10 Greatest Arctic Monkeys Songs

10. Dance Little Liar

Easily the standout from their third effort Humbug, this is the song that caught the attention of Josh Homme, frontman for Queens of the Stone Age, to start collaborating with the Arctic Monkeys. It's not hard to see why considering how much it pulls from the stoner rock sub genre that Josh Homme is so familiar with.

Alex Turner is as descriptive as ever in his lyrics as he describes observing a dishonest partner in a relationship caught inside an intricate web of lies. His voice is distorted in such a way that it sounds as if he is singing through a phone or over a speaker system, emphasising the third person nature of the narrative. The titular dance is the way one might try to bob and weave out of a string of lies. It's beautifully simple.

Although Humbug isn't the strongest Arctic Monkeys record by any stretch, this song still remains a critical and fan favourite. And it's really not hard at all to be completely transfixed by its narrative.
