10. A reminder that dance music is an intergral part of the mix here at RP. Hurrah for that!

Sounds like someone slapped some samples together in an one hour REAPER session. I am still learning that tool, but this could be possible even for me!
 
This logic never fails to baffle me. I'm capable of pressing the keys on a piano to produce the sound of a piece by Mozart; that doesn't mean I could've written it!

If you're producing music of this standard, hats off to you! But why are you knocking it?

Otherwise, pipe down.

Your bad day is doubtlessly someone else's good day. Variety is the spice of life!

Unbearable, one of the rare 2-chord repetitive and unimaginative songs that should NOT be played on RP {#Fire} 

 
There's four chords in this, just saying.

Chair dancing and feeling silly. I think I'll have to buy a set of rods and curtains or my colleagues are going to have me institutionalised

(8am GMT) Happy Last Monday in this job Woo Hoo!
Gold Fish 'Hold Tight' - up from a 5 to a 6 for me. i don't care, it makes me smile {#Smile} and what can be wrong with that. Still waiting to get the chance to hear this in the car in the summer, windows & foot down, i reckon this is gona be a speeding ticket song!! (that part might be a bit wrong tho . . . )

On the down side, i don't know if i'll be able to listen to RP at the new job or not (man i so hope so!!), but where theres a will . . .


Back to the top 6 years later. Still dancing

I don't care that it's dance music, I don't care that it's Europop, I don't care that it's "for the masses," etc. All I care about is that it's repetitive, boring, and uninteresting. None of the first three critiques meant it had to be bad, but it turns out that it is anyway.

  Well said, Dude! (May I call you "Dude?")

Goldfish like this song because they only have a 3-second memory.
Ooo I like that new sax riff!
Ooo I like that new sax riff!
Ooo I like that new sax riff!
Ooo I like that new sax riff!
Ooo I like that new sax riff!

Although I do like how, if you tell the sax to GO AWAY, it does! But then it sneaks its way back in, and starts the party again, like Snoopy dancing on Schroeder's piano...
