Pop Playlist: Garbage: “Cherry Lips (Go Baby Go!)”

A blend of rock and synth, with touches of mid-century pop, the 2001 song, “Cherry Lips (Go Baby Go!)” by Garbage surely makes for an interesting listen. Although the band’s familiar, no-holds-barred rock-guitar riffs tear through, there are sweet-sounding production elements (handclaps; church bells) and Shirley Manson’s (girl-group) vocal delivery that allow the track to feel reminiscent of a bubble-gum song from the ‘60s… gone wild.
