It's just another simili-disco track based on a very cool guitar riff. It hardly qualifies as a song, does it?
I read a week ago that people were worried that a leaked Daft Punk was not "genuine". I had to laugh: Daft Punk are all about being derivative. The notion of being genuine is irrelevant. They are only fun inasmuch as they refer to other - more memorable - things.

Well it was better for being shorter. Still, isn't it often the way that the best songs are loved by some and hated by others?

I'm never convinced that a No2 is that big a hit.

Someone just said "this town ain't big enough" on TV covering local elections and I thought Sparks - brilliant - not even that big a hit but an essential ingredient of so many million peoples' lives.
"This Town Aint Big Enough For The Both Of Us" was a huge hit.
Reached number two in 1974, Number 40 in 1997 and reached number six when covered by Justin Hawkins in 2005!!
