Best Party Songs | “You Can Dance (Edwin Van Cleef Remix) – Chilly Gonzales

by felipeowen

"You Can Dance" - Single CoverI have to give credit and a “Thank You” to Schitz Popinov. I haven’t stopped listening to Chilly Gonzales now for the last 24 hours, especially this tune:

Mp3: “You Can Dance (Edwin Van Cleef Remix)” – Chilly Gonzales

I really can’t remember liking this “type” of song this much since The Knife’s “Heartbeats”, or perhaps Felix da Housecat’s “Ready 2 Wear”, which is strange because it’s almost a combination of the two. Equally strange is the fact that the Robotaki Remix is loved on hype machine 17 times the Edwin Van Cleef version. I guess, at first listen, Robotaki’s mix is catchier. Plus, fist pumpers staggeringly outnumber us regular folk.

Anyway, I thoroughly enjoy a song that can mix piano, cowbell, steel drums, and 80s synth. And the vocals. I’m not a voice kind of guy. But these vocals are reminiscent of MGMT a la “Kids”, but in a happier key. So I really, really dig.

So if you like dance tunes, give it a listen. The guy’s name is Chilly Gonzales.
