Day 7: A song love even though you don't know the words

Day 8: A song that you can dance to
kanye west ft. lupe fiasco - touch the sky
i can't actually dance, but if i could, i imagine it would probably be to this song.
this is kanye at his best, in my opinion: supremely confident but not smug, with that contagious exuberance balanced by a surprising self-awareness (i'm trying to right my wrongs / but it's funny, these same wrongs helped me write this song).
what really sold me on the song was lupe fiasco, though. he gets all the best lines (bottle-shaped body like mrs. butterworth's). i love he gets not one, but two nerdy references in with lupin the third and mum-ra. and every time i hear that last line (now let me end my verse right where the horns are, like), i have to chuckle.
