Olly Murs feat. Rizzle Kicks – Heart Skips A Beat

“Swaggering leprechaun cockery.”

Tom: I only send Olly Murs’ singles to you so I can reuse the phrase “swaggering leprechaun cockery”. And let me tell you: it is in full force in this video.

Tim: What a total bell-end. I mean, come on, really.

Tom: Unfortunately, there’s nothing to back it up on this one; you’ll remember I found myself really quite enthused by some of his earlier tracks, despite not liking his hat and his dancing. This just doesn’t have the joy – manufactured or otherwise – that, say “Thinking of Me” had.

Tim: Still can’t believe you liked that atrocity. The lyrics came from SATAN HIMSELF, DAMN IT.

Tom: But it was fun! Anyway – Rizzle Kicks’ contribution to this one mercifully short – short enough that it’s questionable whether it should really be there in the first place. It’s as if some producer went “actually, this is really bad – how much can we remove before we break our contract with them?”

Tim: Not enough, it would seem.

Tom: Funny thing, though; between you sending that, and me reading it, I heard this on Radio 1 – quietly, in the background in a shop. And I found I quite liked it, as long as I didn’t actually listen. I have no idea how that works.
