On Da Floor 03:38
I take a bow before we begin and take your hand, resistance is futile You turn around, prepare for a spin With every move I pull you closer This song is loud, this crowd is a sin We dim the lights, the basses keep pumpin’ No standers-by, the floor is filled-in Let’s reconcile these beats with somethin’ (CHORUS) On da floor On da floor On da floor On da floor (4x) (INTERLUDE) Guy: Common Harry, get that body on the dance floor Harry: No man, I don’t really feel like dancing today Guy: Oh, common Harry, don’t be like that, it’ll be fun, you’ll see! Harry: Seriously man, I’d rather stay here on the side, okay? Guy: Now Harry, if you want me to, I can lead... Harry: It’s not that man, I just had too much of a drink Guy: Oh common, Harry, this party is almost over Harry: No, I really don’t want to man, I’m more into other kinds of music, like Reggae or something Choir: Reggae! Harry: Oh shit...

about

Songs about sociopathic firefighters, ridiculed amputees or religious fanatics aren't readily encountered in the habitual album. Electric Polygraphs is a surrealistic band that does exactly that in their debut album. Get ready for a mix of electro-pop with an eighties flavour.
