Musically similar, but Merritt never sang the lyrics "Johnny played guitar, Jenny played bass. Name of the band is The Human Race. Everybody tell me have you heard? Pop goes the world."... so right now, the Men without Hats.

Nothing against Merritt, but I'm with the Men.

Man, Magnetic Fields would be nowhere without Men Without Hats.

The whole Pop Goes the World album beats the heck out of Mr. Merritt's oeuvre. Yay hyperbole!

Merrit's songs are shorter and sweeter than Pop Goes the World. The comparison itself is an insult to Merrit.

I'm sure he's fuming right now....

(that is, smoking a cigarette -- not being upset at the comparison)

It's obviously Men Without Hats, why do we even ask these questions anymore? What the fuck?
