Barry Keoghan’s new movie, “Saltburn,” has caused quite a stir in the entertainment industry. Not only has the film received critical acclaim for its shocking and provocative scenes, but it has also brought a 20-year-old song back on the charts. The song in question is “Murder on the Dancefloor” by Sophie Ellis-Bextor.
In the movie, Keoghan’s character celebrates his success by dancing through a house in his birthday suit to the tune of Ellis-Bextor’s hit song. The combination of the memorable scene and the catchy track has resonated with audiences, leading to a resurgence of interest in the song.
“Saltburn” has catapulted “Murder on the Dancefloor” to the number 8 spot on the Official UK Singles Chart. Additionally, the song is climbing the ranks on Billboard’s Dance/Electronic Digital Song Sales Chart, currently sitting at number 3 behind tracks from Cher and Dua Lipa.
The attention is not limited to the charts, as the song is also trending on various streaming platforms, including Spotify. It seems that audiences have been captivated by the film and its soundtrack, driving the song’s popularity across different mediums.
Sophie Ellis-Bextor, the artist behind the hit track, expressed her gratitude for the newfound attention. She mentioned that she still loves performing the song after all these years and enjoys seeing people’s reactions when she sings it live. The resurgence of “Murder on the Dancefloor” and the impact it is having on new audiences is truly beautiful to her.
While the success of the song is definitely a positive outcome for Ellis-Bextor, it is worth noting that “Saltburn” is not for the faint of heart. The film contains several shocking and explicit scenes, including a sex-with-a-grave moment and a semen-slurping bathtub highlight. It is an avant-garde movie that pushes boundaries and leaves a lasting impression on viewers.
The combination of the all-nude dance scene and the provocative nature of the film has clearly struck a chord with audiences. The success of “Murder on the Dancefloor” is a testament to the power of a memorable scene and a catchy song. Congratulations to Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Barry Keoghan fans for their roles in this unique cultural phenomenon.
