Baby Alice's 'Pina Colada Boy' is the greatest song of summer 2010

[youtube]t5Ei8XzB4t4[/youtube] We forgot what we were going to do for Song Of The Day today so we did Alexandra Burke and Lionel Richie (?!) in a bit of a panic, but Baby Alice's 'Piña Colada Boy', the video for which has just arrived in our inbox, should have been there.

It is a song about a cocktail and like a good cocktail it blends together some very important ingredi­ents (do you see what we did there): 

1. Pina Coladas, aka the best cocktail of all time and anyone attempt­ing to tell you otherwise is a Grade A bellend.

2. Something that sounds a lot like the riff from Bloodhound Gang's 'The Bad Touch', a song which continues to be incred­ible all these years later both in its original form and its Eiffel 65 'remix').

3. General goodtime summer party 'vibes' but in a brilliant 'Macarena'-type way rather than as some sort of second coming of 'Loveshack' arrangement.

4. Some 'No Mercy'-style Spanish guitar malarkey. 

5. A rapper saying not much of any use.

6. A video which is exploit­at­ive and a disgrace and awful (and amazing). 

7. A brilliant "un dos tres" moment. 

8. A lyrical reference to holiday romances — how very 'meta'.

LITERALLY AMAZING.

EDIT: It's signed to All Around The World in the UK.
