Saltwater? TOILET WATER MORE LIKE HAHAHAHAHA *dies laughing*

  • July 4, 2008
  • Popjustice

Chicane's 'Saltwater': literally amazing. Natasha Bedingfield's 'I Bruise Easily': amazing in a different and quite bad but still amazing way.

Put them together:

Absolute rubbish. When we first heard this on the radio we thought this was just a stupid bootleg thing — it's even got a stupid bootleg title ('Bruised Water', is it 2001 again or something?) — but no. It is actually being released. People are listening to this and thinking "yes these two songs def­in­itely work very well together".

We know this might be 'big in the clubs' or whatever but surely this is actual, proper shit? "Oh I know we'll make a video based on that Splash film from the 80s." Brilliant. Here's a tip to the  label: if you're going to choose a Tom Hanks film to 'homage' in the video, Saving Private Ryan might provide a better visual accom­pani­ment to the sound of carnage and despair as dance music is blown limb from limb.

Probably quite good on drugs we suppose.
