This is a remix of one of the ingame tunes from Park Patrol. A very catchy one, that I find myself humming every now and then, eventhough the last time I played that game was some 10 years ago.
And then I couldn't resist of putting some BreakDance into the refrain, you know that sound, that song, that incredibly cool sound that I couldn't believe the first time I heard it!
Anyway, this remix isn't easy to live with. I know! You'll have to get used to it, and slowly start building up a relationship with it. It's isn't ment to be a "listen-love-and-forget"-remix. It's more of a "listen-hate-love-hate-love-hate-love-hate-never-forget"-remix. Did I manage? Well, I don't know, so please tell me!
Elsa Persson is singing all the vocals, and if you can't follow them, let's say it's mostly about "Come on and break dance", "Get you fat f*cking ass on the ground". She's an altoe and indeed a very nice and light-hearted person, living in Lund, Sweden. She would never have put those words into her own mouth unless I hadn't forced her!
Any comments? Love it or hate it? I personally would *love* to have your comments. A mail, a review, a post at this forum, it's a world full of possibilities!
It's interesting how vocals are starting to play a bigger role in SID remixes. Whether it's replicating the melody or adding depth to a tune, with digital recording techniques it has become much easier to sing along with SID...
Now, to this tune. Mahoney, you have done a really good job. The original is very soft, but what we have here is very different. In places it reminded me of Bjork, in others it was very 80's.
I agree that some people may find it difficult to live with, even completely off the wall. On a second listen I was getting used to it, by the third I loved it!

I love it! I'm getting really into your remixes, Pex, and I think this is a great example. Very funky and an interesting take on the original SID. Highly recommended.
This is really cool. The breakdance part had me uncontrollably tapping my feet to the rythm. The vocalist has done a great job too - my congrats to her!
...again a very special tune, pex. rrowl... that voice curls up my toenails
as for the dancing... tried to get my fat ass off the ground... and then my girlie entered the room and witnessed me nutso doing some moves with my headphones on... i thought them groovy but all she did was laughing until she dropped... hoohah!
