Never stopped listening to the song. Love Sophie!
I love Sofie's music. She really got me through lockdown. Because of her personal experience she has been an advocate for the #me too movement but I think that she should be get behind the #me too even if Ur a Jew movement because of the lack of support from European feminist groups.
I've never stopped listening to her. Always great music
Amazing song. Live forever ❤
i hate how they named this interview, THIS IS NOT SOME "MURDER ON THE DANCE FLOOR SINGER" this is legendary SOPHIE ELLIS-BEXTOR
How is she legendary? Legendary people are known by everyone in the world. Only Europe knows about Sophie Ellis Bextor. A few hits doesn’t make you legendary. Album after album of hits does.
As a kid, I was obsessed with her glittery green eyeshadow she wears in the music video
I've never fallen out of love with this song or Sophie.
Because you are stupid!
Because you listen to ugly singers like Beyonce, Rihanna, Taylor Swift.
Sophie's Live Kitchen Disco's through lockdown were awesome
She has an amazing discography! Couldn’t happen to a more deserving woman ❤
Still gorgeous.
Oh please do not exagerate. "Murder on the dancefloor" is great. But that's basically her unique success so don't talk about her "amazing discography"...my gosh people nowadays
@@rodolphel8332 you really took the time to write that. You need to get a job!
Oh you mean I took the time to write 1 line 🤣 Yes I did. And your response clearly shows you have no argument at all to answer
@@rodolphel8332 It's from a great album! I'll Get Over You, Music Gets the Best of Me, Take Me Home - all great! She also sang on Groovejet by Spiller. Her new stuff sounded good when I saw her live too.
It’s similar to ‘Stranger Things’ using Kate Bush’s Running Up that Hill!
I love when fantastic music comes back around! ❤🎉
i was thinking abt that too! love it
She's been making lovely dance tracks for decades still going strong, even more lovely, and loved her family covid lockdown sets. The movie isn't that big of a deal or outrageous. Her song to me is far better than the movie and will outlive saltburn easily.
I'm delighted that Sophies song has reached the top of the charts with one of the best songs ever written. She is such a great talented singer songwriter. Well done Sophie.
lol
It's the early 00s... and life is good!!!
Sophie always beautiful I am still so obsessed with the official music video of Murder on the Dancefloor
Several of her videos are very memorable.
Its nuts that you find a song that perfectly encapsulates a film this much. Especially given the music video. BRAVO
She is like a fine wine gets better looking with age
She is absolutely delightful!
Just discovered this song after the movie... Cant get it out my head! Love it!
i hope you continue finding more awesome hits from before. there are a lot!
Listen to “Get Over You” ❤
you should check out all of her albums, her songs are really awesome, a lot of different genres
I confess, I never knew about Sophie Ellis-Bextor. In the midwest of USA, British pop hits don't make much of a splash. But I'm glad I get to discover her now.
So now i'm gonna have to listen to this lady's entire discography, 'cuz i'm so in love with her
She’s a great sport.
Murder on the dance floor was a favourite
The Song paired with Barry Keoghan‘s Dance Scene is worldclass , great Art .
So pleased for Sophie..check out her songs 'Youngblood' and 'Wild forver' amongst my favorites too.
Greg Alexander of The New Radicals of “You get what you give” fame, amongst many others (ie: “The game of love” by Santana) wrote that song. He should be given more credit. What a pure genius. 😊
Actually, he co-wrote it, so credit goes to Sophie as well; she's that talented. That said, I am a huge fan of his work and really changed pop music over the past 20+ years.
@@zimzimzalabimVery cool. I didn't know that. He definitely deserves more recognition.
I would love to see „You get what you give“ in a movie these days. It’s still one of my favorite songs. It’s so melancholic. ❤
@@xamalion7334 Actually YGWYG is very upbeat and tells you not to give up. Somewhere We'll Know (the follow-up single to YGWYG) is the one that is actually melancholic. I love it.
It has to reach number 1 finally!!
I love this song. I can't get enough of it and loved the video. I came across it about 6 years ago. Glad I did.
this song is classic!
This song brings me a lot of nice memories, great times, so glad is on air again ❤
The whole cd was and still is amazing!
I've never heard this song before. As soon as I watched the last scene of the movie, I immediately searched it and added it to my playlist.
Great short interview
As a listener of synth 80s songs, I thought this was released around that decade. Glad I found the same genre that was released around the 2000s.
