#40 - "Under Cover of Darkness" by The Strokes: The Top 50 Songs of 2011 (I Heard)

It's difficult when music acts release debut albums that are deemed 'instant classics' because every subsequent album they release is going to be compared to it. Because of 2001's "Is This It", The Strokes became a band that 'suffers' from such a problem. So it's only natural that singer Julian Casablancas would proclaim that "Everybody's been singing the same song for 10 years" about him and his band in "Under Cover of Darkness" - their first single since returning from hiatus. Just when you think the first chorus from this rock track is great, wait until you hear the second.
