"Dynamite" (CD single) (by Taio Cruz, Pop)

Hey it's Taio Cruz, and he's in the club! Watch out, as he needs plenty of room to wave his hands and show off his designer clothes. On "DYNAMITE," Cruz tells listeners that his presence is going to be explosive. And with pulsing techno beats and a bit of auto-tune thrown in for good measure, Cruz's party is hard to miss, although it's not one little kids should be invited to. There's an edited version available, which removes the one f-bomb.

Here's a single with some shining moments and some downright silly lyrics. Apparently Cruz can be quite the animated dancer, with lyrics like. "Give me some space for both my hands, hands, hands, hands," and at another moment the British-pop producer/singer goes Calypso with "I throw my hands up in the air sometimes, saying 'ay-oh,' gotta let go." Again with the hands? But there are some inspired moments as well, like the hypnotically-philosophical deeper lines "Cause it goes on and on and on. And it goes on and on and on" that feature a cool '80s sound. Overall, the song works because it's constantly changing things up, like a dancer with one too many moves.
