Notice anything familiar? I heard this song on the radio this morning and was momentarily very confused! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nD92-vOEUG8.

Nope you've lost me. Which bit should I recognise?
By the way, I liked the song.

I think the likes of Irving Berlin and Cole Porter will be turning in their graves at the description of 'Shining' by DJ Khaled, Jay Z and Beyoncé as a 'song'.

Well done blue for just beating me in detecting where that, "Things have gotta change", line originated.

Nope I still don't get it. Never mind I'm going to have a beer and listen to the full Jay Z back catalogue to see if he has covered One Less Bell To Answer

Good work, team! I figured it out pretty immediately, since I've gone through periods of listening to the Very Dionne album quite heavily. It's always exciting for me to hear this wonderful music in new contexts!
