For a while I thought Marnie Stern was a Japanese band (or at least a band with a Japanese singer along the lines of Deerhoof or Asobi Seksu) due to the staccato, choppy-in-a-good-way quality of the sound and the high pitch of the vocals.
But no, Marnie Stern is a most decidedly white New York "experimental rocker." And this track sounds like what would happen if you sped up an American Idol-appropriate pop song and took out large chunks of it to save time. Appropriately enough, the video is a hilarious retelling of Rocky boiled down to three minutes (the actual music doesn't start until about 40 seconds in).
I can't tell exactly what she's singing (except for that bit about "ruler of the world") but I'm inclined to agree with whatever it is regardless, I'm so inspired.
Marnie Stern
"Ruler"
This Is It And I Am It And You Are It And So Is That And He Is It And She Is It And It Is It And That Is That
