London Student vs. Felix: Day Three – A song that makes you happy

The reaction when I play someone this Star Slinger song is always the same: "Holy shit that's awesome!" they say in not so many words. The song (and its video) makes me happy for two reasons:

  1. It's full of summery cheer and makes you want to jump out of bed and run around in a field (accompanied by lots of lens glare and weird psychedelic patterns).
  2. It's a gateway drug to a whole lot of other Star Slinger tunes – like this Gold Panda remix

The London Student and Felix are currently fighting an epic war. Like, tweet, or comment on this page to help us win today's battle. Tomorrow is 'A song that makes you sad' – help us choose by posting your suggestions below.

Look out for Felix's interview with Star Slinger in next week's issue.
