Comments: Good morning and happy Tuesday, everyone! Today's song comes to you by way of my friend Newt -- better known as DJ Abso-Newt-ly -- a man with exceptionally amazing taste in usic, and a virtual deity of electronic music. This track is the famed electronic duo Carousel covering Robyn's iconic "Dancing On My Own," with masterful results. The instrumentation somehow manages to be hauntingly clos e to the original but still have its own unique tone and feel, while the vocals give the song an overall mellow tone that I just love. This song is amazing -- check it out!

Comments: One of the most classic breakup songs I know, I absolutely love this song. For some reason, it was stuck in my head when I got up this morning, so I felt the need to share it. Frankly, I'm surprised I haven't used this song previously on the blog. Oh well, no time like the present.
Robyn delivers strong, heartfelt vocals throughout the song, backed by her electro-inspired beats. This song could be in the Smithsonian in an exhibit about music as the proper application of a kick drum in 4/4 time in a dance/pop song. I mean, seriously. This beat is classic. I've literally seen it in textbooks, and Robyn makes it fantastic. Enjoy, and keep dancing!
