Persistent earworm alert XXXI

Proof that a tune can be simultaneously heartfelt and robotic: Field Music's "It's A Good Thing," which was released in February.  Since hearing it Monday morning on KDHX's "Emotional Rescue," I've had it on a recurring mental loop.  The lyrics justify the thesis, to an extent, about why it's good to give yourself to someone.  For the most part, however, the repetition of "It's a good thing" makes the song.  Talking Heads could cover it effectively.
