monday wake up call

If you didn't catch the London 2012 Olympic Games opening ceremony, you missed a pretty great performance by the Arctic Monkeys. The band played 2 songs: "I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor" as well as a cover of The Beatles'"Come Together", watch them both below.

I was really irritated by Arctic Monkeys back when Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not came out: I did not think they were a good band and the hype around them really annoyed me at the time! However, I wanted to hear Arctic Monkeys’ song, "Temptation Greets You Like Your Naughty Friend" from the Brianstorm Single simply because it features guest vocals by Dizzee Rascal. Likewise, the track "Temptation", from Dizzee Rascal’s Maths + English, features the vocal of Alex Turner from Arctic Monkeys. The two songs are excellent! Not only have they changed my opinions on Arctic Monkeys, but I actually want to hear more from Favourite Worst Nightmare!
