Hold tight,
Swing your hips twice,
You know it feels right
Come on and dance with me.

Love this. Reminds me of the very infectious energy of Deelite. 
Oh yeah, it’s great that RP plays it and fights against getting stuck in a rut.

Catchy but I'm on the fence with this as it is quite repetitive.

Wow, they went overboard writing that meaningful and moving lyric. More effort taken there even than in the musical arrangement.

Boringly repetitive.  Is it all on loops?

Gold Fish 'Hold Tight' - up from a 5 to a 6 for me. i don't care, it makes me smile {#Smile} and what can be wrong with that. Still waiting to get the chance to hear this in the car in the summer, windows & foot down, i reckon this is gona be a speeding ticket song!! (that part might be a bit wrong tho . . . )

On the down side, i don't know if i'll be able to listen to RP at the new job or not (man i so hope so!!), but where theres a will . . .

Goldfish like this song because they only have a 3-second memory.
Ooo I like that new sax riff!
Ooo I like that new sax riff!
Ooo I like that new sax riff!
Ooo I like that new sax riff!
Ooo I like that new sax riff!

Although I do like how, if you tell the sax to GO AWAY, it does! But then it sneaks its way back in, and starts the party again, like Snoopy dancing on Schroeder's piano...

This logic never fails to baffle me. I'm capable of pressing the keys on a piano to produce the sound of a piece by Mozart; that doesn't mean I could've written it!

If you're producing music of this standard, hats off to you! But why are you knocking it?

Otherwise, pipe down.

I think Bev forgot she was writing a post. Maybe when she's done swimming around the bowl she'll(or he'll) start up again and take us to the ending. {#Cheesygrin}

Giving it a big fat 10 because Radio Paradise should play ALL KINDS OF MUSIC and this is a fine example of a dance floor filler.
