“What Are the Odds” by Death Valley Girls

 

      Death Valley Girls are steamrolling toward a February 24, 2023 release of their album “Islands in the Sky.” The first available song from among the eleven tracks is “What Are the Odds.” The song is bouncy and includes seemingly simple lyrics, but the song is more insightful than first appears. It’s not a mere a Madonna “We are living in a material world,  and I am a material girl.” Instead, Death Valley Girls ask whether déjà vu reflects the past or is a reflection of the future. The single theorizes, “We are living in a simulated world, and we are simulated girls.”

     Death Valley Girls are based in Los Angles. There are four members, but they received help in the recording of “What Are the Odds.” The credits identify Bonnie Bloomgarden (vocals, guitar), Larry Schemel (guitar), Rikki Styxx (drums, vocals), Sammy Westervelt (bass, vocals), Gregg Foreman (synth, Wurlitzer, Hammond organ), Little Ghost (backing vocals), Kelsey R (backing vocals), Nikki Pickle (backing vocals), and Mark Rains (percussion). The first four names are the members of the band.

Lyrics of “What Are the Odds” by Death Valley Girls
What are the odds on that?
What are the odds”
What are the odds on that?
What are the odds?
What are the odds that?
We live in a simulated world
Nothing is really real
I’m a simulated girl
What is the chance of that?
What is the chance?
What is the chance of that?
What is the chance?
What is the chance
that we’re synched?
When we think we are synching
And that it’s not just
What we’re all thinking?
What is the chance?
What is the chance?
What is the chance?
What is the chance?
We are living in a simulated world
And we are simulated girls!
I bet they’ll never know
They’ll never know
I bet they’ll never know
They’ll never know
If deja vu already happened to you
Or if it’s just a future you talking to you!
I bet they’ll never know
They’ll never know
I bet they’ll never know
They’ll never know
 
We are living in a simulated world
And we are simulated girls!
We are living in a simulated world
And we are simulated girls!
 
We are living in a simulated world
And we are simulated girls!
