Not one of my five, but “Naacho Naacho” deserves a mention not for the song but for the epic cinematic dance number it’s from. **RRR** really is just excessive in every way.

Me too. In fact there’s a couple here that fall into the category of “I hate songs like that!” but they’re just so goddamn good that they’re _Hors catégorie_, as it were. The other is Nightshift - overproduced sweet soul? No thank you - but it’s wonderful anyway. j ---

I also like Nightshift. I even like Bruce Springsteen’s recent cover. (I liked his whole soul cover album, but I know that I’m quite alone in that. The reviews all were bad) ---
