Brighton, UK synth pop/electronic duo BOO (Battery Operated Orchestra) have revealed the video for their new single “Nightclub Mishap“.
The song has the synthpop duo, Chris + Brigitte return with a spiky disco banger. Their animated music video makes the lurid sweatbox of a nightclub toilet seem like more fun than the dancefloor.
Clanging, twanging, stomping and insistent, Nightclub Mishap envisions the horrorshow of night-life as well as the freedom and release found therein. Brigitte’s vocals move from smooth and sultry to sharply shocked, shouting over iridescent synths and also outrageously roaring electric trumpets. This is a wonderfully silly slice of disco-synth absurdity.
The digital download comes with a remix from industrial electronica veteran Andy Kubiszewski (Stabbing Westward, Prick, the The, Exotic Birds, Discothèque).

BOO “Nightclub Mishap” Lyrics
I’m going to the dance
And I’m going to take a chance
Because I like to have a
A big fun
You can listen for my shoes
but I won’t give any clues
I’m a sneaky tiger on the run
While you watch the horizon
Feel the noise inside ya
Levitation ride into the sun
I’ve been a digging in the dark
While you whistle in the park
Should have known it was you
holding the-
Nightclub mishap
Fallen in a glitter trap
UV cocktail faces beaming
Silent fire exits screaming
Thicky vapour smells so sweet
No one seems to mind the heat
We’re sweating and shaking as one
Johnny gets an eyeful
And Patricia has a rifle
She’s never gonna make it as a nun
The fog is thickening and the smell turns sickening
There is something floating in my rum
We’re stomping and a thrashing
And we all look very dashing
Should have seen
there was a-fall-to-come
Nightclub mishap
Fallen in a glitter trap
UV cocktail faces beaming
Silent fire exits screaming
Boulder men roll in like walls
Saw you kissing in the stalls
Lost under fluorescent lights
Out my way to-night’s the night!
I’m going to the dance
And I’m going to take a chance
Because I like to have a
A big fun
While you watch the horizon
Feel the noise inside ya
Levitation ride into the sun
I’ve been a digging in the dark
While you whistle in the park
Should have known it was you
holding the-
Nightclub mishap
Fallen in a glitter trap
UV cocktail faces beaming
Silent fire exits screaming
Boulder men roll in like walls
Saw you kissing in the stalls
Lost under fluorescent lights
Out my way to-night’s the night!
Nightclub mishap
Fallen in a glitter trap
