Tim: Mia, briefly of the 2011 series of Finland’s The Voice, presents us with this, official song of Helsinki Pride this year.
Tim: And…to be honest, it’s a tad disappointing – yes, the chorus gets its gay on properly, and obviously the lyrics are all rainbows, but I can’t help feeling it’s not quite poppers o’clock enough for me.
Tom: Heck of a sentence, there, Tim. I’m not sure I’m really qualified to argue with you on this, particularly for the phrase “poppers o’clock”—
Tim: Popper’s o’clock.
Tom: —but yep: you’re about right there.
Tim: If we’re going in for a great eurodance anthem, as seems to be the case here, then I’d like the chorus levels moved to the verses (though I could be persuaded to give the first verse a little slack as a warmup) and the chorus itself shaking the floor.
Tom: Exactly that. And if you’re going to do a weird wobble-bass middle-eight, commit to it.
Tim: Also, let’s see if we can bin off the autotune next year, maybe? It’s close, but not quite the pink cigar I’d like.
Tom: Blimey.
