Almost 12 years later, this song is still a banger.

[averychaco]

Revisiting old favorites is so weird.
deadmau5 was, an a way, pivotal to my music taste.
Thank you deadmau5, you've really shaped me.

[JStack]

I’m so glad he decided to make a hard house record like this to prove he could. Defined a genre then, and still does now.

[c--xerox]

Wasn't ever a fan of this song until recently, and I can't get over how grungy that drop is!!

[DarkAngelRyuk]

Absolute banger even after so many years.

[spiralwhirlpool]

This song was lit in NFS: Hot Pursuit
Every time this song is blasting, I never crash

[twentysecondcenturywoman]

I’ve only recently found this song, and I genuinely cannot find other music like this. Deadmau5 is one of a kind. This song is so well done. I don’t think this will ever age and I hope it doesn’t. I can’t get over how good it is to me.

[keeshalynette]

"Youre just too sweet so you get on my nerves and hurt like cavities; you left a bad taste in my mouth; my sour patch kid" gets me every time 😂😍most favorite lyrics of the song hahaha

[elvarchris]

Holy crap this song came out 11 years ago?! Danm Deadmau5's music is really ahead of it's time!

[bluesky]

I will never get tired of this one. Never. Sofia Toufa also did great with the lyrics.

[CianGR]

Hot Pursuit really shaped my music taste today, after listening to these songs 13 years ago half of them are still on my playlist 😂

[rohanmital]

That 30 seconds between 1:05 and 1:35 are the most simplistic, brilliant, funky 30 seconds I've ever listened to. I don't know why, I'm just obsessed with that part of the song.

[robertsexton]

My son turned me onto dub & house music & I can’t get enough of deadmau5 especially this one 🤘🏻

[Jaynene_rainey]

Deadmau5 is so unique. I love this guy. I forget how crazy good he is until i listen again. Been a fan since either 2009 or 2010. Idk exactly which year. I did a lot of partying 🥴🫠

[shazam]

i still remember when i heard this song for first time while playing NFS Hot Pursuit, it was back in 2010 :)

[onix]

14 years later, here i am. goin back to the basics i heard back in the day... good times. thanks deadmau5 for so much. cheers from argentina

[briankidd]

The only Dj who's never disappointed me live after seeing him 5 different times.😊

[adindamanis-jj]

It's been almost 4 years without getting bored of this topic. Just great <3

[lilyc.g.]

Holy shit this song is 8 1/2 years old?!?!?!!! Oh my god. I'd walk around school singing this song out loud and thinking of a guy I liked. That was 2010, and I was in 9th grade. I'm 23 now and I think I'm going to die of nostalgia poisoning if I contemplate this one second longer.

[memekingdoozy]

I think this is one of the most inspirational EDM songs. The way the music moves is crazy. Six years later i still come back to it.
