    Can I also mention how cool the clap-on clap-off joke was? So many layers to that! You've got a perfect spot for two claps, just perfect syncopation adding passion and a highlight to that spot in the song, so... of course it would occur to Darren: why not do a clap-on clap-off reference, since it will be cool to go dark right after we just sang that we're about to dance in the dark? Ugh it was so perfect. Darren's brain I swear. Amazing.

    At first, Im like, ahh they're gonna do it gospel like, but then it got funky building into the drop, and then the lights go out and BAMN have some dance techno funk.
    Great as always. Refreshing to here the classics from the Boss covered in new classic ways. I hope you guys keep changing up the old pitches with the new talent- it goes to demonstrate both the contextual nature and timeless essence of musix as a communication between people and culture.
