Which would you rather be: The Beatles or The Rolling Stones? Canadian new-wave indie mainstays Metric pose the biggest question of the past 40 years in their new single, "Gimme Sympathy."
Their answer -- which you'd think would be implied in the title, as it simultaneously references two Rolling Stones songs ("Gimme Shelter" and "Sympathy For The Devil") -- is confused by the fact that the lyrics contain the line Come on baby play me something/ like "Here Comes The Sun." So what's the answer? Who would you rather be?
Either answer plays perfectly into the title of Metric's latest album, Fantasies, which debuted at #1 on Billboard's Top Heatseekers chart.
Watch the Frank Borin (Good Charlotte, Story Of The Year)-directed video for "Gimme Sympathy," in which the band takes over a blown-out disco with irresistible hooks and an army of kids.
