Lol! I haven't seen all the videos, but did see this one!  |

The more I listen to this song, the more I like it! There's so much going on here that it's hard to be bored. I love the blend of different styles. As soon as you're completely dominated by one type of sound, another one (completely different) begins. Definitely a stand out track.
By the way, during the reggae part, I think Jay sounds a bit like young Sting in those early The Police records, especially ''Regatta De Blanc'' (White man's reggae). |

Exactly what I thought. (I said "The Police" somewhere...)
But I hate to keep saying "This song sounds like this band". But I can't help it. I hear so many styles on this album, and some remind me so much of other artists, songs, or other bands.
But eventually all songs will become their own. |

Hey, HoneyBee,
I'm glad that I'm not the only who thinks that! 
Mind you, I meant it as a compliment, because I really like The Police, especially those early records. They were in a league of their own.
That said, I agree with you. In time all RDLS songs will become their own. |

This song is stunning! No wonder why Jay said it's his favourite from this album.
'Hey Floyd, don't get your mind in a mess again!'

Gina and Cesar: I had the same feeling about Sting/Regatta de blanc but on Goodbye to my dancer when he sings: "Got-your-letter just; YESTERDAY"

Love the percussive intro and the shifting musical arrangements. There's a lot of styles and instruments to get your teeth into. Nice to hear artists go against the grain and try something non-formulaic. I especially like the transition to reggae. I concur with the references to The Police. It was the first thing I thought when I heard that part. Quite an unorthodox track, and it works, really well.
I’m going to take my time with listening to this album. After such a long wait I’m not going to wolf it down in one go with prejudice like I think some people have. (Although I admit I couldn’t and still can’t stand RDLS from the moment I heard it, ugh  .) Thumbs up from me for Hey Floyd.  |

I knew that this reggae-rock thang would pop up soon enough for Jay!...
I'm I wrong or have they only played this once this tour so far (Zurich 3-18-11) ???
I think my band will make an attempt at covering this one.

"So what you gonna do Floyd?
I gotta know, gotta know what
you're gonna do
What ya gonna do, what ya gonna do?
What ya gonna do Floyd?
I gotta know, I've gotta know what
you're going to do"
As for me, the strangest track in the album (in a good way . I like it . |
