It's a mystery how this blends together so many disparate elements-- classical strings, dumb back-up like "Run, run!", disco, "lover" pronounced to rhyme with "over" (so that my mondegreen was "Sweet-Talkin' Lola"), desperate longing, full-on rockin', tech-talk like "insufficient data coming through", etc.-- into one heady concoction. But I was in the middle of listening to it today and immediately wanted to replay it.
