The Best Stupid Song

In a previous blog post I mentioned how apart from a few exceptions I can’t stand songs that sing something like “na na na’s” or “la la la’s” in the chorus. Especially the use of it by British bands in the 90s to disguise their lack of song writing and musicianship. The Super Fury Animals song The International Language Of Screaming being an exception. Well the Wilson Picket’s Land Of A Thousand Dances takes the na na na’s to the extreme. Not only that but the verse’s are lyrically just as banal. Its basicaly listing types of dances. But as stupid as it is, with the bands driving rhythm and Picket’s voice I defy anyone to not like the song.
