Dance With Somebody.... Or Better Don't!

What IS that? was the first thought to cross my mind when stumbling over Sweden's hottest rock band's (Mando Diao, of course) new single Dance With Somebody. Though it doesn't seem to have anything to do with Jennifer Rush' similar-named track, Dance With Somebody does make you dance. Plus, it's extremely catchy. And it makes you sing along after listening it the second time. Is that a good sign? Is a Mando Diao song supposed to be catchy? Danceable? So disco? NO!
Where are you, Mando Diao? I so miss songs like God Knows, Cut The Rope, Killer Kaczynski, and Motown Blood, where you showed the whole world how Sweden can rock!
But now? Now you're producing smooth songs, which turn out to be perfect coffee party radio songs. After my having heard the new single for like three times, I had enough of it, couldn't hear it anymore. You're so not mando anymore. Please, please, let Dance With Somebody be an exception on the up-coming album Give Me Fire! With Mando Diao's potential, the new CD must have more to offer than a catchy dance track... hopefully at least!
