Well it's different anyway. 'Float On' is basically each of the four Floaters stepping up to the mic to give their star sign and a précis of what they want from a woman, kind of like an early pilot of Blind Date. My favourite is Charles who is a Libra and is looking for "A woman that's quiet, who carries herself like Miss Universe". Good luck with that one Charles. Sight unseen, you could be forgiven for mistaking this as a sly parody of 'loverman' soul singers like Barry White, but watch any footage of them performing it and you'll see that humour wasn't foremost in their minds. Fair enough, there's some sweet falsetto vocal going on around the (admittedly) catchy and dreamlike 'Float, float on' chorus, but it's not enough to hide the fact that there's more ham here than a sty full of pigs, and a similar smell hangs over both.
