This flamenco-y, disco-y version of the Animal’s [Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood](https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=st+esmeralda) is, well, flamenco-y and disco-y. The out-of-sync dubbing is bad enough, but that singer…manoman.

Worst traditional Christmas song track ever-

He ruined the Doobie Brothers, and hates Christmas too!

HUH! #45 - Psuedo Echo’s Funky Town, I like that song. I like it better than Lipp Inc.

This is a cover of an instrumental song that was done for an updated version so I don’t know if this exactly counts or not. I always thought the original [Mission Impossible TV theme](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGSUjuSBt1A) was a great theme song in its own right, and while the one done for the [first Tom Cruise movie](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAYhNHhxN0A) was a good update the section that starts at 1:14 in completely loses me. The techno-y update of the original is great but then you get that bizarre almost moaning sound for absolutely no reason that doesn’t sound like it belongs and isn’t present in the original TV theme. Ruins the entire song for me despite me liking everything around that brief section.
