Remixes, for what?

It has happened with all of us. A familiar tune starts in the radio, something we always love to hear. But wait, it's not entirely the same... some stupid beat starts and a 21st century eunuch starts to sing. And your favorite song is ruined. Today, while getting a haircut (at the kuaför) I was inspired to write this post when I heard the following song:


What the fuck, really. Just raise the tempo and "spice" it with the typical countryside beat and your remix is done. Needless to say, Sting is the original artist performing:


Next one, please! During an erasmus party, somebody thought it's a cool idea to violate our ears with this shit:


It's tricky because if you're drunk enough you won't reckognize the difference so you just sing it in euphoria until the usual dance shit just destroys your night. Original:


Our next contester just slightly made it to this list since he had some acceptable pop songs. But why remake the original Let's Dance to a super gay, autotune rubbish? No idea really, but here you are:


And now your tainted brain needs purification. David Bowie, straight from the 80's!


However there is nothing more irritating than the following song. Usual disco, but the "artist" won't stop at the "regular redundant remix" milestone, but surpasses itself in shitness and creates the following title: Eric Prydz VS Pink Floyd. As if there was a fucking fight between the two. Not that the outcome of such fight has ever been a question. Anyways, here you are, kill your ears:


The original (ehm sorry, the only true one):


The que is definetely endless. To put the frosting on our tasteless cake, I bring you a no.1 artist (well, rapper, businessman, etc.), the mighty Kanye West himself. We all know that pop industry loves stealing but hip-hop (let's say: the commercialized one) is way in front of it. No, eventhough Kanye bought the license, left most of the King Crimson song unused. Just a fucking line, unedited. I imagine mighty Kanye brainstorming in the studio with the producer:
'Yo homie, ya know I wanna kinda cheer my new single up'
'Go back to the 60-70's, you always find something useful.Take King Crimson for instance.'
'That shit is crazy man! Let's make a fat beat and spice it up with their chorus. Or just a line from the chorus, ya know what I mean'
'Yes Kanye. A minute and it's done.'

Really, what's the point? No idea either, but check it out here (0:37):


Make haste! Here is the original version to lye your ears:


I swear next time I'll write a post about good remixes (oops, done that before), or just pray for the gods of the pop industry not to steal quality music in the future.
