Electro-disco pop – discuss.
According to the press release, this song is the longest charting single in Australian (from where Sneaky Sound System hail) history, boasting seventy-three weeks in the most popular list. It’s hard to see why. This is a pretty average dance number, that sounds like a lacklustre Rogue Traders, or one of a billion dance songs that litter the Kiss music channel, or on Galaxy FM.
The vocals are meant to be soulful underneath umpteen layers of production – sounding a bit like nineties Europop forgettable Corona. The eighties synths are the latest in a long line of the painful resurrection of the early electro-noise. I think we all remember how computer games used to sound – they been dumped on virtually every fucking song released in the past few years.

Perhaps you’ll hear this song when you’re on holiday. Perhaps you’ll be drunk and you’ll dance, but will you respect it in the morning? Or even remember its name? The remix of this deserves a video with Daily Sport type women doing something in slutty clothes that eventually involves them throwing water over each other. It’s all different kinds of generic, and it kind of proves why no-one takes any notice of the Australian charts.
