"Four to the Floor" is a hit single by the British band Starsailor. The song was released as the third and final single from the band's second album Silence Is Easy and became a major hit, peaking a #1 in France, #1 in Wallonia, #5 in Australia, and #24 in the UK.[1][2] Furthermore, "Four to the Floor (Thin White Duke Remix)" was ranked #70 on Triple J's Hottest 100 of 2004 in Australia. As of July 2014, it was the 84th best-selling single of the 21st century in France, with 333,000 units sold.[3]

Music video

There are two different videos for "Four to the Floor." In the first one, the band played in a scenario accompanied by the members of a symphonic orchestra appearing and disappearing according to the development of the song and the instruments.

The second one, which uses the Thin White Duke remix of the song, features a genderless little person of unknown age in a hooded winter jacket spray-painting graffiti on public walls in or near the city of London. The band members of Starsailor are depicted as animated graffiti whilst playing the title song throughout. At the end of the video the faceless, anonymous elfin creature is caught while standing on a bridge and shaken down by the police. One of the scenes in the video can be seen as the art cover for the Hard-Fi single Hard to Beat.

In Australia, this video was also set to the album version/radio edit of the song.

The video also shows the images of famous Argentine revolutionary Che Guevara and Ben Byrne wears a T-shirt with the word "socialism" though there is not a clear connection between those images and the concept of the video.
