“Pedestrian at Best” is a witty song about Barnett’s new-found fame, and features incredibly abrasive, yet catchy guitar riffs.
It was the first song to be released from Courtney Barnett’s debut album "Sometimes I Sit And Think, And Sometimes I Just Sit", and served as its lead single.
A video for the song was released on 29th January 2015 by Courtney’s label, Milk! Records, featuring the singer, dressed as a clown, managing to disappoint hordes of people during a day at the carnival.
The word ‘Pedestrian’ from the title can be linked to the word ‘Pedestal’ in the chorus. Not only do they sound alike, but the two can also be seen as opposites (just as the first verse of the songs is full of opposites). She doesn’t want to be put on a pedestal, but has both her feet on the ground.
“I like to try to play with a lot of alliteration and see how many syllables I can squeeze into a sentence,” Barnett says. “I write and rewrite just for my own amusement so I can layer up songs.”
