    Default Is every 80's song now a remade techno track?

    Okay, so my "people" are partly to blame for this (Euro)...but really..I've now heard everything short of "Achy breaky heart" remade into a crappy dance version sang by some rando.

    The other night I heard the dance version to SISTER CHRISTIAN! I swear to you. I sat there trying not to spit out my water.

    There has to be an end to this!

    What are the worst and oddest remakes you've heard?

    almost everything has been remixed in one way or another, sometimes authorized, sometimes not.

    Remixing 80s songs seems to be a guaranteed safe choice for many artists. What I find really bad though are the remixed techno versions of movie scores.

    For example

    I have a techno version of the Oompa Loompa song and Little Mermaids "Kiss the Girl"

    So ummmmmmmmmmm Yes. What was old is new again. 80's are the new black.

    I have the 12'', the actual vinyl, of Bowie's "Magic Dance". There's a "Dance Mix" on the B-side that is so terribly 80's that it's brilliant. It was 25 cents at a garage sale.

    The last one I heard was rather weird...it took me forever to figure out that it was unbreak my heart by Toni Braxton because it was sped up soooo fast and it wasn't her singing it (just the lyrics)

    Just out of curiosity where does someone find these remakes? (not remixes) are they sent to the club as promos? I've always wondered that. Because they aren't something you hear anywhere else.

    I heard the bathroom attendants make and distribute them in their spare time.

    I heard a techno sounding version of the song from Gladiator. The one with enya singing. The song is sped up and sounds weird.

    I justt was having this discussion like a few nights ago when I was at a club and they play "Party all the Time" by Eddie Murphy with the original video.

    It IS every song.
