"You got to live by the game
You got to live by the rule
You got to know your means and your moves" - Give It Up


GIVE IT UP the video is on youtube now!

"Give It Up" was actually an idea for a music video before it became a song, paraphrasing "Beat It", "Bad", the 1951 film of "West Side Story" and the 1996 film of "Romeo & Juliet". "You have a dance battle," explains Fredrik, "Where a Datarock gang meets the bad guys, and we have a dance off, and then everybody becomes the Datarock gang. And I'm like Mercutio, trying to tell Romeo to shape up, snap out of it, give it up." He continues, "Thing is, just singing a song about dancingÂ… it's too simple. Everyone's gonna dance anyway. So it's nice to do something insane in the lyrics, like paraphrasing, you know, Romeo & Juliet!".

You have a chance to ask Fredrik more about his idea for the video, the new album, or anything else next Tuesday April 14th at 6 pm EST (3pm PST 12amin Norway!) when he joins a LIVE video chat!
