Wolf Alice 'Moaning Lisa Smile'
This track was inspired by the band's favourite 8-year-old girl, Lisa Simpson. Singer Ellie Rowsell explained: "We wanted to create a Lisa-type character and follow her in a pursuit to happiness.

"Moaning Lisa Smile" is a song by English alternative rock band Wolf Alice. 

This track is from Wolf Alice's 'Creature Songs' EP, & was inspired by the band's favourite 8-year-old girl, Lisa Simpson.

Singer Ellie Rowsell explained: "We wanted to create a Lisa-type character and follow her in a pursuit to happiness. Although faced with obstacles in the shape of some nasty bitches, Lisa soon finds the group who make her feel like she belongs."

The video features the three male band members playing girls. "We're not trying to be funny. It's more that we make stories about girls sometimes but we don't have enough girls in the band to show that," Ellie Rowsell shrugged to Digital Spy.

"It's like when you see a primary school play and there aren't enough girls so a boy plays Rapunzel," bassist Theo Ellis added.

"Moaning Lisa" was the title of the sixth episode of The Simpsons' first season, and originally aired on February 11, 1990. The episode deals with Lisa's depression and her attempts to sublimate it by playing her saxophone.

The track was released on 3 April 2014.

The song reached number 9 on the Alternative Songs chart and was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance at the 58th Annual Grammy Awards.

lol after watching this a couple times, I just realized the guys in drag are actually the other members of Wolf Alice.

Jake Tyler

Dirthole Tribune

Loud then soft then loud then soft. Wait is it the 90s again?

This is good shit.  Music needs this these days.

keir farnum

The only problem with this song is it isn’t long enough!

Brice Beaulac

people have become so desensitized by today's music, anytime they hear a guitar they immediately have to make some connection to grunge or nirvana. If this sounds like nirvana than I'm the fucking queen of England.

Michael

I'll never be able to explain how cool these vocals sound to anybody.

Mateus de Oliveira

This song is still amazing

hotgirlsarehot

Reminds me of 90's Veruca Salt in terms of vocals and the guitar reminds me of Alice In Chains and a bit of Wolfmother.

I wish I'd been rescued like this when I was her age!

Lottie Morton

Ellie is so pretty

Justin Bishop

This must be my neighbours favourite song, he keeps banging on the wall for me to turn it up.

Jay Smith

Probably my favourite song of the millennium so far.

theclassicrock69

at 1:22 there's this bass drop that sounds like nothing over laptop or computer speakers, but when you put it in a car with decent bass, it's fucking immense.

Felix Fraser

I love this song as much as my mum!

Veto Bandito

Just saw them live and they were fucking incredible, no recording of this song can stand up to them belting this out in person. holy shit
