I honestly don’t think I knew that the Pet Shop Boys were still together and making music, but they clearly are as the video for “Winner” suggests. About the song: this is clearly a shameless ploy to make money off of London Olympic montages, what with lyrics like this…
This is the moment
We’ll remember
Every day for the rest of our lifesTime may rush us
Hurt or love us
But on this day we have arrivedIt’s been a long time coming
We’ve been in the running for so long
But now we’re on our wayLet the ride just take us
Side by side and make us
See the world through new eyes every dayYour’re a winner
I’m a winner
This is all happening so fast
You’re a winner
I’m a winner
Hey, whatever — Pet Shop Boys gotta eat, right? Meanwhile, who doesn’t love roller derby girls?!?!
