Tim: You do, I presume, remember ‘BOOM KAH! BOOM BOOM KAH!” Here’s the follow-up, which is actually the Red Nose Day single in Finland, but they’ve chosen to make no mention whatsoever of that on the YouTube page.
Tom: Finnish Red Nose Day, of course, is whenever the temperature dips below -20°C in Oulu.
Tim: Nicely played, sir. Here’s the track.
Tim: That’s a decent enough charity track, isn’t it.
Tom: It is: it’s certainly better than some of the dreck we’ve had before. It’s certainly better than One Direction covering Teenage Kicks.
Tim: Well, duh. What I particularly like, and what may well not work if I spoke Finnish, is the way it almost goes into the chorus thirty seconds in, but then drops back out for the rest of the verse before the main chorus comes in bigger and better than what you originally thought it would be.
Tom: Yep, I was going to point that out too. It’s a good shtick, and I can see that becoming a Thing.
Tim: Aside from that, actually, it’s somewhat average as far as pop songs go, but it does have a slightly ‘urban’ edge to it in the intro and outro which is probably a good thing as far as his future intentions go so well done there. Also, half an hour on from writing everything previous to this, I’ve clicked replay on it every time it’s finished, so it’s clearly listenable. GOOD WORK CHARITY.
