What a nice thing to take a song that was good before and make it good again! Some may say it's stealing, but hey, think practical, you wouldn't listen to the old song anyway. And that's true for anything in life. Cause people were doing stuff before and most of the times, their work could easily be modified to fit our times and be very useful again. Even if it's in our blood, we shouldn't try to do everything by ourselves.
Anyway, Röyksopp were wiser than most of us and they thought that one part of a Parliament song from 1976 called 'Do That Stuff' - pay attention at the 0:36 and 2:44 marks - could be an interesting idea to develop into a song. They released it today as the first single of their new album that is going to be out in exactly a week. It's called 'Happy Up Here', and even if it's less poetic than 'Eple' from Melody A.M., it's still a very good song.
Although released today, the song had already leaked two months ago and a few remixes have appeared since then, including a very good re-interpretation by Holy Fuck. They transformed the song completely and made another musical gem out of it, without the feel-good aspect. That's the version you will be able to download today on your favorite music blog.
