My perspicatious ear has spotted another separated-at-birth song combo. This time it’s the new track Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains) off Arcade Fire’s new record, Suburbs and Blondie’s uber classic, Heart of Glass. The similarity breaks down in the chorus, but the verse structures are very similar, in a good way. It’s a killer song, and prooves that deep down, everyone loves them some disco.
You be the judge.
And, for what it’s worth, I once saw the drummer from Blondie give the light man at a show the worse public profanity whipping I’ve ever seen. Let’s just say he had a real flair for creative use of the word sucker.
