My Top 1000 Songs #959: Rill Rill

[I've been writing up my Top 1000 songs on a daily basis--you can see them all in descending order by hitting the All My Favorite Songs tag.]

File this one under "songs I wouldn't normally listen to by bands I don't necessarily love, but I inadvertently hear at the gym or on the radio or tv and somehow end up really liking." (See also this or this or this.)

Anyway, the single off Sleigh Bells' 2010 debut Treats is probably more of a groove than a proper song, based around an inspired sample from Funkadelic's "Can You Get To That" (off 1971's Maggot Brain)--though it's closer to a cover with new lyrics than a mere sample. Amped up with booming reverb and Alexis Krauss's slinky vocals, it's one of those post-millennium popular songs that really make you wish mixtapes were still a thing. 

Live (-ish?), 2022:
