Mary Mary - Shackles (Praise You)

1. That weird Tiny Tim-esque tweet that starts the song off
2. "I don't mind though... just glad to be free"
3. People don't do hype manning like this any more. "Yeah" "Uh" "Watcha gon' do?"
4. Corny pop turntable scratching last seen, other than this, in "Every Morning" by Sugar Ray
5. "Praise you through my circumstance"
6. Emancipation is a bit like Jesus which in turn is a bit like sex
7. Sounds a bit like "Ain't Nobody" in points, but better.
8. Handclaps outside of indie: more
9. The uber-autotuned "Can't take it no maw-aw-aw-aw-aw-aw-are"
10. "Wooooo yayayayayayayayayayayerrrr" "Woahahahahahahaahahhwoooo"
11. Best single of the decade, surely?

one year passes...

subtle vocoder decoration is the most awesome of production gimmicks in the history of the universe imo

one year passes...

"Shackles (Praise You)" vs. "God In Me" vs. "Walking"

all three of these singles are 10/10 imo

the uber-autotuned "i can lift my hands" = dope
