My iPod #172: They Might Be Giants - Celebration

Here is another celebration. This time by They Might Be Giants, for about the fourth time already in the 'C' series. The fun never ends.

"Celebration" is a Flansburgh penned 'They' song, and is an observational commentary of a night out in a club but filled with imagery and vocabulary use that only the two Johns could ever think of. That's about all there is to it, really. I make it sound very tame, but the disco beat of that chorus, Flansburgh's vocal manipulation and the catchy 'oh-oh-ohs' are only a few of things that make the tune one of the most enjoyable from "Join Us".

Listen out for a Phil Collins drum fill that occurs near the end.
