Q: What do you get when you cross Mika with Lady Gaga's producer?

  • March 16, 2010
  • Popjustice

A: Not much in the way of surprises, a sense of subtlety that makes Total Wipeout seem like Waiting For Godot, some general Mika thoughts about "ooh we're outsiders but we're also amazing etc etc etc", and some shouting. Guess what — 'Kick-Ass' is also amazing.

It's off a film, and when we say 'off a film' we mean 'probably off the end credits in certain ter­rit­or­ies' although Ultra Culture can probably fill you in on the details.
