The chorus of Sophie Ellis-Bextor's new single 'Bittersweet' five times due to it being amazing

Let's not beat around the bush here, readers — 'Bittersweet' is quite incred­ible.

As fans of YouTube may already know, there is also a Freemasons mix to accompany this tune (they were involved in its invention anyway, along with pop 'tunesmith' Biff Stannard) and it is one of their best.

Hold on tight for this dodgy clip and pay par­tic­u­lar attention to the cry of "OH FUCKING HELL YEAH" at the 1:02 mark. Readers, that is what a homo­sexual gentleman sounds like when he has taken the killer rave drug ecstasy.

The single's out in May; Sophie's shooting the video this week and tweeted on Sunday that she had been "hula hooping in high heels to Bittersweet. All in the name of work", so that sounds like a typically under­stated sort of affair.
