\"Dan“Thou Shalt Always Kill” by Dan Le Sac vs. Scroobius Pip<\/span><\/p>\n

A curiosity more than anything, this odd collaboration between Brit producers Dan Le Sac<\/a> and Scroobius Pip<\/a> has nevertheless been quite the phenomenon in both England and the States. There’s not much to it, really. Le Sac lays down the metallic beats and Msr. Pip speaks\/raps through a series of commandments. I’ve come back to it a few times since I first heard it and every time I dig it a little more.<\/p>\n

I think the appeal lies in its lyrics. There’s a stand being taken here. It’s a manifesto of sorts that cautions people from doing things like worshiping pop idols who are, in the end, “just a band,” or against assuming that anyone nice to children who are not their own must be a pedophile, and even insists that Phoenix be spelled more like it sounds. It’s all tongue in cheek and perhaps, this time next year, I’ll chalk this up to a sort of zeitgeist-y fad, but for now, I’ll keep playing it. At very high volume.<\/p>\n

\"Dan<\/p>\n

The video is worth checking out as well. Rather than embed it here, though, I’ll send you over to Techsploder<\/a>, which posts the video AND the lyrics. There’s also a nifty Kam Denny Mix out there that does some great dance floor stuff with the track (also excerpted below.)<\/p>\n
