Quite the opposite from the previous entry about the Black Eyed Peas.

If listening to the new Black Eyed Peas single drew up an urge to drink copious amounts of rat poison, then the Pet Shop Boys will surely set things right.

This is "Did You See Me Coming", from their latest album Yes. Yes was released in the UK on Monday but will be seeing an American release on Astralwerks in April.

"Love etc." was a brilliant way to introduce us to the album, and "Did You See Me Coming" is just further confirmation of how this will go down as one of 2009's best pop albums. It's a rather joyous hi-NRG dance tune, featuring the Shop's trademark euphoric choruses and a made-for-the-floor sound courtesy of Xenomania.

It has been on repeat over at Mp3s and Cookies nearly all day, and we have a feeling this is going to join "Love etc." and "The Girl And The Robot" somewhere within the year's top ten songs.

Look, it's only March. We seriously need to stop getting ahead of ourselves. Who wants to bet that by the time July rolls around "Love etc." will probably plunk in at number 20 on our list and "Did You See Me Coming" could very well rank in at number 120 (if we can make a list that long...), but anyway you get the general idea.
