A lot of people in the US know you from the So You Think You Can Dance TV show, "Rama Lama (Bang Bang)" song. I was wondering how did that song come about, what was the idea behind it?
Roisin Murphy: When I'm on tour, we always say if the place is full, that it's ramalama, it's rammed, you know, rammed to the brim. So that's how we got the ramalama. And then I just heard this dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dah-dong, dong, and it made me think about that phrase. We just wrote a whole song about words and sounds and rhythm, and inside your body, what the rhythm is.
