'Wicked Game' a dance cover by Mansionar.

 

 
A single released December 4, 2025.

This was, is and always will be a beautiful song, so it's hard to F it up, and these guys with their just released dance version certianly do not.

Not the type of song, as played, I would normally feature, only it's sort of dance season time.

Hard to belive that the orginal song by Chris Isaak has over a billion plays on Spotify since it's release in June 1989, and that it really did not become a hit until it was featured in the David Lynch film “Wild at Heart” in 1990.

It has been covered many, many times by a whole bunch of artists, with one of my favourites, in the more traditional sort of cover, being this version by Lusaint, released in June, 2021.

The only issue I have with this Mansionar dance version is that it's too short and cuts out just as the song really breaks out.

But hey, a half decent DJ can sort that out easy, and make the floor go wild.

My Spotify Wrapped 2025

 


Everyone is doing it, so here's mine.

Some, but not all, are on this blog, which I suppose is a good thing?

The curiosity is that I use another search/web site to track my Spotify listening habits, and that gives a different "Number One".

The site: Stats for Spotify 

Spotify Wrapped: Beau Monde by the Dead Bolts (featured here).
Stats for Spotify: Change by the War on Drugs, from their October 2021 album 'I Don't Live Here Anymore'.

Slightly weird but hey, AI!
