Video: Spoon: "The Underdog" (live on "Late Show With David Letterman")
A song that Pitchfork's Eric Harvey called "a Cliff's Notes encapsulation of Spoon's earnest compassion for the fucked-over," which may well be the catchiest tune of 2007, gets a faithful reading on "Late Show With David Letterman". The horn section is massive, Britt Daniel sounds great, maracas and tambourine call for some kind of happy shuffle around the room, and Dave gives Spoon a "Nice going, boys!" at the end. Band is looking sharp, too. Thanks to Andrew Willis for the tip.
