Well, Now You Know (stripped)

Mix 93.3 Jingley Things

Georgio Moroder is a genius, I can say that unequivocally, but he just might not have taken his genius tablets on this day, making this version.

Georgio thought he’d make a dance version of this track and that was always going to be a problem, because dance music then was at between 120 and 140 beats per second. And Sputnik songs - all of them - were at 196 bpm. I’m not sure what dustbin at EMI this got assigned to, even though it’s quite an interesting groove. We never did get nicked for the Dolf Lungren vocal sample from the Rocky 4 trailer either, the bit where he goes “And soon the whole world will know my name.” Me and Degville found ourselves queuing up for the buffet at a party once with the Dolf. I wish I’d had my tape recorder with me, I could have got him to redo the sample for me. Damn, missed opportunity. 

Anyway this is a completists curio.

Moroder's Dance

Deg and X had a chorus for the title. I can remember writing these lyrics at JSP's house in Clarkenwell, sitting at her big desk, with its views over Clerkenwell, before it became trendy. The house was built on one of the last remaining bomb sites in London and designed by the architect Piers Gough. The lyrics all fit together in one of those perfect jigsaw puzzle ways. Deg astounded me when he claimed “Malaya” did not rhyme with (as he pronounced it) “Mar BELLA”. I liked the Aerosmith, Run DMC bit, obviously their starting point. Deg came up with a fiery vocal for once after a barren patch.
