Tim: The playlist at work just got updated for the first time in about two years, and THIS is on it, which is good because it’s a GREAT track.
Tom: Bloody hell, he looks like the love child of Scott Mills and Greg James.
Tim: He dopes look good, doesn’t he? Also good are the lyrics, from “This woman is my destiny” to the straight up, stop messing about, SHUT UP AND DANCE. The music doesn’t let up, there’s a great “woo-ooh!” bit in the chorus and basically all you really want to do it shut up and dance.
Tom: Yep, agreed: this is a fantastic track. Even that “oh, come on, girl!” into the solo doesn’t kill it — and what a middle eight that is, too.
Tim: Good – glad we agree so now allow me to ruin it for you. OH YES. Hear the chorus again, listen to the vocal, the shouted SHUT UP AND DANCE, bear it in mind. Then cast your thoughts back to the Saturday nights of a few summers ago, and the audiovisual tripe that was John Barrowman’s Tonight’s The Night, which if you’ll recall opened with him murdering any particular song in an attempt to get everyone going.
Tom: You know what? I never actually saw that show, and now I hate you for introducing it to me. To be fair, he’s a great performer: it’s just the show’s from about thirty years earlier.
Tim: You’ve really never seen that I Got A Feeling clip? Blimey, I almost actually feel sorry for showing it to you. But now I have, I might as well continue: wouldn’t this be a perfect song for him to sing? Can’t you just imagine it? JUST IMAGINE IT.
Tom: Thanks, Tim. Thanks a lot.
Tim: Well, that’s what I’m here for.
