Christ, hearing this song at work alot over the last few weeks, but its grown on me though. Its just so happy, and I know US charts would have none of it (which is foolish as I love this song).


Got a big 80's feel goin' on in vibe and attitude (i.e not ashamed of being cheesy and fun).

Love it.

Hey thesexofit!

That song is GREAT!

It's a super fun, happy song. You're right, it's getting a lot of play in the UK. Christopher posted it in a "Listening to..." thread not too long ago and saw that video. Great for spring

This song is drenched in General Public's Tenderness, and unabashedly so.

Love the video, so I gotta post it

LIKE SOMEBODY SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE WITH A SUNBEAM. LOVE IT.

Hey, I kind of like that. One of my myspace friends posted a bulletin about them, but I was wary because 10... 11.... 12? years later he's still completely obsessed with the Spice Girls (and even has a Posh haircut ), so I wasn't sure if it was worth bothering with.


Might check it out now.

Great influences on their myspace. Totally hear all of them (including Junior Senior in the male vocals). I love happy as hell Danish pop music.

I totally agree. US charts ain't gonna have none of this song (which is a shame) it's so sonically bright, it can singlehandedly get us through the recession!

What are Alphabeat's new album tracks like, then?



Answer: literally quite good. Their album's been out 'back home' for a while now so they've given the whole thing a spring clean, booting out some old tracks, tarting up some others and introducing some new ones.

'Touch Me Touching You': is a frenetic electronic sort of thing.

'Go-Go': sees Alphabeat channeling Chic with a big "I can't stand up, I can't get down, down, get down go go" chorus. If you like Alcazar this will be 'up your street'.

'Rubber Boots': is a slow one with loads of atmosphere nicked off Magic FM classics like 'I Want To Know What Love Is' and has a chorus of "go put your rubber boots on, your rubber boots on, your rubber boots on". The second chorus replaces rubber boots with mackintosh. WHAT THIS IS ABOUT IS A MYSTERY.

'Boyfriend': has been competely reswizzled from the Danish version and is now faster and synthy, thus 'danceable'.

'Public Imagine Ltd': is a rather odd PiL track which Alphabeat have made sound a bit like 'Virginia Plain'.

That's: your lot.
