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.
