Michael Jackson Eats Boys Noize
January 21st, 2008My favourite and trademark M.J. song ‘Beat It’ was raped by Boys Noize. (Thank you Missingtoof. The post there is called ‘Pop Remixed’ - awesome.) Or was it the other way around? I think I’ll go along with the second version.
Guilty pleasures are becoming cool. Everyone has them and everyone likes to deny. Just take a look at this picture and ask yourself: can you honestly say that it’s not superfucking
hot? Natural selection is underway in bringing these pleasures to the light and surface. New artists take on songs from officially not-cool but in the ‘who the fuck cares about it’ sense they are awesome. Like M.J. Super hip djs the Villains did M.J. The Bloody Beetroots will get huge because of they are suprising! (Remixed Metallica, She’s a maniac, etc) Felix Cartal did Ashlee Simpson, Metronomy covered Toxic (it kinda sucks) and there’s a great remix of Kriss Kross’s Jump by D-L-i-d, etc. You might think that the remixers make these songs listenable but you are wrong. More likely, the remixers themselves are affected by the originals. Fun eats it’s way into the underground more explicitly.
The remix itself is forgettable. I’m not a big fan of Boys Noize. (Oi Oi Oi is ok but nothing more.) The last 2 and a half minutes are good but I think the dynamics are sorta lost and there should be more of the vocals. The effort is appreciated.
