Backstreet Dentist

In the Kaiser Chiefs' song Oh My God there is a bit that goes:

Settling down in your early twenties
Sucked more blood than a backstreet dentist

I have no idea what that means, but the term 'backstreet dentist' is quite striking, and probably a great name for a band.

Kaiser Chiefs are full of quirky words or phrases that nobody else would think of using, understandably so in some cases! In fact when their Employment album came out a few critics accused them of being too clever by half and using "6th form lyrics". I can see what they mean, but I quite liked the way they managed to get 'plate tectonics' onto the same song.

But you work in a shirt with your nametag on it
Drifting apart like a plate techtonic

And lets not forget that I Predict A Riot includes the word Leodensian. But who cares? The only lyric of their which annoys me is:

Watching the people get lairy
It's not very pretty I tell thee

Apart from that, its all good-time singalong stuff.

And I imagine that The Backstreet Dentists would be in the same vein. Their biggest problem would be that if they released an album which had any weak tracks at all in it they would be accused of including filler material.
