T.R.A.C.S club tune

Ever since that we have parties; the song "Sledgehammer" is our club song.
Tim always plays it at the end of his set. I picked that song because of this line in the lyrics;
"You could have a steam train. If you'd just lay down your tracks."

Last weekend I listen to the lyrics of Vocal, a song of the Pet Shop Boys, and I decided that it is our club tune from now one.

Vocal (Pet Shop Boys song)
"Vocal" is the second single from the Pet Shop Boys album Electric, released on 3 June 2013.
Vocal" was written during the writing process for the 2012 album Elysium, and was one of the earliest tracks written for the album. The track, however, wasn't included on the record for it didn't fit the rest of the "somber" and "reflective" material. It was instead recorded for Electric and was released as the album's second single.

Pet Shop Boys
Pet Shop Boys are an English electronic pop duo, consisting of Neil Tennant (main vocals, keyboards, occasional guitar), and Chris Lowe (keyboards, occasional vocals).

Pet Shop Boys have sold more than 50 million records worldwide, and are listed as the most successful duo in UK music history by The Guinness Book of Records. Three-time Brit Award winners and six-time Grammy nominees, since 1985 they have achieved 42 Top 30 singles and 22 Top 10 hits in the UK Singles Chart, including four UK number ones: "West End Girls" (also number one on the US Billboard Hot 100), "It's a Sin", a remake of Wayne Carson's "Always on My Mind" and "Heart". Other hit songs include a remake of The Village People's "Go West", "Opportunities (Let's Make Lots of Money)" (satire of Thatcherism which exemplified them as ironists) and "What Have I Done to Deserve This?" (with Dusty Springfield).

At the 2009 Brit Awards, Pet Shop Boys received an award for Outstanding Contribution to Music. The band's eleventh studio album, titled Elysium (continuing their tradition of single-word titles), was released in September 2012. Their twelfth studio album Electric was released on 12 July 2013 and reached number 3 on the UK Albums Chart in its first week of release—their highest album position since the release of Very in 1993.
Music video
The music video was directed by Joost Vandebrug. It is a tribute to rave culture and electronic music. It consists of a compilation of various amateur videos recorded circa the Summer of Rave in 1989.

Vocal lyrics

I like the people
 I like the song
 This is my kind of music
 They play it all night long
 I like the singer
 He's lonely and strange
 Every track has a vocal
 and that makes a change

And everything about tonight feels right and so young
 And anything I'd want to say out loud will be sung

It's in the music
 It's in the song
 Everyone I hoped would be around
 has come along
 for the music

It's in the music
It's in the song
 And the feeling of the warmth around us all
is so strong
 It's in the music

And everything about tonight feels right and so young
 And anything I'd want to say out loud will be sung

This is my kind of music
 They play it all night long

Expressing passion
 Explaining pain
 Aspirations for a better life
 are ordained

And everything about tonight feels right and so young
 And anything I'd want to say out loud will be sung

This is my kind of music
 They play it all night long

It's in the music

And everything about tonight feels right and so young
 And anything I'd want to say out loud will be sung

It's in the music
 It's in the music

This is my kind of music
 They play it all night long
 They play it all night long
 And the feeling of the warmth around us all
is so strong

I like the people
 I like the song
 This is my kind of music
 They play it all night long
 I like the singer
 He's lonely and strange
 Every track has a vocal
 and that makes a change
