I still like Big Wave more as well, but why does any song have to be 'better' than any other song?

Why does it make sense to compare it to "Big Wave"?

And I don't think it's better than "Big Wave". Probably better than "Supersonic".
We won't know until we have the album, but I'm guessing because of the "obligatory fun song / worst song on the album" function it's going to have.

If I have time to listen to one song before I, say, head into the office, I'd rather listen to Corduroy than Big Wave.

I agree that they don't have to be. I wouldn't have compared the two but I get they are both supposed to be "fun" songs so that's why they are getting grouped.

I type it every single time, and then sometimes I type

groejtes or goretjes

and then I have to correct that.
