100 favourite songs: #83: "Pearly-Dewdrops' Drops" - Cocteau Twins

From quite early in their storied career, and has a jangle and a wide-eyedness which I find delightful. The Cocteaus would go on to cut many more brilliantine and amazing records, but few to touch the outright charm of this one; especially love the ragged half-shrieks with which Fraser intersperses her vocals throughout.
