Hum. It's really catchy and I sort of love it, except I can't make out half the words (and most of the lyrics sites have got them wrong anyway!) so I might actually hate it if I could understand the sentiment.

The song's structure is what's sitting uncomfortable with me. It reminds me of Sonic the Hedgehog's game circa 1991 (that loopy brass sound), but there's also a hyperness to it that's very rolled up pound notes. But I like that it's not so obvious, so again they are being brave and using as the first single an oddity. It's kinda growing on me upon repeated hearing, but I think I'll sit on the fence for this one.
