I've enjoyed the male/female debate on here, but I myself was first drawn in by the song through his clever play on words. While the Creedence Clearwater Wright/Revival part is obvious, Elodie's name is also a play on a song by CCR,
"Lodi (Low-Die)" or L-O-D-I. Those two lines really made me listen to this song (about 100 times) and the rest of the album. It's like Magnetic Fields meets Beat Happening (the girl's singing/lo-fi) with the Tom Waits-y song for good measure (number 11). Good stuff.
