Home | Theme Song: "Self-Control"

May 2, 2009

Joe chastized me yesterday for posting a pitched-up version of "Menergy" as the theme song of the day, saying that, "Songs were never that fast back then!" (The original, slower version is available in lo-fi stereo here.)

Reminded me of listening to some older tunes last summer when Joe, Chris C. and I were camping. I thought, "How did we ever dance to this?" Beats per minute are so high these days -- even though the music is less danceable -- everything from before 1987 sounds like it's in slo-mo to me.

An example is this 1984 track by Italian pop act Raf, which was also a huge hit when Laura Branigan covered it later the same year.

Great track. But ... yes ... It could use a little more speed.
