This song went viral on social media last summer, and mainstream media picked up on it by autumn, but I didn’t hear it until last week, and it cracked me up.
Wet Leg is Rhian Teasdale, who sings this tune, and Hester Chambers, two friends who live on the Isle of Wight, just off England’s southern coast. Teasdale wrote the lyrics — those of a certain age will recognize the “buttered muffin” quote from Tina Fey’s seminal film “Mean Girls” — while lying on a chaise longue that belonged to Chambers’ grandfather, and they shot the video themselves.
They’ve released three more videos since in advance of their eponymous album, which drops on Friday. “Wet Dream” was released back in September.
