is nothing sacred?
i was very disappointed this morning to see someone doing to pink floyd's "comfortably numb" what jive bunny did to the beatles
does anyone else think that some songs should just be left alone & not given a "y2k in da house techno remix feat. some nobody MC "
....or is it just me, am i becoming a mould old fart?
(praps i should've posted a poll...then again praps i should refrain from post-pub posts. see u all in the morning)
if it ain't broke...fix it till it is
They are also butchering Jefferson Airplane classics. Shootings too good. Either that or I too am an old fart.
I don't think anyone should be allowed to mess with Pink Floyd!

Perhaps slightly deviating from the topic, but not by an awful lot. One word defines what is wrong with the world these days:
Ultrabeat.

You mean that Scissor Sisters thing? Aaaaaaaah! Sacrilege.
But also, kind of funny, Jive Bunny stylee mix of Floyd, FGTH & The Bee Gees. Odd.
Don't you want somebody to love - The Boogies Pimps, I think. Nice vid though
Jefferson Airplane cock-up is Don't You Want Somebody To Love by The Boogie Pimps, I think. Nice video though
oh bugger, double bubble postcould one of you Mods delete one or the other for me perhaps? pretty please
Here's a link to the Boogie Pimps video http://snipurl.com/3qms
I could play it back OK but couldn't figure out how to save it
Nice, er, smile that lady has

lol, (sob)i'm waiting for the jason nevins vs john lennon version of "imagine" - can't be far off eh?
link works OK for me, I just click on it and Media Player runs it. Is latest version of MP in Win XP. I do know that some people I know couldn't get it to work either, I don't really know why either. Sorry
no worries mate i suspect its me, my PC is long overdue a windows re-install tbh
i'll have a look on t'internet for it in work tomorrow

Yeah, that's the oneDon't you want somebody to love - The Boogies Pimps, I think. Nice vid though
Gah, I am not sure if it's be being a grumpy old sod, but this sort of thing nerks my noodle. Come up with something new, rather than butcher something old, something that refers to an age you have never experienced.
As for the vid, well I have know idea about what the babies are about. And as for the lass.
Well.
It could just be me I guess. But not only does her rack look plastic, she really needs a pie shop or two. Could just be me as I said, but the whole poking out bones look just doesn't do it for me.
CC: Each to his own mate, she certainly, uh, done something for me
Look, I worship Floyd, last saw 'em at Earls Court '94, I wonder if they'll ever tour again, I hope so, but who knows?
Jefferson Airplane? Not a lot of memories, really, but their performance on the Woodstock album is a joy 'Good Morning People, we bring you Morning Maniac Music' or something like that, can't remember exact wording, offhand.
Look, Nothing is really sacred, enjoy your music for what it is. If somebody covers it, yes, I know it's a sacrilege, it's awful, music industry manipulators are just cashing in and all that, but maybe, just maybe, one or two peeps will get turned on to the original.
And that, to my mind, makes it worthwhile
But, FWIW, I loathe these cover versions, truthfully, but if I didn't smile, I'd go mad...
I actually quite like the Boogie Pimps one. Does that make me a bad person? I like it more than the original.
There are a lot of covers I like more than the originals, like Always On My Mind by the Pet Shop Boys for example. Sampling has created some really good stuff, like Out of Space by the Progidy. Really the only group who should be banned from doing covers is Atomic rubbishrubbishrubbishrubbishten.

amen to that mateReally the only group who should be banned from doing covers is Atomic rubbishrubbishrubbishrubbishten

random scary thought for the day
just think....there are probably kids out there who think "jive bunny" wrote all those beatles classics
