Waterbodies’ New Song Is Catchy AND a Great ‘Home Alone’ Reference

Give 'em a whirl.

If the movie Home Alone existed today, it’d go like this:

[Macaulay Culkin calls mother’s cell phone]: “Hi mom, it’s me Kevin. You forgot me at home. OK, see you soon, bye.”

But fortunately, cell phones weren’t readily available in 1990 and we were blessed with the Macaulay Culkin classic, which taught us many important life lessons. Namely, that blow torching two guys and throwing them down a set of stairs and hitting them in the head with paint cans and nail guns and stuff will not kill them. It’ll just be hilarious. It also gave us some great, underrated one-liners, such as “Buzz’s girlfriend…woof!” and this one which Toronto three-piece Waterbodies have borrowed for a song title: “You’re what the French call ‘Les Incompétents.'"

Did we only listen to this song for the Home Alone reference? We’ll be honest with you. Yes, yes we did. But then we got sucked into it, since it has a hook as sharp as the thumbtacks in Daniel Stern's feet and will stick on you like the tar and feathers on Joe Pesci. Give 'em a whirl below.

Keep the change, ya filthy animals.
