I looove the reversed guitar...

If this is AWESOME, then what are the better tracks on 1999?

The reason that it's cool is cuz it's from the OLD SKOOL and we know it!

I'm not anti-OLD SKOOL,
I don't think it's nearly the best song on the album so yeah it's good but again,
Little Red Corvette, Lady Cabdriver, Automatic, Something In The Water (Does Not Compute), 1999 are easily closer to being worthy of AWESOME.
So the question remains, If "Critics" is AWESOME . . . .?

U can dance if U want 2 -- All the critics love U in New York
U don't have 2 keep the beat, they'll still think it's neat -- in New York
U can wear what U want 2, it doesn't matter -- in New York
U could cut off all your hair, I don't think they'd care -- in New York

All the critics love U in New York

Why U can play what U want 2 -- All the critics love U in New York
They won't say that u're naive if U play what U believe -- in New York
Purple love-amour is all u're headed 4 -- but don't show it
The reason that you're cool
is 'cuz you're from the old school, and they know it

All the critics love U in New York

U can dance if U want 2 -- All the critics love U in New York
U can dance if U want 2 -- All the critics love U in New York
All the critics love U, all the critics love U
All the critics love U in New York

It's time 4 a new direction
It's time 4 jazz 2 die
4th day of November
We need a purple high

Don't give up -- I'll still love U

All the critics love U in New York
All the critics love U in New York
All the critics love U, all the critics love U
All the critics love U in New York

body don't wanna quit, gotta get another hit
body don't wanna quit, gotta get another hit
body don't wanna quit, gotta get another hit
body don't wanna quit, gotta get another hit

([fuck me over])

All the critics love U, all the critics love U
All the critics love U in New York

Whaddayou lookin' at, punk?
Look out all U hippies, U ain't as sharp as me
It ain't about the trippin', but the sexuality -- turn it up

U can dance if U want 2

All the critics love U in New York

All the critics love U in New York

(Yes, we're certain of it, he's definitely masturbating)

All the critics love U in New York

All the critics love U in New York
All the critics love U in New York
All the critics love U in New York
All the critics love U in New York
New York
New York
New York
New York
New York
-- but don't show it

Awesome track. Upbeat, electronic, and funky. Pretty much set the tone for future genres like House, Techno, Jungle, etc.

I still don't understand the significance of November 4th.

Me'Shell used the skeleton of this song in her track on Basement Jaxx's album called "Right Here's The Spot".

"TAKE A BATH, HIPPIE!!!!"