Excited to see her and Take That tour Australia this November. ❤
Watched her perform at her first concert ever un México last year... WOW! What an artist. She is a british national treasure ❤
Listen to her music regularly. Have never stopped since I bought her first CD. A CD I couldn't easily find in LA all those years ago. Finally found it in a small West Hollywood music store. Six months later her music was everywhere.
I loved Sophie's music since 2001 ❤❤ I'm ao glad things are going fabulous for her ...
The song is climbing at Billboard Charts & TikTok top 50 chart
danisnotonfire introduced me to this song many many years ago so good! recently heard it in a Christchurch nightclub (it doesn't get airplay in the us)
I loved and love Sophie Ellis Baxter….fabulous
I love it! She still has the groove.
This song is a masterpiece
A great song and a great film, love love love Sophie ❤❤❤
What a beauty. Talented too.
Loved "Saltburn". Just watched Sophie's performance at BAFTA's and really enjoyed every minute of it. I replayed that performance over and over and over. She looks amazing! Dancers were amazing! Performance was so amazing!
this was always such a banger
I loveeeeee this Song so much !!!
I just got introduced to this song through a Singit Live cover. I have never seen Saltburn. What a great catchy groove song! A few years ago I thought Carly Rae Jepsen was the queen of catchy pop songs. This one is right there also. ❤
Ha! I remember doing the the elyptical at the gym in both London and Cape Town in like 2002 and that thing blasting day and night lol
Esta mujer esta detenida en el tiempo! Hermosa y talentosa!
I've met Sophie a couple of times, and I'm also from Saltburn. The town, not the film.
She is so adorable.
She is so beautiful and talented! 😍😍😍
Although I am a Spanish native speaker from Chile, I cant avoid using its rythm with some words in Italian.
I know , I know, I know, I know, I know...like.."tra Londra, Londra, Londra, Londra "(from London like Sophie)...I love her since Groovejet.
Congratulations and greetings from Chile 🇨🇱.
I hope someday come on a tour to South America...we are waiting for you.
She is so pretty and well spoken
I've always loved the song 😊
I never had heard of this song before the movie, and am so glad the movie brought it to light -- otherwise I'd never know it even existed!
I'm 65 yrs and still have the original CD 😂 But now Murder on the Dance floor is top 3 on my TH-cam playlist videos on the daily 😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤ Congratulations Sophie 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤😊😊😊 lot's of love from New Zealand ❤ 🇳🇿 👏

Love from Turkey 🇹🇷 I love Sophie since my childhood. "Murder on the dance floor" is a good hit but the other ones is great af, especially Music gets the best of me is my favorite one.
Emerald Fennel have so much taste in everything , the score of her movies are awesome . i am a Fan since Promising Young Woman.
I adore her
her songs are genius
Her music is on high rotation in my car!
I was 12 when that song was very popular!!
A most unassuming lady with a lovely voice. A fine example hopefully to some of the recent and current me me products.
What a legend
Can’t believe it’s been 20 yrs. since this dropped. Fck I’m getting old 😂
She’s a vampire Never get old
she is fit still
She still looks beautiful ❤
Good movie, good music
She's ageless, five kids later and still sounds amazing
Sophie ist wieder dabei!!😊
Congratulations Sophie
Sophie is a national treasure 👏🏻
The Murder on the Dance Floor singer has a name, and it’s Sophie Ellis Bextor. The title of the video is like she’s just a singer of bars. She’s a great pop singer from 2000s
She looks the same! Wow.
Not her tryna keep a straight face when she was talking about saltburn RIPPP
1:40 good point!
Well on the way to becoming a national treasure❤
When this song was released around 2001/02, pretty much every guy I knew had a crush on Sophie
Great Song... And Sophie Ellis-Bextor is a real Babe :)
Sophie also did a great job of entertaining everyone during the corona virus lock down...
Madness
The best thing about Saltburn is the fact this song blew up again because of it
come to Chile
Welcome to JAM ROCK Murder on the street aswel 🎶 🎵 💯
Omg at this point (ya, even tho the current #1 song is unusually massive) PLZ let this flawless, absolute pop/dance/disco GEM w/ no burn rate just get that ONE week at #1!!
❤❤❤
Top lady!😍 Top choon!! 😍
Her name is Sophie ellis bextor
Not "Murder on the Dancefloor singer" 😭
She's a big Pulp fan so she's alright in my book
Wow, Sophie is still hot all these years later.
That woman doesn't age! great body for someone who had 5 kids
she will be on floor if bbc doesn't get royalty free music
