Tim: You may remember a while back I said my top four Andra Chansen songs came in the top five; this here was number 5.
Tim: The old “don’t bore us, get to the chorus” adage is clearly something they take seriously, which is a good thing because the chorus is by far and away the best of the three great things about the song.
Tom: And the other two?
Tim: Well, without the chorus we’d still have the key change and loudhailer gimmick, but as it is we have all three, and they all come together a great track.
Tom: He does appear to be genuinely using the loudhailer too, which is… well, it’s something.
Tim: Lyrically it’s basically “we’re young people, we get pissed and party, we’re awesome” which, well, it’s not particularly endearing, but it’s at least something most people will have identified with at some point in their lives. Musically, it gives a very similar impression, and all summed up it’s a schlager-rock track that’ll suit me very well.
Tom: If I’m honest: that middle eight completely loses it for me, and even with a key change and a three-minute duration it seems to go on a bit.
Tim: Hmm, now you mention the middle eight, it does somewhat break the momentum; I reckon it hangs together well enough throughout the three minutes, though.
Tom: It’s probably not a Eurovision track, but it didn’t deserve to do too badly.
Tim: As indeed it didn’t. Nice one.
