really boring winners
"fuck outta here" because "white flag" is too low? surely that, it's a great song, and dido's calm demeanour belies what's actually a completely mental lyric

It's possibly the finest piece of disco-pop of the 00s, what is better than it in that vein?

"come into my world" off the same album? britney's "anticipating"?

Both great, but no.

I think there is a certain air of absolute joyful plenitude and completeness and can-this-be-happening ecstaticness that a lot of disco-pop/house-pop anthems aspire to and that "Love At First Sight" actually nails.
Something like "Come Into My World" is going for a different vibe of escapist dreaminess (closer to "Can't Get You Out Of My Head", though that's slightly different again).
