Avram Grant was not exactly dancing a jig of delight, but the West Ham United manager was singing a positive tune after guiding his side to a morale-boosting 3-1 Barclays Premier League victory at Blackpool.
With the music blaring loudly from the away dressing room behind him, Grant told West Ham TV how he had been hugely impressed with the spirit and application shown by his players at Bloomfield Road.
The manager was delighted not just with new boys Robbie Keane and Gary O'Neil, but also with the form and poise shown by the remainder of his squad on a potentially difficult night in Lancashire.
"It's not my iPod! If it was my iPod, you would be hearing Israeli music," joked a smiling Grant.
"I enjoyed it very much. We played very well in the first half and the reaction even after the score went to 2-1 was great, the supporters were great so it was a good night for us."
The manager said the players had discussed their recent habit of losing first-half leads and made sure they did not relinquish their advantage this time around.
"In the second half we were calmer and spoke about what happens in the last games when we were a little bit nervous when the other team put pressure on us. I think we learned from those games and we handled the situation well."
Grant was delighted with the form of his new front pairing of Keane and Frederic Piquionne, as well as the contribution of right winger O'Neil.
However, the boss said Wednesday's victory had been a complete team effort based on hard work, commitment and concentration.
"They are intelligent players and it is easier to play the football that we like with these sorts of players. They play the football that we like, because they like to pass the ball and play intelligently, so it was easy for them to come in and help us to get the victory.
"They had a good partnership. You have to remember that behind them that Scotty and Mark did a good job too. When everybody is doing well and playing our football, we have a good team."
Grant also had words of praise for his young central defensive partnership of James Tomkins and Winston Reid, who were thrown together after Danny Gabbidon was forced off with an injury after half-an-hour.
"They are very good. They played together in the Carling Cup and they did well. There is no doubt that they will be two of the best defenders in England in the future."
Another young player to shine was Victor Obinna, who took his tally to five goals in two matches with two more memorable strikes - the second of which scorched into the net from all of 30 yards to put West Ham 3-1 up just 90 seconds after Charlie Adam had reduced the arrears direct from a corner.
Grant said the Nigerian, 23, had learned from the error he made in getting himself sent-off in the Carling Cup semi-final first leg against Birmingham City last month.
"I think he didn't play before because he didn't do the right things that we wanted him to do. He has a lot of quality but after the red card, he was not happy about this and we spoke about how to maximise his quality. In the last two games, he has worked for the team and got the reward and he was also involved in the second goal."
While his players were deserving of Grant's praise, the travelling supporters were again in excellent voice, urging their team on from first to last.
At the final whistle, the manager walked across the pitch before throwing his scarf into the crowd and waving jubilantly to the Hammers fans, who sang his name in response.
"I think they deserve it. I was a supporter and I know how they feel. When we take so many supporters such a long way, they deserve more than a scarf.
"I can tell you that they are really great. I was at a team last year where the supporters were great and I came here and they are the same - they came a long way to see us and I am very happy because they are happy."
