It’s an unlikely candidate for a position usually held by a hip hop track, but I hereby nominate “Go Do” by Jónsi as the Bumping Jam of the Summer for 2010.

Jónsi - Go Do

Totally amazing. I’m pretty sure, years from now, this will be the song I remember 2010 by.

“Then I went for some Ziffs. They’re exactly like Zuffs,
But the Ziffs live on cliffs and the Zuffs live on bluffs.
And, seeing how bluffs are exactly like cliffs,
It’s mighty hard telling the Zuffs from the Ziffs.
But I know that the egg that I got from the bluffs,
If it wasn’t a Ziff’s from the cliffs, was a Zuff’s.”

As I mentioned a few days ago, these guys’ thing might be anachronistic, but they are also awesome at it. This is a great example. They’ve got ideas!
