Atc Planet Pop Lyrics

Most observers cite savvy record producers as the driving forces behind Euro-dance-cheese-fluff albums like ATC's Planet Pop. The CD's back cover gets to the truth of the matter, however, forgoing a list of the names behind the curtain (or in front of it) in favor of credits for artwork, photography, and shoes. The latter might seem like a good sign, but, despite being touted as an "international sensation," Planet Pop will hardly keep anyone on the floor all night. Mastermind Alex Christensen front-loads the CD with answer songs to Eiffel 65's "Blue (Da Ba Dee)"--"Around the World (La La La La La)," followed by "My Heart Beats Like a Drum (Dum Dum Dum]"--before allowing his young charges to sink into a morass of drab ballads, listless sub-Stacey Q electro-disco retreads, and the obligatory Latin number. Fabulous footwear, though. --Rickey Wright
