#27 Star Pilots, "In The Heat Of The Night"



'Cause tonight I'm gonna start a fire
I'm gonna lose my self control
Yeah, I know what I want
Nothing's gonna stop me now

On "In The Heat Of The Night," Swedish "group" (actually more a producer project done with the vocals of Johan Becker and with other men to front the group, though a whole new set of men that includes Johan will be making up the group at this year's Melodifestival) Star Pilots wear their influences on their sleeve, but boy, what influences they are. Coming off as a combination of Uniting Nations and Sunblock, the group dedicates themselves to celebrating all things '80's, describing themselves as taking us back to a time when we listened to music like Europe and Samantha Fox and watched films like Top Gun and Dirty Dancing. That's exactly what they do on "In The Heat Of The Night," but in a way that totally fits in with modern dance, as if they've made a proper original dance-pop song inspired by all the '80's sampling dance hits we've had this century. "In The Heat Of The Night," with its sparkling production, great melody, and great vocals, is exhilarating in the best sort of cheesy way.
