The remake

The remake, how I hate the remake, very rarely does it actually improve the song, thank god the original singers are dead, yet even now, I'm sure they are rolling in their graves. Why is it these poncy little upstarts think the only way they'll achieve success is to completely slaughter someone else's songs. There is only one thing worse than the remake and that's the remix, what's the fascination with dissecting a song, ripping it apart and adding some shit computer sounds. What upsets me the most, I believe is that kids today are so mentally backward that they actually enjoy it, and not only do they enjoy it, they have the gall to call it music. You can't dance to it and NO, jumping up and down making a complete ass of yourself is not dancing, it's having a fit. I wasn't forced into ballroom dancing for five years so I could stand on a dance floor and be groped by some de-sexed lowlife whose only intent is a five-minute root and to forget my name in the morning, that's if it has bothered to find out my name in the first place, but I'm getting off the topic. I haven't always hated the remake, musicians used to try and make a bit of an effort, but now they don't even bother. Take for example, The Fugees "killing me softly" I don't think I've ever heard a song killed so painfully, with the exception of Flacco's take on Roy Orbison's "Sandman" but that pain was intentional. I would add the words "no offence" but I am offended and you should be too. Is the music world that daft that they don't think we'll recognize a remake when we hear one? If you're not deaf, you'll wish you were, and if you listen to this shit long enough, I'm sure you'll go deaf. Whatever happened to the days when songs were copyrighted and copying them came with a hefty fine? I'm not saying that older music is better, some of the performers from the eighties should be strung up and shot. I'm sure you've all heard your parents say, "it's not music, it's just noise" and I'm saying they're right, the toilets been flushed and the real music has gone down the drain.


I'm sure all of you have at least one song that you liked and has been remade into crap. Tell us the songs.
