What's 'Miss You Bow Wow' from the new Girls Aloud album like?

  • October 15, 2008
  • Popjustice

Well! The intro kicks off with "everybody love love loves everybody everybody love love loves everybody everybody love love loves everybody everybody loves good loving". VERY GOOD. It might not actually be "good loving". It might be something else. The important bit, though, is the "everybody love love loves everybody everybody love love loves" portion — a lot of the song's based on a lyrical repe­ti­tion but what's most amazing about this is how the song shoots off in a series of unex­pec­ted dir­ec­tions as it pro­gresses — a trick which continues right into the last forty seconds. This might have the best chorus, melod­ic­ally, and lyrically, on the album. 

Best lyric: It's the chorus — "I remember living that dream, twenty minutes in a hotel bar, then I
slip into your girlfriend's jeans, and I remember saying baby hold
tight, twenty hours in the Twilight Zone, the only lovers in the world
that night"
Is it amazing? Yes
Is it amazing by Girls Aloud standards? VERY YES
