Mark Ronson f/Daniel Merriweather - "Stop Me"

[galvanize]

As everyone knows, this was a huge hit in the UK a few months ago peaking at #2 and it looks like it's getting quite some buzz here. Video's added to FUSE, and the song's been quite the indie hit for a few weeks now. People here would know him best from his duets with Lily Allen, Amy Winehouse his work with Christina Aguilera and his covers of "Toxic" & "God Put A Smile On Your Face". His album "Version" is brilliant. Perfect mix of soul, alternative, and pop music so far this yer.

Much like "Rehab", this has the potential to become the "Crazy" of 2007. It's the type of song that can cross all borders and perfectly fit on other genres of radio out at the moment.

The American version of this video is quite crap though: www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSXuFRvX2WI I prefer the first video.

This song just feels like a 2007 classic already in my eyes.

I am obsessed with this song. BBC Radio 1 on sirius plays this frequently. Isnt this a cover of a song by either The Smiths or Morrissey?

This song is amazing, and i love the Dirty South dance remix, not hip hop.

Correct you are. A cover of the classic Smiths song mixed in with a sample of the Supremes' "You Keep Me Hangin' On".

This is a great song but I don't see this catching on with mainstream buyers/listeners in the States. I hope I'm wrong, though. Either way, I think he'll gain a following here and hopefully the album will do okay.
