A radio hit reminiscent of the 80s The woman has a good voice but the band were a little late with the release, it should have been released around 2003, not 2010, at that time the 80s were already coming to an end in terms of musical style
I love how mean spirited the song is. Perfect 80's feel too. Oo-ooh, I've got a rocket Ooo-oh, you're going on it Ooo-oh, you're never coming back Lol. Bye!
After a long search that has lasted more than 5 years I can finally say I found the song of my childhood, this brings back so many memories I almost cried when I found it, what a masterpiece from Goldfrapp.
Goldfrapp has not had one disappointing album yet. She's amazing, talented, sexy, clever, and creative! Love the retro kick in the sound of this song; the scene where she taunts her "passenger" with a jelly baby makes me chuckle. :)
Who's here in 2023?! Loved this song ever since I read about it in a Bang & Olufsen magazine way back in the mid '00s. I come back every now and then to listen to this hidden, and sadly underrated gem of music and history.
This is perfection! They could have done a bunch of covers as tribute to the 80s, but they referenced all the best bits and created something that is their own and is inspired. I've read enough reviews that negates the quality of this album, but all I can say is that sometimes people like to make music that is just fun. Goldfrapp doesn't have to push the boundaries every single time, and I cannot find one misstep on Head First. I am one appreciative fan. Thank you for the awesome music.
Loved this song when it came out, remember it coming on the radio on the way to work. 80s synth is a common sound in modern music today and this song would probably be much more appreciated today than it was back then.
Doesn't everyone have some ex that they'd like to put on a rocket?? I love it when she sings "you're never coming back..." beautiful woman, beautiful singer, and makes me miss the 80's soo much!
Es increíble como esta canción genera una cierta nostalgia en mi, siendo que es una canción relativamente nueva. Ha de ser por ese sonido Vintage que logró Goldfrapp. Excelente canción!!
Marvel doesn't give a damn about promoting female characters. They only care about shitting all over white people and men as much as physically possible. You'll see a black, homosexual, female-presenting, wheelchair-bound Wolverine before they ever give Dazzler any decent air time in a movie or TV show.
Catchy song, very 80s. Ladyhawke, La Roux...with Goldfrapp twist...Goldfrapp is a mastermind, eclectical and fluent duo...they can make you cry deeply, get off at the dancefloor, rock you hard with glam and make 80s Pop songs...like this one...what's wrong with pop songs? it's the substance of culture and the tunes you always hum and dance, don't deminish pop songs....IT'S _GRRREATT!!!!
+gabriel dedalos I couldn't agree more. It was my first thought. I've never heard this song before. I only recently discovered Goldfrapp. it sounds classic 80's (Which I absolutely freakin love)
Will as the garage mechanic! Love Goldfrapp's fun and fantasies.Notice the small woollen hanging doll. With pins stuck in it! lol. Vengeful song with such a lovely upbeat melody.
I am a musician and a chess player. So, i always live my life traveling. 10 years ago i was in Tacna, Perú. i was a Teenager, i was playing a chess tournament, i was in the hotel, i turn on the tv, and this song appeared. I love it. Since that moment, every years i return here to listening. Good years of free life, school, universitiy, etc. Well, my life steal like this, but with more money.
First heard this song in idk when. About 3am, I heard noises in the living room and our TV had turned on to playing music videos. I sat out and watched a few. Idk how old I was, but it was very near the time of release of the song.
This album is a lot stronger than I originally thought on first listen. The title track, Head First, is particularly good. People who describe this album with phrases like "Omg that sounds soooo 80s" or "wow so retro" etc are really not appreciating all it has to offer. Granted it is quite different from anything they have produced before, but it is a slick, clever and well produced album - and it is FAR MORE than an 80s cliché.
Goldfrapp siempre estuvo a la vanguardia. Hoy todos hacen música como en los ochenta (Dua Lipa, The Weekend, etc.) Debería ser más reconocida en la música Pop.
Starting something Thought could be fun Started something Couldn't go on Danger, heartache I always knew There's no winner In this game you lose But I still wanna know How she got in the door uninvited? Ohh, I got a rocket Ohh, you're going on it Ohh, you're never coming back Cliches, secrets Stories unfold Fooled by passion Losing control Danger, heartache Something has died No good pretending I'm leaving this time But I still wanna know How she got in the door uninvited? Ohh, I got a rocket Ohh, you're going on it Ohh, you're never coming back Ohh, I got a rocket Ohh, you're going on it Ohh, you're never coming back You're never coming back You're never coming back again, no, no You're going out on your own You're never coming back You're never coming back again, oh no You're going out on your own Ohh, I got a rocket Ohh, you're going on it Ohh, you're never coming back Ohh, I got a rocket Ohh, you're going on it Ohh, you're never coming back You're never coming back We have lift off
I dunno "alive" = Supertramp "goodbye stranger". Thank you for making me look up the word pastiche though, can't wait to drop it convo and watch people act like they know what I'm talking about hahahahah
Desde que escuché este pedazo de tema quedé eclipsada por su magia... No puedo dejar de pensar en ella... en en el ritmo... en la melodía... Estaría oyéndola una vez tras otra! Es realmente una joya como hacia mucho que no descubria!! Mil GRACIAS, Goldfrapp por vuestro regalo! Thank you! Thank You! Thank you!
Ok, the lirycs talk about vengeance and a broken heart, and those are a very common issues in music and literature. And thats why a good artist as Goldfrapp connects with the persons. This is very 80´s and it´s brilliant. Very good to listen, to dance and the video is a excellent and funny fantasy of that all we want to do to that... special person. GOLDFRAPP WE SALUTE YOU!!!
Who could possibly cover this & do it justice!!!??? Probably a few folk but what would or could they bring to it that would accentuate it's sheer buzzing Camp Pop Brilliance???!!! Mwah 💋
If people actually listened to the song, they might realise that these are painful lyrics about a horrible break-up. It's the pain of love lost disguised as a feel-good melody.
"...about a horrible break-up"?! *No it's not.* It's about the false promises of "new you" groups, like est, Lifespring, Krishna Consciousness, etc. The lyrics are pretty obvious: "Join our group and you will find Harmony and peace of mind Make it better We're here to welcome you We're all on a journey to Finding the real inner you Make it better We're here to welcome you"
My parents never heard of this British electronic pop duo before. They heard this song in the car on my iPhone 3G. We were on our way to LA and Anaheim, California last Sunday in September.
