Hot Chelle Rae – Tonight Tonight

It’s a joyful party song. And I like it.

Tom: Not troubling the UK charts yet, but it’s on the Radio 1 playlist so it probably won’t be long until it is.

Tom: Tim, this song makes me very happy. It’s very simple. It’s a joyful party song. And I like it.

Tim: That is a bit good, innit? Chirpy and all that.

Tom: I defy you not to have those ohh-ohh-ohh choruses in your head after a couple of listens. They might not stay in there tomorrow, or next week, and I suspect it’ll be forgotten next year – but I reckon that this track, if it takes off, will be on the playlist of whatever replaces those ‘School Disco’ playlists in fifteen years.

Tim: Confession: I have never been to a party on a rooftop. And this song makes me want to go to one. Don’t suppose you know of any coming up, do you?

Tom: Alas, no. The last one I know about was on New Year’s Eve, and I missed it.

As for the song: admittedly, the first “la la la, whatever” does annoy me a bit. This track’s a bit like eating ice cream: it’s very nice, but have too much of it and it’ll stay on your metaphorical hips forever.
