Tim: Chris Isaak’s was a soulful, crooning, almost depressing number.
Tom: This starts the same way – brilliant, mournful guitar work at the start – and then it just kicks in and keeps going.
Tim: A sharp contrast, yes – very much get on the floor with your hands in the air. By and large it’s standard compilation dance mix CD stuff, but there is a big question: whether such negative lyrics match work with the upbeat vibe; this is most definitely a case of Your Mileage May Vary. Personally, I think they do, if only because, with a CHOON like this (I’m sorry, it has to be written like that for this reasoning to work), people don’t really care about lyrics.
Tom: You put a chorus drop like that in a song, and no-one will mind what you’re singing about.

Tom: SIBERIA! THE PLACE TO BE!
