Your favorite Dean remix

So, what's your favorite Dean remix ? While Hey YEAAAAAAAH (Outkast) is pretty good, I think the Original Rap remix- Rapping it up with Dean is the best. But I still haven't listened to all of 'em.

My favorite Dean remix is the speech he gave to his supporters Tuesday night after the results from New Hampshire were in. Unquestionably one of the best political speeches I've ever heard.

That's the one I'll remember.

BTW, did anyone watch the ABC Evening News last night? Diane Sawyer did a piece on the "I Have a Scream" speech, noting that what the tv audience heard was falsified by Dean's using a hand-held mike specifically designed to filter out crowd noises. When they replayed the speech from the crowd's viewpoint, adding back all the yelling and shouting they were making, it was clear that the only reason Dean was shouting was to try to make himself heard over the noise of his supporters. Most people in the room probably never even heard him "scream."

In other words, what they've been playing on television is a totally false unreality that turns Dean into a idiot that he never was.

And I'm not even a Dean supporter.

That all may be true, but it doesn't change that some of those remixes are pretty funny.

The most skillful I've heard is the CRAZY TRAIN remix; Dean and Ozzy are great together. But my fave is the South Park one, with Dean duetting with Timmy. That's perfection. And everybody loves Timmy!

I would vote for the Welcome to the Jungle one as "most artfully rendered." The way that guy/gal worked the intro of the song, with the "calm" Dean slowly becoming more and more excited as the guitars escalate, culminating (climaxing?), of course, with the "YEAGH!" It's a thing of beauty.
