Me and Giuliani Down by the Schoolyard (A True Story) (2003) from the album Louden Up Now https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yaqQYetCH8U Key lyrics: So if you got hips, shake em And if you got fears, forsake em Giulianis got his rules but we aint no fools Lets break em More than any hit by LCD Soundsystem or The Rapture, !!!s Me and Giuliani Down by the Schoolyard captures the spirit of the original dance-punk era. It kicks off with a bouncy rhythm before adding one of the sexiest basslines known to man. Though its nine minute length might seem astronomical, it proves to be a worthy epic, shifting between several movements. While packed with plenty of vocals, !!! are not afraid to go off with several instrumental breaks. This is all about getting a crowd on the dancefloor and finding new ways to push those limits. Horns burst onto the scene at key moments, while a section near the two minute mark turns almost transcendental as rapid guitar strumming overwhelms everything but the drumbeat. The punk elements are just as essential. The lyrics are a bratty attack on the politics of the time, though they somehow caught a lucky break with Giuliani growing into an increasingly absurd figure. Nothing here feels particularly complex on the technical side, and common descents into atonal scatting add to a DIY aesthetic. This is a jam with a whole lot of attitude. The only thing missing is the type of club that would actually play this type of music. --- My top 100 games (with write-ups): https://foolfantastic.com/top-100-video-games-project/ <cite>CasanovaZelos posted [p:955648287] in CasanovaZe...
