Cheap Thrills is an infectious and fun electro pop tune song recorded by Sia, who is an Australian recording artist. Composed by Sia and Greg Kurstin. There is a remix of the tune, featuring vocals by Sean Paul, a Jamaican performer. The tune is great fun, reggae infused and hit Number 1 on the Top 40 Radio charts. There is also a surprise appearance from Sean Paul!
The video is fabulous- It's a spoof on the Fifties American Band Stand.
Filmed in vintage black and white Framed inside an old-fashioned TV screen, the actors are also dressed in fifties teenage attire, complete with retro hairdos – the host holds up a vinyl of Sia's hit- there is a montage of two masked dancers in Sia wigs taking over a 1950s dance contest. The surprised look on both the teenagers and host as the “Sia” dancers groove, break dance, and have everyone join in on a line dance at the end.
Fabulous fun!
