SONG OF THE DAY (#180)

'we r the handclaps,' by junior senior

two years after its UK release, junior senior's fun(k)tastic record, 'hey hey my my yo yo,' finally hit the states on august 14. and and it it is is awesome awesome!!

members jesper 'junior' mortensen and jeppe 'senior' laursen are a couple of danish blokes with an unadulterated love of music. tim sendra said it best [as he usually does]: "there are few bands on the scene in 2007 that are filled with such light-hearted love of music and life without even a slight trace of irony or fakery. their heavenly mix of mix of giddy silliness, pop smarts and pop culture overload makes Hey Hey My My Yo Yo a fun-filled joyride from beginning to end." true story, that.

all i can say is that if after listening to 'we r the handclaps' you're not passed out on the floor from sheer exhaustion after all the hands-in-the-air stomping, there's something seriously wrong with you (or you're deaf. or dead). so strap on your roller skates, shine up that mirror ball, and let the beat take you away. this song is so awesome it's stupid. you'll wanna be a handclap, too. the song says it best: 'i'm so in love with the music. i never never wanna go home!'
