HOT CHIP – Ready For The Floor (2008)

Hot Chip are an English synthpop band formed in London in 2000. The group consists of multi-instrumentalists Alexis Taylor, Joe Goddard, Al Doyle, Owen Clarke, and Felix Martin. They are occasionally joined by former member Rob Smoughton for live performances and studio recordings. The group primarily produces music in the synth-pop and alternative dance genres, drawing influences from house and disco.

Hot Chip began as a bedroom recording project for Taylor and Goddard, who met while students at Elliott School, Putney; their earliest lineup included Smoughton as their drummer. After completing two EPs, Mexico (2001) and San Frandisco (2002), the group released their debut album, Coming on Strong (2004) and added Doyle, Clarke, and Martin to their lineup. The band’s second album, The Warning (2006), was nominated for the Mercury Prize. Their follow-up, Made in the Dark (2008), included the single “Ready for the Floor”, which was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording. The band have subsequently released the albums One Life Stand (2010), In Our Heads (2012), Why Make Sense? (2015), A Bath Full of Ecstasy (2019), and Freakout/Release (2022). Wikipedia

Instead of carving up the wall Why don’t you open up me tall I am ready, I am ready for a fall

Instead of carving up the wall Why don’t you open up me tall We are ready, we are ready for the floor

I can’t hear your voice, do I have a choice? I’m hoping with chance, you might take this dance I can’t hear your voice, do I have a choice? (You’re sinking below, I’m using my force) I’m hoping with chance, you might take this dance You’re my number one guy

Instead of carving up the wall Why don’t you open up me tall I am ready, I am ready for a fall

Instead of carving up the wall Why don’t you open up me tall We are ready, we are ready for the floor

I can’t hear your voice, do I have a choice? (You’re sinking below, I’m using my force) I’m hoping with chance, you might take this dance You’re my number one guy Number one guy Number, number, number, number, number, One, one, one, one, one guy

Stand carving up the wall (One, one guy) Why don’t you open up at all? (Number, number, number one)I am ready, I am ready for a fall

Stand carving up the wall (Number one, one, one) Why don’t you open up at all? (Guy, guy) We are ready, we are ready for the floor

Stand carving up the wall (Number, number, one, one) Why don’t you open up at all? (Guy) I am ready, I am ready for a fall

Stand carving up the wall (Number, number, one, one) Why don’t you open up at all? (Number, number, one, one) We are ready for the floor
