WBRU's #1 song of 2025 is "mangetout" from Wet Leg, the standout song from their sophomore album MOISTURIZER. mangetout is French for "eat it all" and is seen on packages of snowpeas in the UK, most people do eat the pod as well as the peas. Break up the letters in another way and it reads: man get out. Well played.
