Oh No - What the Fox Say?

[Jim - Scotland's Party DJ]

It's hit our Radio One Top 40 at number 24!!



I think since the dawn of the pop video the actual song has become less and less relevant. I really don't think songs such as Eric Prydz Call On Me or Benny Benassi's Satisfaction would have gotten anywhere without those videos. Madonna's Justify My Love wasn't her greatest musical achievement but the video was notorious. When was the last time the non-video DJs were asked for these tracks?

I think there's still got to be some substance to the song no matter how tenuous it might be. Satisfaction is a pretty rubbish song but it has a good hook and Call on Me is a cracking tune whicever way you cut it. On the flipside something like that Yeah Yeah Yeahs song with the treadmills is a brilliant video but it's faded into obscurity because the music itself wasn't much cop in the long run.

If music choice was based on how good the video was we'd all be spinning Weezer's Buddy Holly at every gig

3 of my last 4 gigs have featured it.

Requested and played last night to a lukewarm reception. It's actually something I could use with the kids as the video is quite fun, but typically I can't find a (legal) music video for it.

Bah.

Music video is available on xtendamix. Played at every gig this weekend and went down well at all of them, 2 weddings, christening and a 21st birthday.

Its a bit of fun in this far too serious world

If that's true how do you explain Mr Blobby???

I downloaded this track on Saturday afternoon just in case for that night's party and lo and behold. What was the very first request of the night? The main stream music charts are actually getting worse and didn't think that could be possible

Sorry to go a bit "business" on this but music videos are essentially creating a brand for the artist and their music. There are plenty of average products which are purchased by the masses despite their inferior quality due to expense and clever marketing and music is definitely a brilliant example of how absolute howlers (pun intended) of tracks can become hits.

Well I can't believe that nobody here actually remembers what the Fox says.
