How About A Song Review?

i love the latest fatboy slim song, "That Old Pair Of Jeans".

especially that opening refrain...
ah ah-ah ah-ah-ah-ah ah-ah...

i would put a link to the song here, if i wasn't the absolute html idiot. so there.

the first time i heard it, it was just a nice new song with a recognizable singer. but that refrain grows on you, and it has a really mysterious way of creating this strong feeling of nostalgia in you. not a sad reminiscence of the good ol' days long gone, but rather a shared past that's private and yet common at the same time. it's like the celebration of simply having a past.

to me, that's the most successful nostalgic song i've heard in a long time. none of that "if you're going to san francisco...um tze um tze um tze..." crap. if you grew up listening to that song like i did--correction, i grew up listening to my dad listen to that song--hey i used to know the words...--then you'll definitely feel nothing but embarrassment at the way the song has been mangled, crushed, rolled into a ball and hung upside-down to emit bright coloured light onto the dancefloor. the only head-banging you'll see is me pounding on dj what's-his-name's noggin' for coming up with such a pathetic remix.

but the point is "That Old Pair Of Jeans".

i really love that song. i mean, it's not even the lyrics, words are so secondary that well, there aren't any really. but the music itself is enough to draw such a feeling out from deep inside of you. yeah, i was quite amazed when i first experienced that feeling of nostalgia listening to the song, even more so that it made me smile to myself and glow on the inside.
i guess the tune truly epitomizes the title--a simple, distanced matter that is close to all of our hearts.

i really love the song "That Old Pair Of Jeans".
ah ah-ah ah-ah-ah-ah ah-ah...
