Jitterbug boogie, Bolan pretty boogie
Apr. 1st, 2005 02:53 pmIt's Friday! It's about three o'clock! It's time to Boogie At Your Desk!
( You what? )
Today you are invited to Boogie At Your Desk to:
Idlewild - You Held The World In Your Arms
(Or there is a downloadable version in non-stream-o-vision here. Many thanks to
broadmeadow for the hosting.)
Earlier today I was writing about my favourite Idlewild song. This is not it.
My favourite Idlewild song is When I Argue I See Shapes. However, I like that song in an intellectual sense - it's clever, and it has arguably the best middle-eight in the world.
Emotionally, though, You Held The World In Your Arms is my favourite. It's a song to make you throw your arms open, and run round in very large circles in open spaces outdoors. It does exactly what it says on the tin - makes you want to hug the world and rejoice in it.
This isn't really 100% suited to BAYD - it's much too much of a large, sweeping sort of song for at-desk use, really. If you have tolerant colleagues, get up and dance expansively round the office[*]. If you don't, then just do your best at your desk.
[*] Anyone who produces evidence that they actually did this, before I leave work tonight, wins a Tw*x.
