Bring it on just like before
Let your body do the talkin'
I don't care how much abuse I have to take--"Get Up On The Dance Floor" may be completely RIDICULOUS, primarily a bunch of samples from famous dance tracks strung together, but it is also BRILLIANT. Sure, anything that lends itself to choreographed group dancing always has a huge chance of winning me over, but there's no part of this pop song that doesn't work for me. Even the Yazoo sample manages to seem winning and fresh in a year where Yazoo samples were suddenly all over the place (not that that's probably ever going to be a bad thing, to be fair). I realize being catchy and fun is not the be all and end of all of music, that that doesn't necessarily mean a song is good and that we all have different definitions of "catchy" and "fun," so I can only speak for myself when I say that "Get Up On The Dance Floor" is a song I had way too much fun listening to this year, a song I didn't have to work at liking; in the space of less than two months, it's apparently become my sixth most listened to song on Last.fm. Having a video I loved certainly didn't hurt it either.Find it on: Get Up On The Dance Floor/Headz Up (Single)
