you can dance if you want to, you can leave your friends behind. but if your friends dont dance, theyre no friends of mine.

There are a few Mariachi songs I would like to hear. Not as "serious" songs, but as funny songs that are thrown in as a change of pace. I heard they made a house song and took vocals from a SNL clip where Will Farrell is banging the hell out of a cowbell and Christopher Walken says "Ok, that's good... but I need a little more cowbell" I love to be dancing and then hear some funny or unexpected shit, it just adds another dimension to the set. Also there was an 80's song that went "You belong to the city, you belong to the night..." and then went "He's a man of the night" or something. I think that would be a great song to hear remixed too

O.k. I know this is a bit of a buzz kill, but....

How about writing something original? All this regurgitation of classic material is just a way to catch peoples attention with someone else's steam. I have never heard a remix of a classic song by The Police, Bob Marley, Michael Jackson, Cindi Lauper or anyone else that was better than the original. I can't even say that the reinterpretation was worth the listen.

I have done remix work of older material (at the request of the original artist) and can honestly say that I found the process demeaning to the original production.

Simply put.....

You can't improve on perfection. Don't try! To me (at least) it is the equivalent to adding a few trees to a Picasso Painting. (people think trees are cool!!!)

If your intention is to get famous on someone else's genius then I ask you, and maybe you should ask yourself....

Do you really have any talent?
