Amazingly, this was the first number 1 in the UK for Coldplay! Viva la vida is a great backing track – we’ve given it a make-over and this version has a real uptempo dance feel to it.

If you think you’ve heard this song before, then it’s most probably because the main hook line going through the song is almost exactly like the beginning of the old Temptations hit “My Girl”. Of course Warwick Avenue is a completely different song and follows in the 2007 – 2008 tradition of releasing sixties style [...]
