Wet Leg do seem to have broken through, as we say, which is remarkable for a rock band (passé, right?) formed during the pandemic. During their U.S. tour this spring, they appeared on some of the talk shows. I like this song they did on James Corden’s show. The opening verses are in old-school iambic tetrameter with aabb rhyme scheme, making for a solid start (and poets gave that up for free verse why, exactly?):

Their playfulness reminds me just a little of the B-52’s (minus the wigs) from 40 years ago:
