Fully Sick and Tired, the second single from Smoked Salmon’s forthcoming album ‘Totally Sick’ differs from the previous single and the rest of the tracks in a couple of ways:
It was written and composed by Kim and the band specifically for the album.
Rather than being about sickness or medicine like all of the other tracks, it’s about that great Aussie tradition of ‘taking a sickie’ ie enjoying simultaneously the pleasures of not being sick and not working.
Perhaps it’s not strictly true to say that it’s not about medicine as there is probably no better remedy for the ailment of drab workaday life than the sickie.
But enough of what it isn’t! It is a solid slab of rock with pop hooks to boot and a nice line in dry spoken word delivery for an interlude! What more could you possibly want?!
