Acoustic in Kansas City 03/19/20

REMEMBER REMEMBER THE 20TH OF MARCHEMBER !!!!!

@BonnieMcKeee Literally losing our minds tonight. @adamlambert is popping the "coo" as we speak.
6 May [2011]

Adam says: [Maxwell interview] it’s electrofunk, it's about owning your own crazy, in the most positive, celebratory way, it’s kind of saying look I feel nuts, I’m out of my damn mind and I’m having a great time being that way... you’re so out of your mind it’s almost like you’re in an institution but that madhouse, that asylum, is the best disco in the world.

@heatworld What songs from Trespassing describe your dark side?? Is "Cuckoo" one of them?
@katush_a CUCKOO is def on the light side of the album.... its about the freedom in loosing your mind...

BYRON: Bonnie’s previous credits include several Katy Perry hits. Cookoo is another one for the hit list! Won’t give too much away on this one! Wait till ya hear it! Definitely a party jam. (NOTE: I love how Byron was reluctant to give anything away and in the meantime LOOK AT ALL THE FLAILING BELOW )

DEAN PIPER: This song is friggin’ HUGE. It’s dance pop through and through and people will be gagging to remix it. A floor filler, massive radio hit for Europe and even has a Britney style breakdown for the dance moves to be flexed. It was instantly a winner and a definite single.

EQ: My goodness. It only took about 20 seconds for this song to be one of my favorite songs of 2012. "Cookoo" opens up with a hard dance beat and progresses with swirly, sweeping synths that lure you in and make you want to dance. The chorus is huge. Massive sound and the track showcases Adam's extremely powerful vocals that have repeatedly set him above all the rest. Then we get to the bridge of the song, which is pure hard electro greatness. "Cookoo" is an extremely infectious song that demands attention right from the get go and is definitely one that you will all have on repeat for days.

@JordanMeehan (EQ) Cuckoo will slay lives.

SUGARSCAPE: Instantly catchy, camp as hell, pure pop joy.

DIGITAL SPY: One song that a lot of people seem to be getting excited about is 'Cuckoo'. It's easy to see why; it's a towering electro-pop tune that despite being packed with all manner of production wizardry, remains an effortless number with a chorus whose hooks quickly dig in deep.

POP JUSTICE: 'Cuckoo' is the big song on this album. First time we heard it we thought it sounded like a streamlined version of Justice or Daft Punk. It's certainly a chart-friendly dance track that comes from a different, more sophisticated place to most of that other UTTER crap that seems to be passing for pop music at the moment. 'Cuckoo' is a song is about going mad, or maybe it's about going sane and everyone else being mad. Adam told us that he was thinking about the video already. We don't want to blow the surprise but it's based on a film. Actually the song is called 'Cuckoo' isn't it and it's about going mad so draw your own conclusions.

'Cuckoo' has a big chorus that goes, I wanna LOSE MY MIND like a maniac, and CROSS THE LINE never looking back we're ON THE LOOSE getting crazy and we've gone cuckoo, gonna party til they take us away. It looks a bit like one of those crap LMFAO party jams written down like that but the song as a whole feels a bit more like an outsidery burst of defiance than an insidery eruption of LOL. It is a really confident song and could make sense of Adam for UK fans-to-be in a way that his first album didn't quite manage to. It features one of those abstract borderline dubstep breakdown bits that everyone's doing at the moment.

This is a properly brilliant single. It feels a bit unfair to say "it doesn't even sound like Adam" but we suppose if people are either not fussed by what they've heard so far of Adam's work, or simply didn't like it very much, that's probably a good thing. The lyrics are fairly Adamish though, or what we think Adamish means. WHO IS THE REAL ADAM LAMBERT? (That was a rhetorical question, please don't email or phone the office.)

UK OMG: The one you'll want to party to: Cuckoo; This electro-pop track has a catchy chorus, strong rhythm and makes you want to get up and dance. We had to hold ourselves back from busting into some serious moves at the desk. Perfect for a Friday night.

UK OK: Very electro dance-pop with Adam singing about losing his mind and crossing the line. It's a total party tune.

Lindsey Parker: .. bangin' floor-filler.. Hi-NRG disco workout... This is basically "If I Had You 2: Electric Boogaloo." It's the sound of Kylie Minogue, La Roux, and the Scissor Sisters chugging a case of Red Bull and then getting in a time machine set for 1977 and going to Studio 54, then getting back in that time machine, switching the dial to 1992, and heading to a rave. ...this hot track just makes me wanna dance, dance, dance. This is the jammmmm, people...intelligent, sophisticated, unnervingly catchy electropop--as in, if it doesn't have some effect on you, then you must be dead from the neck up and/or waist down.... just cuckoo-crazy-good, and it really ought to be Adam's next single.

I think there's something wrong with me. I don't love Cuckoo. Everybody else does.

[jlynn1205]

I freakin love this song. Like it is already stuck in my head. Should be a major contender for next single.

[Kimberly_Caldwell_4_Life]

I don't love it. I like it, but not in love with it. That honor goes to Trespassing.

[sandyrk]

Cuckoo's stuck in my head, much as I like Chokehold and Tresspassing. Yep...it's Cuckoo!!!

[wayiwannabe2010]
