Wire’s lead singer, Colin Newman, often employs cryptic and abstract imagery in his songwriting. The verses describe various fragmented scenes and concepts, including sunburn, smart bets, dressed pints, and models. The chorus repeats the phrase “Money spines paper lung kidney bingos organ fun,” further adding to the enigma of the lyrics.\n\nWhile the lyrics carry a deeper meaning, the composition of the song itself contrasts with its profound themes. “Kidney Bingos” has a remarkably catchy melody and a clean, modern production style. This juxtaposition between the mainstream sound and the unconventional lyrics creates an intriguing dynamic. It challenges the listener to reflect on the disparity between appearances and deeper truths.\nhttps://tinyurl.com/59ykjd9k\n\nWire played this track live in the KEXP studio in 2017.\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yq_4Lythm_A", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }{ "id": 3413899, "uri": "
