Click to listen to Mocean Worker's 'Swagger'

Mocean Worker, the electro-funk project by Adam Dorn, released his sixth studio album, Candygram for Mowo!, earlier this week. Over the past decade, Mocean Worker's tracks, which combine big band style horns and Sixties and Seventies soul grooves, have appeared on countless television shows, movies, and commercials. Songwriter, producer, bassist and remixer Dorn tells Rolling Stone that when creating his aptly named and danceable new track "Swagger," he "wanted to write a song that could serve as a sort of personal theme to lift someone up and put a smile on their face. Give them that vibe to go out and confidently take care of some bidnuss. That's what 'Swagger' is about." Mocean Worker's album Candygram for Mowo! is out now, but you can download "Swagger" for free here.

“Time to Pretend”

MGMT | 2008

Listening to MGMT’s breakthrough song, one might interpret it as being about the excesses of rock stardom, but it’s actually about the duo’s pet praying mantis. Ben Goldwasser and Andrew VanWyngarden told Rolling Stone they got the idea from the insect's jerky movements. The mantis died, but the two bandmates kept the egg sack and allowed the hundreds of eggs to hatch. “We tried to name them all, but they died after a day,” said Goldwasser, with VanWyngarden chiming in, “But the praying mantis dance inspired us.”
