text: # Joy!
  
  "Joy!" is a song by the English rock band Gay Dad from their first album, Leisure Noise, released as a single on 24 May 1999. It was featured in FIFA 2000 and in 2002 on a Mitsubishi television commercial. Additional vocals on the track are by Carol Kenyon.
  
  ## A-Side
  
  While most Gay Dad tracks were a collaborative effort, "Joy!" originates from a recording created by Cliff Jones ten years earlier as a student at Durham University. The finished track combines Krautrock metronomic beats, a fluid bass line and scruffy guitar riffs with a plethora of synth effects ultimately ending with a gospel recital of the lyric "Goodbye my darling I'm ready to die". In a Sound on Sound interview, lead singer Cliff Jones described the song as sounding "like a record that was made 10 minutes in the future".
