Song title: Your Arms Around Me
Artist: Jens Lekman
Year: 2006
Why I like this song:
This is indeed a bizarre song: The only instrument is a ukulele. It is delivered in a deadpan tone. And the lyrics spin a narrative that starts off romantic but then takes a sudden turn for the humorous. Naturally, such a combination would make an immediate appeal to my sense of humour.
It should be noted that this particular recording is an early version of the song. The following year, Jens released an album with a different version of this song where he changed the best line (an act I have never really forgiven him for)
