Shuttlecock from Pish Posh by Vanilla
“Shuttlecock” is the ninth Vanilla song in the “Pish Posh” collection. Like its namesake, it’s fast, sleek, and could hit you right in the crotch if you’re not paying attention.
We like to do a proper powerpop song on each of our records—it’s the genre that brought us and we need to do something jangly with all that Rickenbacker, Gretsch, and Vox equipment!

Lyrics
She’s up and down it’s all around
The shuttlecock’s all over town
Watch her dart and by and by
She turns hello into goodbye
She's just a blur
There’s no stopping her
Her hyperbolic tendencies
Will only bring you to your knees
East, west, south, and north
She's always flitting back and forth
The bough is breaking
It's so bourgeois
The noise she's making
Is ah, ah, ah ,ah!
Across the net and through the sky
The frightening speed will terrify
You will stand in awe and shock
Can you return the shuttlecock?
