Joe Goddard and Al Doyle answer your questions about their favourite remixes, working with Jarvis Cocker and what really is the best sauce for hot chips
So how did you write Over and Over, the greatest song of all time? laurasnapes
Joe Goddard Me and Felix [Martin, drum machines] lived in an old converted church in Camden. I was trying to copy the bassline from Dance by ESG. Everyone added parts and Alexis [Taylor, lead vocals, guitar, keyboards] wrote the lyrics – “the joy of repetition really is in you” etc – referring to how Felix and I kept playing this bass groove over and over. I remember looking around the church with the estate agent going: “This’ll be perfect for your band practices. Sign here!” Then as soon as we started playing, the lady upstairs phoned, saying: “I’ve just had a baby. What are you doing?!”
