Gym Class Heroes - Dont Tell Me Its Over (The Quilt [2008])

OK this band has one very interesting twist. They will blend older songs into new songs, but instead of sampling the song, they actually live record and pull the component of the song they want into their song. I got introduced to these guys a few years ago with their song Cupid's Chokehold which revolved around the old Supertramp song Breakfast in America. So anyhow I'm listening to their new album which is OK, when I hear the opening to Bruce Springsteen's Something in the Night. This alone was enough for me to pick this song as one of my top songs of the year. This is the only song on the album that was really a stand out for me, but it's a fun use of a great Springsteen hook.
