What song/s would you remake if you could?



1. Love Will Tear Us Apart (Joy Division and yes, I realize this song has been remade 1000's o'times).
2. Sympathy for the Devil (Rolling Stones)
3. Passover (Joy Division)
4. Nagasaki Nightmare (Crass)
5. Isolation (Chumbawamba)

etc...
ad nauseam

I would like to remake "My Humps" by The Black Eyed Peas. I don't want some other band to record a new version though. I want to remake the current version into four minutes of dead air. It would be more listenable that way.

[malfouka]

Echoes (Pink Floyd)

[fuba_r]

1. California Uber Alles (Dead Kennedys -- "I'm governor Arnie Schwarz, My muscles shine, I've got your support...")

2. A Town Called Malice (The Jam -- debatably the best song of the 1980s, would be so much fun to sing)

3. Understand Your Man (Johnny Cash -- would be good to do in drag)

4. Anything by Selena (I know the lyrics and I can do a semi-decent (debatable again) immitation of singing with her songs)

5. Shama Lama Ding Dong (Otis Day and the Knights -- fun fun fun)

Well, I would take all the R&B, [c]Rap, hip hop and gererally bad CDs, tapes, videos and their performers and make them into a pudding and feed starving children in Africa.

Also, I would remake a load of old orchestra music using electric guitars and drums, stuff like the Alton Towers theme tune [I don't know what it's really called].

I'm all for this...should we start a petition? The absolute worst thing about this song is that I was introduced to it over Xmas. My sister had my 6 year old niece singing and dancing along with it. I was repulsed but said nothing.

I third the motion. That song sucked! Keep the video clip though because I was able to watch that quite comfortably when the volume was set to mute.

[Chad]

I would remake the song "Word up", because it would be an original idea. Except the exact opposite of what I just said

[Dave]

Public Enemy...with guitars. Loud, distorted guitars.

[The Corporal]

Is there anything by the Black Eyed Peas that doesn't suck? Especially that goddamn My Humps. I've made it a personal mission to add $150 to the speeding ticket of any douchebag I pull over who happens to be listening to that song.

[Deb]

I like their Pump It, but only because they're using the music from Pulp Fiction.

[The Corporal]

I just see the name Black Eyed Peas and automatically run to the bathroom to puke. Pulp Fiction music or not.

[Chad]

Hey Corp, I'll toss in an extra $150 just for you if you tazer anyone listening to them and get it on tape for me

[TheSonOfMork]

I'd pay to see that. Count me in too.

[Cris]

I'd pay you a grand a week for life, if you tassered any member of the Black Eyed Peas.

[TheSonOfMork]

Cris, do you even make a grand a week?

It's Dick Dale. Dick Dale. Surf guitar legend. Ugh, does Quentin Tarantino take credit for that too? My dislike of him grows exponentially with each passing second.

[heide137]

No, Tarantino doesn't take credit for Dick Dale's guitar stylings. A lot of people were exposed to his surf music through that soundtrack, though.

Tarantino hater? Feh.

Does Anthrax count when they did that cover with Public Enemy? I think you would need an extra guitar in the mix to properly cover the squeals that were so discordant when PE first came onto the scene. It was the loud squeals placed into the music that won me over with PE, well, that and the anti-semetic remarks (JUST KIDDING).

Yeah him. The Dick Dale guy.
