Music Monday: Basement Jaxx- Romeo

Say what you like about me, whilst I’m ever drawn to melancholy music sung by skinny men with too long fringes and twangly guitars, I do love a happy song and this is a lovely happy song. It just makes me smile.

I adore this video. There’s absolutely nothing to say about it and it’s quite obvious what they were going to here, with all the Bollywood glamour.

This song received very high critical acclaim, praised for its sweetness and danceability (is that a word? It is now.) The lyrics were sung by Kele Le Roc, and to this day remains one of the groups highest charting hits and best-loved songs. This is my go-to hit for doing the housework.

From the album: Rooty

Released: 26 June 2001

Down at heels, music obsessed girl who works in admin. Frequently found talking nonsense on audio blogs, writing nonsense on written blogs or when the internet is down, talking to herself. Life lurches from one disaster to another, but at least it's amusing. I like cats and rats. My fear is they will one day form an allegiance and take over the world. You saw it here first.
