PR director be 'instantly fired' for letting their band appear on Carson Daly?
Is Carson Daly 'past his prime'?
Is this 'the end' of She & Him's album cycle?
Will Zooey Deschanel be in more indie movies to help out her band?
Will she 'kick out' the other bro in the band so she can market herself as a 'sex icon' [via Lady Gaga / Feist]?

We're the She & Hims

Wearing a cute lil dress

Jimmy Jangle
Goes the Tambourine
Shimmy Shangle

Took anti-anxiety medicine
so i wouldn't 'freak out' like that one time on Letterman
also glad we played a day time slot
so we don't have 2 be ambient

Jimmy Jangle
Goes the Tambourine
Shimmy Shangle
ring a ding ding

Coachella can u hear me?
Wearing cotton, light & breathable
Music festivals & cotton
the fabric of our lives'

*****
Is the Tambourine an authentic instrument?

Did Zooey Deschanel's songwriting career peak with the theme song for cotton?
