Just Dance Ends Modern Warfare’s UK Reign of Chart Terror

Modern Warfare 2 has finally been dislodged from its comfortably nestled position at the head of UK games charts by the cursory demand of Ubisoft’s Just Dance. Somehow, in post-Christmas retail malaise, the dancing “instructor” clambered from relative obscurity to the top of the pile, past Infinity Ward’s money spinner and new releases Bayonetta and Darksiders. Wii Fit Plus followed closely in second place, working hard to resume Wii chart dominance temporarily lost over the holiday period.

While the entirety of gaming’s media can breathe a sigh of relief that something has finally culled Call of Duty’s lording reign and thus overbearing media saturation, it is the something gamers themselves should worry about. Assuming through trailer that Just Dance is little more than a distant, skill-less cousin of the rhythm genre, it’s perhaps worrying that a third party, undeniably casual entry can boogie its way to number one past a title compared in potential blockbuster earnings to cinema’s Avatar.

Exemplified perfectly in the juxtaposition of both GTA IV and the original Wii Fit launching in the same week, the landscape of gaming has indeed changed forever.

I’ve had a little bit too much
All of the people start to rush (Start to rush by)
A dizzy twister dance, can’t find my drink or man
Where are my keys? I lost my phone

What’s goin’ on, on the floor?
I love this record baby but I can’t see straight anymore
Keep it cool, what’s the name of this club?
I can’t remember, but it’s alright, a-alright

Control your poison babe, roses have thorns they say,
And we’re all getting hosed tonight!

Can’t believe my eyes so many women without a flaw
And I ain’t gonna give it up, steady trying to pick it up like a call
I’m a hit it up, beat it up, latch on to it until tomorrow yeah

Halfleft Says:

Shorty I can see that you got so much energy
The way you twirlin’ up them hips round and round
And there is no reason at all why you can’t leave here with me
In the mean time let me watch you break it down and

I wanna hold em’ like they do in Texas plays
Fold em’ let em’ hit me raise it baby stay with me
Love game and intuition play the cards with spades to start
And after he’s been hooked I’ll play the one that’s on his heart

Oh wait. That ain’t right…

If it helps this righteous cause, I’ve got my guitar in my lap playing Summerboy as I browse NG.
