alt-J, Relaxer ยฉ AtlanticOn Wacky Wednesday, British indie-rock collective Alt-J gives us the kinky, naughty โ€œHit Me Like That Snare.โ€ ย 

Wacky Wednesday is reserved for an intriguing song or piece of music thatโ€™s out of the ordinary โ€“ definitely ear catching.ย  What better way to celebrate hump day, right? ย Letโ€™s get wacky on Wednesday, April 1, 2020 with an instrument lesson, shall we? Take it away Alt-J and totally โ€œHit Me Like That Snare!โ€

Alt-J โ€“ a Mac command for a triangle (โˆ†) as well as a critically acclaimed, British indie-rock band.ย  In 2017, the band returned with its third studio album, Relaxer.ย  The collective definitely showcases their sexual side on the kinky โ€œHit Me Like That Snare.โ€ย  Yes, this record is tailor-made for Wacky Wednesday, sigh! โ€œHit Me Like That Snareโ€ is risquรฉ, but the give Alt-J credit for the concept. Chocked-full of energy and swagger, sex โ€˜dominatesโ€™ โ€“ no pun intended! On the first verse, Joe Newman sings:

โ€œIโ€™m fucking loose, youโ€™re gorgeous, I donโ€™t care
Come closer, baby, slap me like that snare.โ€

Ultimately, โ€œHit Me Like That Snareโ€ record is totally over the top.ย  Even the suggestive moments are nasty to say the least.ย  At the end, Newman continues to flex unapologetic lustfulness, bitingly singing:

โ€œWe are dangerous teenagers
We are dangerous teenagers
Fuck you, Iโ€™ll do what I want to do.โ€

Yeah, that snare drum is, um, something else, and quite oversexed. Worth noting, โ€œHit Me Like That Snareโ€ appeared earlier on the playlist 13 Entertaining Songs That Reference Musical Instruments.
