On the radio right now. A techno version of “Sunglasses At Night”. :dubious: ---

According to [allmusic.com](http://allmusic.com), SAN is a new-wave song. That doesn’t seem too incompatible with techno to me. I think it would be weird to hear a techo version of a mainstream modern country. Like that one I hate that goes “hell yeah/turn it up”. Or techo blues! ---

I agree… new wave is basically 80s techno so I don’t find it weird at all. The country version of “Gin and Juice” I heard a few years ago, on the other hand, still gives me nightmares. ---

I’d reply, but I’ve long since accepted that I don’t process music the same way as most of the people on this board. Not saying either way is better; just that I’m almost always in the minority with my opinions, so I’ll let it go. ---

I thought Secret Agent Man by toledo Polkamotion was pretty wrong on more than one level ☹ ---

There’s an accoustic version of “Boys In The Hood” by Dynamite Hack. It’s…different listening to a gangster rap song sung by a country singer. ---

I heard a Mexican folk version of “Back on the Chain Gang” at a burrito shop. _That_ was weird. ---

You haven’t heard anything until you’ve heard “Rubber Ducky” techno…in German. ---

> [@RandMcnally](#): > > There’s an accoustic version of “Boys In The Hood” by Dynamite Hack. It’s…different listening to a gangster rap song sung by a country singer. I just heard that a few days ago. I had to listen to the whole thing because I thought it was so strange.
