Chong On

Let’s Go Dancing!
Chong Lim & His Orchestra
Universal, 2009
2 stars

If you were left wanting more after the end of Dancing with the Stars, here’s your chance to Chong on! Twenty-nine of Chong’s finest moments from the series have been re-recorded and packaged into a disc that is sure to get your mum and dad’s feet a-tappin’. The hits just keep on coming, including a quickstep version of Oasis’ Wonderwall, a rhumba take on Light My Fire and everyone’s favourite samba – Tequila! But wait - that’s not all! Call in the next fifteen minutes and get this convenient plastic jewel case and eight-page booklet, absolutely free! Don’t delay, call now! Call now! ... But seriously folks - albums like this are incredibly easy to hang shit on, but there’s obviously an audience for this kind of stuff. If you ever found yourself dancing in your lounge room on a Tuesday night then this album will most definitely appeal.
