´óÏó´«Ã½

This is followed, a mere 15 seconds later (or so), by the weakest bit in the whole song, where Dizzee attempts to get away with rhyming "dance floor" with "dance floor", but fails.

You would think a rapper of his considerable experience would know better. Has he never heard of the rule of three? Has no-one ever told him that If you use the same word twice in a rhyming scheme, it looks like you couldn't think of anything better to say, if you do it three times, it's a theme, and therefore clever? Well, assuming that Mr Rascal is a devout ChartBlog reader (and who's to say he isn't? I know I am!), he can now consider himself told.

(There's loads of other examples of , particularly in comedy, where you act like you're listing a series of examples of something, and the third one is deliberately very different for comic effect. It doesn't work if it's the second one, or the fourth one. And I have no idea why.)

Anyway, I mention these two endearingly rubbish aspects to this multimedia package only because they are the two things which are in any way wrong with it. Everything else is brilliant, from Calvin Harris's old skool electro-disco backing to the octave leap whoops at the end of each line in the bridge (that "she ain't no hoooo" / "she's good to gooo" bit. Genius, it is).

And it's solved a key problem with Calvin Harris, which is that he tends to have one good idea per song, and stretches it a bit too thinly each time. Whereas the introduction of randy old Mr Rascal and his formidable flow has effectively cleared Calvin out of the way for most of the song. So when he does pop up, it's like seeing an old friend who you know gets on your nerves if you get chatting for ages, but you're pleased to catch up with from time to time.

So, no matter how tempting it may be to apply the rule of three to the star rating in a clever, self-referential, witty sort of way, common sense is going to have to prevail.

Well done everyone!
