The Night Club Lyrics

"The Night Club" protests the culture of post-disco music which in turn inspired the current wave of dance music celebrating material wealth and fame as well as the celebrity culture of celebrating people who are famous without a specific achievement to their name. The people involved in this culture and musical art form and trend can be seen to reject any sense of social responsibility or political thinking, for a life of endless partying and celebration for its own sake, which in a war-time context, can be seen to be selfish, and irresponsible. The song also protests the idea of ignoring politics in a time where great social injustice is taking place. Artists of the 1960s were very political, whereas mainstream pop of the 2000s focuses mainly on material excess or personal life issues such as dating or depression. The song also suggests that the youth are deceived by music industry executives and club owners who would rather they were not educated about anything beyond the surface value of something and instead choose to bombard them with what can be seen to be superficial marketing schemes. The song is a combination of disco music itself, latin music and brooding atmospheric acoustic guitar led rock. The song is performed in the style of a pop artist such as Britney Spears but juxtaposes this style with something darker in order to make its point lyrically and musically. Frederick Roussel usually combines music and words in order to express a point of view with both the instrumentation and the vocal style of delivery.
