Mr. Newstyle Videogame Remix Guy!:

Dizzy The Adventurer - Mix Dizz
by Makke
(local download)

What is comprised here represents a special little treat that we should feel so blessed to receive. Recently it seems like there's been a resurgance of OC Remixes that involve lyrics. For the longest time I professed myself wholly against such things. Maybe creative sampling of video game dialogue, that's pretty good, or strange robotic voices that have no place in this modern world. But honest to goodness lyrics? Well what good can come of that?

But the whole reason Mr. Newstyle got started was because I was totally into this Italian song and if jdproject is gonna back up this "lyrics" thing too then I guess it's just about time to give up the goat and get going with the going is good. I mean, we can't be afraid words even if they were used to make some pretty atrocious Mega Man songs. Tha's just crazy.

With 2'39 Makke doesn't have a lot of time to get things going. The tale of Dizzy and Daisy is related by his front vocalist in the best way he can manage. His self-deprecating revelation of never actually playing the game stirkes both my funny bone and my sensitive side. For you see, dear readers, it is the way of many remix purveyors to not be familiar with their source material. Cute little joke or geek social commentary? Sometimes it's difficult to separate the two...

There's just about nothing this song contains that djpretzel hasn't already said in his delicious write-up. So while I'd like to hold your attention for awhile longer, I wouldn't know what to express. However know this: I thought of both pop-punk band Rancid and Gene Chandler's legendary performance of doo-wop classic Duke of Earl (that's on that weird 4 am infomercial) when I first heard this song. djpretzel might be smarter, more handsome, and more popular than I am, I'll have it be known that I can at least equal him in the indentification of musical styles in self-professed trashy poppish OC Remix.

Also I got laid... (once).

That was pretty sweet.

But Could I Drive To This?: Because of the high caliber "doo-wop"ing this song entails, I'm not convinced that driving to it would be entirely safe. Whilst picking up Skabs from the dirt hole that is Bensalem I found myself wobbling back and forth from lane to lane on I-95. The reason for this could be attributed to just one thing: Makke and his disastrously catch tune. Suffice it to say: if I ever get into an accident, Makke gets the bill.
