Below are the 2 covers for the upcoming McFly single, "Transylvania", which is by far the greatest single of their ENTIRE career.
And then there's the video clip, which is by far the greatest video of their ENTIRE career.
Absolute genius. This song is completely left-of-centre for McFly and so not the obvious "safe" choice for a single, which makes it all the more enjoyable. Nothing has upset me more in recent months than the publics lack of interest in their most recent album, "Motion In The Ocean" which - without a doubt - is their finest accomplishment. Their first album, whilst still lush to listen to - has not exactly aged very well. "Wonderland" will forever remain as one of the greatest musical flows of all time - if not a little depressing. But the new album truly is a happy medium of the two. It's four young boys slowly growing into young men, who've found their voices, their sound and - hopefully - their clothes.

My one criticism would be the single remix for "Transylvania"--it sounds to me like they've changed the "racing racing" bit, and it's less stop-start (and less dramatic) now. Still, that's a small, small criticism of a brilliant song.
I just don't understand why this album--easily their best ever--is being ignored. It's one of the few I've actually played for people over here, and no one has failed to be impressed by it.
(I need to start leaving comments on your non-McFly posts...I'm at risk of seeming a little overly focused on one group!)

The single mix of "Transylvania" does indeed have an altered "racing pacing" bit, I guess they were willing to move out of their safety zone, but not THAT much perhaps?
11:11 AM | Chris said... ok how much do i like this song, lol! Mainly because Dougie gets to sing the chorus, it's great that his voice is finally being showcased on this single.
I've always wanted them to release 'Transylvania' as a single but never thought it was possible (being a b-side to Star Girl).
The video is not what i expected, bit disappointed to be honest. Plus the live performance of the single on the 'Al Murry Happy Hour' wasn't that great. Yes me being too critcal.
