Next week sees Neil Prince team up with Anna Greenwood to take us on a distinctly unapologetic journey through pop with the launch of their new night The Hitman & Her. To find out exactly what musical highs and lows they'll be mining, we caught up with them for a YouTube-based chat about what tracks they'll be rolling out for every dancefloor occasion...
What's your fave track to get up and go to...
Pointer Sisters - Jump (For My Love)
Anna: It's default for most things to be honest.
Neil: You can never go wrong with some uplifting Pointer pop.
What do you play to get some dancefloor snogging going on...
Divinyls - I Touch Myself
Neil: And who doesn't?
Anna: I don't. I am a nun. Pop nun.
What track always gets people doing the choreographed dance that goes with it...
Tina Turner - Proud Mary
Neil: Guaranteed to get some interesting interpretations of Tina's turns.
Anna: Thighs. It's about colossal thighs and SWOOSHING of mane. Like a sex horse.
What's your best slowdance classic...
R Kelly - Bump N Grind
Anna: Aaahh yeaahh. R'n'b dancefloor dry hump o'clock.
Neil: My miiiind's telling me no!
What's your ultimate '80s singalong...
Whitney Houston - I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)
Neil: No contest.
Anna: Look at how young and enthused she is! So spritely. Curse you Bobby Brown.
Sheryl Lee Ralph - In The Evening
Neil: I WANT to be Sheryl Lee Ralph in this video! Does everything an '80s New York video should.
Anna: I don't want to be in this video. Can I be in Girls Aloud instead please?
What's the most unashamed pop track you'll play out...
Carly Rae Jepsen - Call Me Maybe
Anna: Took a while for me but it is relentless in its majesty.
Neil: It's just perfectly produced. I could do much worse than this but everybody knows that.
Best boy/girl duet...
Boy Meets Girl - Waiting For A Star To Fall
Anna: Obvs.
Neil: Magical.
Pick one track that IS "the hitman"...
Michael Jackson - The Way You Make Me Feel
Anna: Quincy produced Jacko, ergo, he is the hitman.
Neil: Best musical meeting of minds of a generation.
And pick one track that IS "her"...
Beyonce- Crazy In Love
Neil: Our modern day undisputed queen.
Anna: I like it when girls try to do the dance in a sexy way at boys. None of us are Beyonce, but booze gives us the powers to think we are.
Join Neil Prince and Anna Greenwood for The Hitman & Her on Thursday 14th March from 9pm - 2:30am.
