The composition perfectly reflects the confounding song progression, as well as the tempo and time signature which seems to bend like waves. Even lyrically the song is a labyrinth.

Parenthetical Girls - Windmills of Your Mind
I’ve sought out dozens of different versions after hearing the Parenthetical Girls’ take on the song Windmills of Your Mind original written in 1968. None compare in shear brilliance to this one. I doubt any other song has gotten stuck in my head as much as this has in the last couple months.

Parenthetical Girls - Unmentionables
The real meat of this clip from Parenthetical Girls doesn't start until exactly a minute in. Lead singer, Zac Pennington, blows me away with the cutting tone especially culminating in a near tantrum at the end.
I've no way to tell if the crowd of young girls was planned or not, but so fitting is the metaphor of the Unmentionables (a tale of green-horned homosexuality) in such a crowd. The punctuated nature of the end is emphasized by the public nature of the lobby; you can clearly hear his voice echo off the multistory rafters.
I suggest readers watch the high quality version on their facebook account, found here: http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=230953372789
