I prefer the original title. Even when you do something cheesy for fun, it has an appeal. What it needs is a quality bit of melodic whistling. Listen to Peter, Bjorn and John's "Young Folks" and you'll see what I mean.

| Yeah, some good whistling could bring it all together. Not enough whistling these days. Not enough people called Bjorn either. I'd like to hear some deeper drums too. |

I've listened to the bigger production 
I do like the chintzy keyboard and, particularly, the 2nd guitar overlay near the start and at 2:10 - why such sparse use?
Also, once I noticed my legs going, I realized the rhythm's similarity to early 1980s ska. You could redo this completely (keeping the 1st guitar, drums and bass) but adding realistic trombone, a bit of Hammond and blarty sax for that "2-tone" sound. Check out The Selector to see what I mean:

Maybe you should rename your song (again!) as Eskalator music. That's almost quite clever - did anyone see what I did there?  |
