    "comment": "Would you please play Huarache Lights by Hot Chip?  Need to dance.--Jeffery, Art teacher, Kentucky\n--\n The name \"huarache\" (sandals) was adopted by Nike for a shoe. Hot Chip picked the name for a song as a way to capture the excitement of playing together. \n--\nCo-vocalist Alexis Taylor explained the song's meaning. \"It's about the joy of playing a show,\" he said. \"The image of Huarache trainers seemed to sum up how something meaningless can encapsulate the happiness of a moment.\"\n--\nSome of the drums come from Lyn Collins' much sampled 1972 James Brown-produced track \"Think (About It).\"",
