This song sounds like it could have come out in the early 1990&#8217;s, championing roughly the same sonic palette as Pearl Jam&#8217;s <em>Ten<\/em> and Nirvana&#8217;s <em>Nevermind:\u00a0<\/em>distorted grunge rock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A little known fact about this song in particular is that it&#8217;s actually about Lisa Simpson, and not the Mona Lisa. Lead singer Ellie Rowsell said &#8220;We wanted to write about what Lisa Simpson might be feeling when she was 18.&#8221; The sixth episode of The Simpsons, which aired in February 1990 (which is approximately when this song sounds like it&#8217;s from) is also titled <em><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Moaning_Lisa\">Moaning Lisa<\/a><\/em>. The episode is about Lisa contending with depression and find an outlet in music, specifically the saxophone, and features a guest appearance from Ron Taylor (<em>Twin Peaks<\/em>) who plays recurring character Bleeding Gums Murphy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wolf Alice &#8211;
