Andrew Amurrio - “Intoxicated”
Andrew Amurrio’s “Intoxicated” is a clever and entertaining disco parody that will have you tapping your feet and wanting to dance. It is done very tastefully and the accompanying video is excellent, with the singer sporting various dodgy 1970s styles that perfectly capture the spirit of the song. Everything about the song has “good vibes” about it.
The song starts with a disco drum beat and a funky bass line that sets the tone perfectly and immediately gets you in the mood to move. All the classic disco percussion sounds are included, and claps add to the overall feel that you’re on a dance floor. The guitar has a similar vibe to Daft Punk's “Get Lucky,” with its silky Nile Rodgers sound.
The vocal performance is breathy and effortless, reaching higher registers when needed. The lyrics are well written, and despite the parody aspect, I found them not to be cliché. The ear candy in the song is brilliant and proves that a real attention to detail has been used when mixing the song.
Overall, “Intoxicated” is well-crafted and entertaining. The parody aspect is done with great care and attention, and the song is a great tribute to the disco era. This is a song that will be sure to put a smile on your face and get you dancing.
The artist describes the song: “A soundscape of Disco Rock Infused in Indy Heaven. An anthem for anyone who’s taken things too far.”
