SOTD: “Revenge of the Mouse Diva” – The Hellp

Song of the day – November 21, 2025 – “Revenge of the Mouse Diva” – The Hellp

• named after an essay on the American painter Karen Kilimnik
• a song that could only come from Chandler Ransom Lucy wearing a Blink-182 t-shirt
• an epic opening what is mythologized to possibly be The Hellp’s last record, Riviera
  • epic in the same way songs like “Wingspan” and “Confluence” are epic
• this track stuck out like a sore thumb, the coolest and most interesting of sore thumbs in a record that feels…. hmm, maybe boring compared to their previous work upon first listen

On a warm day
Touch the grenade
Barely breathing
Hardly speaking
When you live on the walk of fame
Don’t forget, you can walk away
They’ll get you
They will get you
They’ll get you
They’ll get you
They will get you if you let them
They’ll get you
They’ll get you
They will get you if you let them
On a warm day
Touch the grenade
Barely breathing
Hardly speaking
When you live on the walk of fame
Don’t forget, you can walk away
Just a dream
Just a dream
Just a dream that you know
Just a dream that you know
Just a dream that you know
Just a dream that you know
Just a dream that you know
Just a dream that you know
