One more time deluxe thread

[Coddled Jan]

I love the verses, bridge, final chorus and it stops there. The rest is too busy. Definitely get why people like it, but I can’t get through it after first few listens.

SORRY!

Ya it so so to me. The riff is cool but it just sounds like yet another rehash of the snake charmer riff

I like the song a lot but this is 100% true.  Tom has been going to that well for a longggggg time now.

DWM is in my bottom 3. The chorus is just so grating to me. 

I'm curious, would you say 'Take Me In' is better than DWM?

I like Take Me In more, yes.

It’s the repetition. X15 “Yeah, we’re doing it all night long”s just drive me up the wall. I can understand why people like the song, but for me it ain’t it.

I never liked Dance With Me much either. It’s the ole’s for me. They just don’t fit. I’d gladly take another na na na instead.

It's more tolerable than... "You don't know what you've got (x100)" because at least the chorus for DWM is quick and over with and doesn't take that long while YDKYG is a song that drones on and on while the chorus just makes the song even more obnoxious to listen to.

I used to like YDKWYG until the repetition got to me. The reason I enjoyed it more than DWM is because I felt Mark’s lyrics were touching.

Well you see, the nauseating repetition is the beauty of it. An underrated gem!

I will admit Mark's verses are great, but the chorus KILLS the song for me... That song should have been sat on longer and released with a much better (and less annoying) chorus. Sadly it wasn't so the song ultimately ends up being a miss for me.

They were absolutely right he first time to put the Oles in at the end as a finale/surprise.  Having it be the base chorus as a chant just kills it.

If you’re talking about YDKWYG I’d agree. It’s very intentionally repeating the chorus and not lazy or however ppl are taking it.  Love that song.

one thing that surprise me about the songs as good as i find them is how short they feel, and how they tend to feel like they are cut short on purpose or not, its bizarre

ive never felt like this about any blink songs fast/short or whatever

maybe its best its like that so it doesnt force boring parts in but its a ood feeling still

They are the right length, minus the extensive intros of No Fun, AIMH back to back, and of course Take Me In every minute is too long.

The ole’s are great and fun and the final chorus kicks so much ass because the ole’s were there in the first place.

Yeah, the Ole's are there for the song to be an obvious sing along like I imagine the concerts they play at get so loud and even if it's your first time hearing the song you can sing along to it without any issue.

Also maybe the song was made to be a sports anthem? I showed it to my friend who's big into soccer/futball and he was like, "Yeah, It can definitely be a world cup song..." I know the term Ole gets chanted a lot when it comes to certain sports and areas of the world.

The Olés are there off the bat because Rufus Toofus or whatever songwriter in the room wanted to use blink to try and create a new radio jam instead of letting Tom eloquently craft the song as he originally intended (Olés at the end, end as the real chorus)

Honestly DWM was the best part of seeing them live. I did not expect the Ole’s to hit so hard.

Oles in the first chorus's and lyrics at the end are what make the song. Wouldnt be half as good if he sang the end bit the whole song

It hits so fucking hard live. One of the best parts of the show.
