19. Arthur Argent - 'Hold Your Head Up' (Soulwax remix)
There are other versions of this that are okay, but the Soulwax remix is the one that really hits the spot. The bored, arch female vocal would be played out WERE IT NOT for the fact that in this case it's so clearly a strategy for hiding the heartache and shrugging off the bullies and the bigots. Y'know, the reason I fell in love with this song over the weekend, aside from its actual qualities, was seeing how much of an anthem it so clearly is for atypical girls and boys... Watching them mouth along to the words as the music builds and builds. There's definitely some kind of 'Downtown' / 'I Will Survive' / 'Say A Little Prayer' thing going on.
Don't ever let them know. Don't ever let them know.
