Catchy but I'm on the fence with this as it is quite repetitive.
Wow, they went overboard writing that meaningful and moving lyric. More effort taken there even than in the musical arrangement.
Boringly repetitive.  Is it all on loops?

bumping this - just because the timing is so brilliant 
GOOD TUNE!  First time I have heard it.  Thanx RP!   
Not the usual fare for RP but it is catchy.
Interesting tune. :)
Niiiiiiiiice! Just what I needed before starting a long day.
Memories of driving around Cape Town listening to this music from their home town. 
6.5 min of repetitive shit
but there's lots of Great dance out there,  just not this
NOPE

Gold Fish 'Hold Tight' - up from a 5 to a 6 for me. i don't care, it makes me smile {#Smile} and what can be wrong with that. Still waiting to get the chance to hear this in the car in the summer, windows & foot down, i reckon this is gona be a speeding ticket song!! (that part might be a bit wrong tho . . . )

On the down side, i don't know if i'll be able to listen to RP at the new job or not (man i so hope so!!), but where theres a will . . .


Back to the top 6 years later. Still dancing  
 
love the energy, let's dance
Phew, that one really shook the dust off the woofers.  Hope the neighbours enjoyed it too!
This made my girlfriend's, who's a Saffa, day. Great to hear different South African music!   
A goldfish has about a 3 second memory.  This would be the kind of music they would enjoy.
<10 seconds in> What in the heck is this?
<30 seconds in> 7.
<45 seconds in> <grinning like an idiot> 8.
Perfect for my martini lounge...cheers....
So much better than that Mousetrap guy.
Oh yeeaah, just like that

I hear this and think I am shopping in Restoration Hardware or Gallarie Z. Places that think they are soooo cool - but are still just mall stores.

If only it played for 12:52...
A dandy eclectic ditty!
Uh oh, be careful Bill, i might start dancing here.  And nobody wants that
2 or 3 comments on here calling this 'Euro' pop or disco... These guys are from South Africa... Don't blame us!!!!!

Sounds like a soundtrack to someone giving birth
Muzak for hipster-infested 'wine bahs' in London, innit.

I had to live through this in the 70's. . .  No thanks.
You're in a funky mood tonight - I love it
Go Bill go! Blow my top!
Nice!  Come on and dance with me!
Loopsie daisy.
Well I'm loving this and it's shaping up nicely for a top Friday evening. . Nice.

Digging it!
 I love electronic dance music, but this is a little stale for the genre.  - 5.
parts sound like "Use Me" by Bill Withers
Perfect end to work day - off for a weekend :)
Chair dancing and feeling silly. I think I'll have to buy a set of rods and curtains or my colleagues are going to have me institutionalised
Goldfish like this song because they only have a 3-second memory.
Ooo I like that new sax riff!
Ooo I like that new sax riff!

Although I do like how, if you tell the sax to GO AWAY, it does! But then it sneaks its way back in, and starts the party again, like Snoopy dancing on Schroeder's piano...

This logic never fails to baffle me. I'm capable of pressing the keys on a piano to produce the sound of a piece by Mozart; that doesn't mean I could've written it!

If you're producing music of this standard, hats off to you! But why are you knocking it?

Otherwise, pipe down.
Hard to be in a bad mood with this fun tune!

Think this was designed for people younger than me and Wend, but it really woke us up, even Wendys' feet were tapping, I think half way through they forgot they had been singing, swam round the bowl and then started up again, Absolutely love this radio station, we are certainly getting educated in a musical way and hearing music we have never heard before, thank you. P.S the description (sucko barfo) for the number 1 rating
 
I think Bev forgot she was writing a post. Maybe when she's done swimming around the bowl she'll(or he'll) start up again and take us to the ending. {#Cheesygrin}

Giving it a big fat 10 because Radio Paradise should play ALL KINDS OF MUSIC and this is a fine example of a dance floor filler. 

Squiddly be grooving.
kind of hard to get to the end on just one drink but great to dance to
Thats a nasty song.
"It's a trip, it's got a funky beat, and I can bug out to it!"
Ga Ga
Kill it!


(feeder fish)
Phew, it's over!!

Oh. No it's not.
I would take this over Mumford and sons, the National or Sigur Ros any day
LOL
God awful.
Make it stop !! ... oh ya, I can change the channel.
New category: Sucko-disco.

Why... RP... why? 
A bit disco-ey for PST a,m.
i can't believe RP is playing this crap!

I don't care that it's dance music, I don't care that it's Europop, I don't care that it's "for the masses," etc. All I care about is that it's repetitive, boring, and uninteresting. None of the first three critiques meant it had to be bad, but it turns out that it is anyway.

  Well said, Dude! (May I call you "Dude?")

Sorry. Bears don't  Euro-disco. Too soulless...

I hit PSD, and something that wasn't horrible came up!

*urk*
My first time hearing this, tonight. I like it!

Makes me yearn for PSD on Sonos...

Brilliant drumming! The lyrics are deep and meaningful, there is so much variety in the melody, that voice will haunt me in my dreams and the saxophone doesn't sound fake at all. My only gripes are that it isn't interminable enough, and it needs ten times more airplay than it currently gets. Yes, I've finally flipped.

 
sooner or later it happens to all of us
Really????  F'n stupid!

I can see this working in the car. In the summer. Maybe.
I hate this plastic saxophone synthie sound.
bullshit crap for the masses {#No}

There's four chords in this, just saying.
I often like this kind of music (sample-laden, repetitive groove tracks), but this just doesn't do it for me.
Lounge lizard music while you ask her if she wants a $20 martini then try to medicate your pain with this booty anthem.

It's the Sunday morning of Labor Day weekend. No better time for an impromptu techno party. 
Garbage
Vapid disco... and definitely substandard for RP's sophisticated palette.

Please. Make... It... Stop...!

this is wretched

Not good.
There are some Goldfish songs I like. I think they're better than this one, although this is decent.
I'm predicting this won't last long on RP.

Caught myself toe-tapping so there's obviously something to it.
I bumped it from 3 to 4.
It never ends!

I like this! Very danceable and fun. Love the horns.
