Barry Keoghan‘s new film bought a tune that got here out over 20 years in the past again on the charts — and it is all because of a neat little dance he did on the finish the place he is butt-ass bare.
After all, we’re speaking about “Saltburn” and the tip scene the place the principle character efficiently snuffs out an uber-rich household within the UK to inherit their wealth and property. To rejoice he does an intricate quantity via the home in his birthday swimsuit … with Sophie Ellis-Bextor‘s 2001 tune “Murder on the Dancefloor” blaring within the background.
Within the context of the movie, the monitor is sensible … and it’s extremely becoming for what is going on on. Nevertheless it appears people are rediscovering this oldie-but-goodie anew … ‘trigger it is again at #8 on the Official UK Singles Chart — to not point out surging on Billboard’s Dance/Digital Digital Music Gross sales Chart, the place it sits third behind songs from Cher and Dua Lipa.
Elsewhere, Ellis-Bextor’s memorable is charting on completely different trending lists, on Spotify, and so forth.
“Saltburn” is clearly caught in folks’s minds — as a result of audiences left the theater and went trying to find ‘Homicide,’ driving the tune throughout all these completely different platforms/streamers.
SEB’s grateful for the eye — and extra cash lining her pocket, we’re certain — telling the BBC … “It’s extraordinary. It’s a song I’ve been singing for over 20 years, I still love singing it. I love the way people react when I do it live.”
She provides, “For new people to be discovering it, for it to be making new memories with people is kind of beautiful,” noting she hasn’t actually processed all of the newfound consideration.
Thoughts you, the all-nude dance all through the fort is maybe one of many least surprising moments of the movie … there’s quite a lot of others, together with a sex-with-a-grave scene, a semen-slurping bathtub spotlight, and so forth. Yeah, it is that sort of film — completely freaking on the market.
With all that mentioned, dropping useless on the dancefloor and dropping trou on-screen is clearly a profitable mixture. Congrats to Sophie … and to Barry Keoghan fans too, we suppose.
