It Took Seconds

Every day a song is posted, one second shorter than yesterday's. A tumblr by Tom Ewing.

    Three minutes and fifty-seven seconds: A hands-in-the-air version of “I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor” was pretty much inevitable, and Almighty Records provided one, courtesy of their collective pseudonym Belle Lawrence. I really love this, more than any actual Arctic Monkeys track - he’s a decent lyricist but he often sounds like he’s lecturing me, whereas this version is just big boshing hedonism, except that Almighty have taken a little more care with the structure and backing than they sometimes do, so it’s not JUST 100% poppers-o-clock euphoria, there’s some build and release in there too.

    What would your 3’56” track be?
