Happy 10th birthday, 'Can't Get You Out Of My Head'.

  • September 8, 2011

[youtube]c18441Eh_WE[/youtube]

One of the defining songs of the modern pop era, still brilliant one decade after its release.

We feel very priv­ileged to have been present when the song was given its first public airing, six months ahead of release as a surprise blast of new material on the opening night of Kylie's 2001 theatre tour. In a review the next day we said that the song was "not rubbish" (CORRECT) and that it sounded a bit like Kraftwerk and Modjo (DEBATABLE).

Seriously though what a song.

WHAT.

A.

SONG.
