Girls Aloud - Sound of the Underground
Disco dancing with the lights down low
Beats are pumping on ma stereo
Nieghbours banging on the bathroom wall
He's sayin' crank the bass I
Gotta get some more
Waters runnin' in the wrong direction
Got a feelin' it's a mixed up sign
I can see it in my own reflection
Somethin' funnies goin' on inside my mind
Don't know what it's pushin' me higher
It's the static from the floor below
Then it's drops and catches like a fire
It's a sound I...
It's the sound of the underground
The beat of the drum goes round and round
In to the overflow
Where the girls get down to the sound of the radio
Up to the electric night
Where the bass line jumps to the backstreet lights
The beat goes around and round
It's the sound of the under
Sound of the underground
Chain reaction running through my veins
Pumps the bass line up into my brain
Screws my mind until I lose control
And when the building rocks I know it's got my soul
Waters runnin' in the wrong direction
Got a feelin' it's a mixed up sign
I can see it in my own reflection
Summit funnies goin' on inside my mind
Don't know what it's pushin' me higher
It's the static from the floor below
Then it's drops it catches like a fire
It's a sound I, it's a sound I know
It's the sound of the underground
The beat of the drum goes round and round
In to the overflow
Where the girls get down to the sound of the radio
Up to the electric night
Where the bass line jumps to the backstreet lights
The beat goes around and round
It's the sound of the under
Sound of the underground
I don't know what it's pushin' me higher
It's the static from the floor below
And then it drops and catches like fire
It's a sound I, it's a sound I
It's a sound I, it's a sound I know
It's the sound of the underground
The beat of the drum goes round and round
In to the overflow
Where the girls get down to the sound of the radio
Up to the electric night
Where the bass line jumps to the backstreet lights
The beat goes around and round
It's the sound of the under
Sound of the underground
The bass line jumps in the backstreet light
It's the sound of the under
Sound of the underground
The bass line jumps in the backstreet light
It's the sound of the under
Sound of the underground
"Sound of the Underground" is the debut single by British pop group Girls Aloud, later featured on their debut album of the same name. The song was written by Miranda Cooper, Brian Higgins, and Niara Scarlett, and produced by Higgins and his production team Xenomania. Following Girls Aloud's formation on the ITV1 reality television show Popstars: The Rivals, "Sound of the Underground" was released just sixteen days later on 16 December 2002. Commercially, the song was an immediate success. It became the year's Christmas number one in the UK, spending four consecutive weeks atop of the charts in total. The song also reached number one in Ireland and peaked within the top forty in Australia, Belgium, the Netherlands, Sweden and Switzerland. The music video was recorded in an empty London warehouse days after Girls Aloud were formed. The song has been performed by Girls Aloud in a number of live appearances including Popstars: The Rivals and each of Girls Aloud's concert tours. Critically appreciated for its juxtaposition of surf guitar against electronic beats, "Sound of the Underground" was praised for its quality for both a girl group and a reality television act. The song was referred to as a defining moment of the decade musically, credited with reshaping British pop for the 2000s.
