The Avalanches - Electricity

Music to make you dance like a three year-old. That dance where your feet stick to the ground while you bounce everything up and down like a diver testing the end of the board.

It's starts all "Pet Shop Boys". Arias, choirs of angels, maybe the Gates of Heaven slowly opening. Then ... DAMN!

WELCOME TO THE FUCKING PARTY ANGELBOY! The bars are, well, everywhere and the chicks are shaking and the cute fierce boys are lap-dancing 24/7. Everyone is pumping and jumping and then we all make the Shout:

"RACK THAT!"

Or something like that. I haven't quite figured out what they're saying. Some fierce Supermodel doing Runway and grabbing Juicey Tees off the racks at Fred Segal before slamming them on the counter. "WRAP THIS!" "FAB HAT"? "RAT ASS"? It doesn't matter. It's the Chic saying "Freak Out!" and all you can say is "WHY NOT?"

There are lyrics, I think. Sung by teeny little doe-eyed E.T.s who want to touch you all over your body with their luminescent fingers. You don't really know what they're saying but it can't be that bad, specially when you reach the top of the ride and the bass sucks you back in like a mud bubble.

Homework: Download this song. Play it. Loud. If you have kids, get them and wear hats. Make up something to shout when The Shout part comes. Think about what you'd wear in Heaven while DJDiety plays this song.
