\"Scissorsisters_1\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

I was shopping at a store the other day when this little diddy by the Scissors Sisters<\/a> started playing and ironically I couldn’t help but to start nodding my head and tapping my toes because this tune is so infectious.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here’s what one review of their latest album Ta Dah!<\/a> says, "Since not liking the Scissor Sisters is tantamount to not liking fun, let’s just assume that everyone already adores this band and go on from there, OK? It’s hard to imagine no one had ever called an album Ta Dah!<\/em> before, but then these sexy troubadours have no trouble subtly reworking the past to make it almost-new and always joyous. They may have emerged in a brief window when campy pastiche rock seemed like the next big thing, but the Scissor Sister possess an elevated enough sense of fun, popcraft, and good enough connections to carry them for years.<\/p>\n

The wonderful confection "Don’t Feel Like Dancin," was co-written with Sir Elton John, and it sounds like Abba, Fleetwood Mac and Xanadu<\/em> all at once. Other tunes might have you thinking of Bowie or the Bee Gees or Prince or Pink Floyd or even the Carpenters, but only as cagily reimagined in a glittery, wonderful world." –Mike McGonigal<\/em> <\/p>\n
