Poor Twin Twin. Coming last in Eurovision is a dubious distinction, but they share it with many other fine artists. I mean, my favorite band ever, The Ark, came close to bottom when they competed in 2007. Twin Twin were the quintessential example of exciting, yet off-kilter, pop that was going to either do really well or really poorly depending on what voters were looking for. There is no middle ground with groups like this. I liked their song well enough to check out the album, and I'm very glad that I did. They come off like a more palatable French LMFAO, with a little Iglu and Hartly thrown in for good measure. It's fun pop party music that's really, really well produced. And among all the solid tracks is this absolute gem. Seriously, this is one of the best things I've heard all year. It's that chorus! It just hits me in all the right places. It has a summery, beach-party vibe to it that's irresistible. No idea what they're saying, and I don't care. This will be streaming from my speakers OFTEN in the next few months.

...Transmissions come in from outposts all over the universe... Unfamiliar melodies stream into our radios... Fronted by colorful aliens with big voices... The music begins to catch on ... It's in our heads and it refuses to leave... And we like it...
