Datarock – I Used to Dance with My Daddy

The two guys from Datarock

Datarock seems to be one of those bands that is better recognized by the mashups and remixes of their songs rather than by the songs themselves. That may explain why the biggest DJs in the world are sampling their songs, yet they’re a band that still can’t fill a major venue in San Francisco.

I Used to Dance with My Daddy isn’t as well-known as their jam Fa-Fa-Fa, which is featured in a Coca Cola commercial as well as in the video games Fifa ’08, NHL ’08, and NBA Live ’08, though its equally as catchy and emblematic of their electro rock sound, kind of a Cut Copy without synthesizers.

Datarock is a Norwegian band, but all of their songs are in English. One of my favorite parts about the band is that they play all of their shows in matching red jumpsuits.

I actually prefer the original version of this jam over the many remixes, but I’ve included a remix by Comet below.
