Check this buoyant piece of candyfloss, and try to tell me you don't like it. (Assuming all you death-metal kids have already moved on to bleaker things.) Sadly, this song is not actually about everyone's favorite stalag occupier and grandma kisser, but the giant horn hook is a shoulda-been game show theme-in-waiting, so I'm guessing that's where the title comes from. Speaking of hooks, this one is jampacked. Horns, swelling synths, bam-bam piano playing, back and forth vocal lines, woo hoo. And in keeping with the pop music tradition, the fast tempo and major key lifts seem to be hiding a dark and stormy relationship.
So, give Richard Dawson (2005) a spin, and try to do The Running Man along with it in honor of you-know-who. (Check out Scare Me Sweetly from B.C. Camplight's second album if you want a little more.)
