"Bad Gyal"
― rob, Tuesday, 13 April 2021 20:12 (one year ago) link
โBring Rumโ wins this one hands-down for me. โBad Gyalโ (thereโs a remix by Amsterdam-based German producer Jonasu, who Iโve never heard of, as well) is fun, but tries just a little bit too hard to be all summery, while โBring Rumโ works both as a lockdown chillout-in-the-park song and as a low-key post-vacc celebration anthem. (it also has a Balloon-like did he go there oh I guess maybe not double take moment: grab a woman every man grab a woman every woman grab a man)
― Blick, Bils & Blinky โข Let's Skip The Shaker Intros (breastcrawl), Tuesday, 13 April 2021 21:21 (one year ago) link
very strong vote for 'bring rum' here too, basically for the same reasons breastcrawl says, with added horny police
― imago, Tuesday, 13 April 2021 21:43 (one year ago) link
and also it goes on too long. 'bring rum' like 'balloon' is the perfect length

Not sure why you need to call the horny police on someone whoโs just trying to break into dance management
