Really inspired, a kicking wisteria ode to the crackle of 72 versions. Long island love, big man goes off in this one, walls of devils too

For a song whose number 1 has 23 votes, it might not be major, but this around and around is absolutely sensational!!! kicks off a monster hour-long sequence in Miami, and everyone is going nuts and having a blast on this!!
