The track hit #1 based entirely on downloads, and in an encouraging development, you can already buy it on iTunes here in the, er, States, where it's currently lodged at #28 in the "Dance" section. While the song's funky, not-too-fast beat is surely as accessible as they come, I'd give "Dance Wiv Me"'s odds of becoming a hit in the US at about 100 to 1; even today, mainstream radio is deeply dance-phobic, and while Dizzee is trying harder than ever to make himself clear, 99% of Americans won't understand a word he's saying, instead hearing only three minutes of "bloppy blop blaw, inna bloppy blop blaw." But while "American Boy" has the novelty factor of reminding Americans that there are other countries in the world who could potentially fetishize us (who knew?), it's so sickly sweet that I can barely stand it: "Let's ride the subway, take me to your hood/I've never been to Brooklyn and I'd like to see what's good." Eww! Plus, the video's shots of supposedly-scrumptious examples of American boyhood gazing seductively at the camera actually just seem kind of creepy. "Dance Wiv Me"'s Britishness is incomparably more authentic, and while that might make it a little tough to comprehend, it's worth the effort.
