When I started going to parties back in 2010, we used to ruin a lot of people’s birthdays by playing “Abracadabra” by Steve Miller Band. We had a synchronised “dance” and we’d sing it as loud as we could and that would generally be the point in the night when the music would have to be turned down or turned off. It’s a daft song really. The synths are real blocky and the riff is kinda lame. At the same time there is something fantastic about it. It’s an earworm and a stomper. More than anything it always reminds me of that great pocket of time when I was drinking but still acting like a child.
