In the same vein as the 80′s classic by Michael Sembello, Moullinex has come together with modern sex music symbol Peaches to create a modern version of ‘Maniac’.
I don’t really know where to start when it comes to talking about this song. Hmmmm. I would say strap on your revealing onesie, get to a gym and show off how insane you can go infront of a webcam. This is the quintessential flash dance remake with a modern Nu Disco twist!
