Life is a cabaret, old chums

I may have mentioned previously that Goldfrapp are musical genii. I'm not ashamed of it, and I'll continue to say so as long as they continue to prove me right.

Yesterday on Radio 1 they did a cover of The Ordinary Boy's "Boys Will Be Boys" in the style of a inter-war Berlin Cabaret act. Camp doesn't even begin to describe it.

Needless to say, the song is absolutely wonderful (Marlene Dietrich would have been proud) and you should listen to it before you do anything else with your day.

So, stop picking your nose and go to Radio One's "listen again" pages. Or, if you're one of those terrible criminals who insists on infringing copyright and destroying the music industry, click here to download it.

But don't expect me to protect you when the RIAA comes round in the middle of the night to stick a baseball bat up your nightdress.
