I don’t think it can be as bad as the dance re-mix of Motorhead’s Ace of Spades. Even Lemmy was pissed at that. Makes my skin crawl just thinking of if. Of course it’s fun to throw on at parties for the WTF factor. ---

There was a disco medley of Sex Pistols hits done by an Israeli disco band around the same time the Sex Pistols were big. So the disco-version-of-hard-rock-song isn’t that new. ---

I kinda like it… Course, they play that same riff when Chipper Jones comes up to bat…so everytime I hear that song, I think of Chipper. ~sighs happily~ ---

Robert Plants voice goes right through my head, and anyone who could come up with anything as pretentious as “does anybody remember laughter?” in the “song remains the same” version of Stairway to heaven and then continues to do it EVERY SINGLE TIME it is played live deserves their own little circle of hell. ---

YEAH! As much as I hate to admit it, Li’l Jon and his krunk style have really grown on me, and I have to give it up for fellow Miami boy Trick Daddy. I don’t hate the song nearly as much as I probably should. Let’s gooooo! ---

I never need to hear Stairway again, but I will always like Over the Hills and Far Away, Tangerine, and Goin’ to California. Good stuff. ---

I like it. The original is kind of boring after the intro, and the new version is all intro. ---

In general I agree, but I just love Social Distortion’s punk rock rendition of “Ring of Fire” 😃 ---

> [@Squink](#): > > …Ice-T, Shut Up, Be Happy to the tune of Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath:…-Genius remake, scarier than the original. Squink, the true genius behind _ShutUp, Be Happy_ (From The Iceburg/Freedom of Speech Album) is NOT Ice-T’s repetitive inclusion of the Black Sabbath lick – It’s the inclusion of **Jello Biafra** ’s [‘Message From Our Sponsor’](http://sg1.allmusic.com/cg/smp.dll?link=v1859cgq0bqu25mas9mc4z8&r=20.asx) monologue (Which can be found in its entirety on his spoken word CD [No More Cocoons](http://music.barnesandnoble.com/search/product.asp?userid=a11LOGcADM&EAN=721616005929&ITM=1)) ---

> [@JohnBckWLD](#): > > Squink, the true genius behind _ShutUp, Be Happy_ (From The Iceburg/Freedom of Speech Album) is NOT Ice-T’s repetitive inclusion… That’s quite possible. Ice-T isn’t in one of my usual musical genres. I just heard the CD, and liked it so much I _had_ to have it. My knowledge of his roots, or what else he’s done is so tiny as to leave much room on the head of a pin. ---

Ozzy and Black Sabbath aren’t really my thing, but for anyone looking for a great Sabbath cover, I’d recommend the Ruins’ “Black Sabbath Medley Reversible” on _Tzomborgha_, where they play probably 20 Sabbath songs, some backwards, as spastically as possible on bass, drums, and crazy high-pitched vocals within the space of several minutes. Followed by their Mahavishnu Orchestra medley. BTW, I’m a wholehearted supporter of different-genre or different-sound covers, as long as they don’t suck. Some of them, like Eddie Vedder’s crappy grunge version of “You’ve Got to Hide Your Love Away,” can be intolerable, but then there are also gems like Devo’s “Satisfaction.” What I can’t stand are soundalike covers, especially ones done for commercials because they couldn’t get permission to use the original recording or something. As for remixes and sampling, definitely “hell yes” as long as it doesn’t suck. Take Hank Handy’s intensely awesome [Beatles mash-up medley](http://www.cis.rit.edu/~sdlpci/Beatles%20Mash-up%20Medley%20-%20Hank%20Handy.mp3), for example ([here are some mirrors if that link doesn’t work](http://www.boingboing.net/2004/12/29/incredible_beatles_m.html)).
