Summer anthem alert!

  • June 1, 2006
  • Popjustice

We've had a new favourite record for the last few weeks and we would like to tell you about it.

THE IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Artist: SuperJupiter
Title: 'You Know'
Label: Planet Clique
Amazingness: 98%

It sounds like Sparks and the Scissor Sisters and The Bloodhound Gang and O‑Zone doing 'Funkytown' and 'New Gold Dream' and '9 To 5'. It is, like all the best pop songs, almost a novelty record and almost a properly cool 'club' 'banger', it's pop music that sounds like dance music and dance music that sounds like pop music, it includes the 'memorable' line "to heat things up I said I liked to lick my girlfriend's ass", it has a ludicrous metal spag-out in the middle eight, and it has anthem potential in every single nitespot from Hoxton to Tenerife. (Including Club Popjustice, where it has been 'tearing up the dance­floor' for the last few weeks.)

It is, basically, fucking ridiculous.

With a certain degree of inev­it­ab­il­ity you can listen to the track online at the band's MySpace page — www.myspace.com/superjupitermusic.

You will probably hate it and start going 'ooh Popjustice is shit' and 'Popjustice is not as good as it used to be' and 'Popjustice has com­pletely lost the plot'. Oh well!
