Title: Dire Straits remixed!!
Post by: Best Brown Baggies on March 16, 2011, 09:42:54 AM

Hi. I was ploughing through page after page of youtube footage of DS the other day and found these.

Quite clever i thought, although the Sultans remix uses footage of the R&J and TOL videos ::) ;D

There are some truley horrendous remixes out there, and i know that none are official, although i think Deepdish did some which might of got some chart interest in the 80's & 90's.

What do you think?

Hi BBB!   I didn't expect to, but actually I really enjoyed these remixes, but probably MFN less so, because it seemed a bit half and half and less remix, if you get my meaning!   :)

Hehe Well made, particularly Sultans. MFN was awful though, both musically and visually (Madonna makes me sick to my stomach).

thanks for posting  :lol

SOS, nice and funny. I guess it needed some work. I really enjoyed watching it  :D
Waterline, just acceptable
MFN, awful

There is one MFN remix which is very good, I think it is the Deep Dish one.

There is one by The Purple Kings which is awful.

Not really a remix, but Relax by Deetah sampled Why Worry and was a great little track.

I really enjoyed Sultans. Could happily put that on my iPod.

I remember hearing the Deep Dish MFN remix and I liked it very much.   :)

Weird Al used MFN for Beverly Hillbillies. He definitely should have used THIS version ... Wonder why the banjo never found a wider audience ...

But Weird got Mark on his version.

Did you know Deep Dish is actually a spelling mistake? Initially it was called Deep Sh*t. I think they "produce" the worst sound samples behind each other... ::) Maybe they should find some inspiration outside the Room-101-studios... Sorry can't help it, but it's crap imo. ;D

John Legend used a part of TOL in his song.
