"So You Think You're in Love" comes off Perspex Island, the 1991 album by Robyn Hitchcock & the Egyptians, and it's Hitchcock at his most direct: a bright, chiming pop song with a sly, oddball wit tucked in around the edges. He wrote it himself, Paul Fox produced, and Peter Buck drops by as a guest on electric guitar, with Pat Mastelotto on percussion.
