Hey Today!‘s remix of “Blockhead” wisely keeps things focused on the Punks Jump Up original’s arcade racecar hook (“prepare to qualify!”). Instead of adding extra material to their remix, Hey Today! creates a different kind of dancefloor sensation by dropping beats from almost every bar, turning every 4th beat into a little hook that literally forces me to do a little head-tilt every time (followed by a quick glance around to see if any of my coworkers are noticing this new tic I’ve got).
It’s a subtle difference but it adds a whole new layer of fun to an already great track.
