The original has been ruined by those 4 dickheads from Sex and The City walking down the road all empowered like 'ooh strut strut' like knobs.

No way! Do you not like sex in the city? I would have bet lots of money you did.

You gain a point.

hmmmm decisons i think you lose a point.

You also lost one for not demanding that california derams cd off me but gained one for the funny pasta shapes thread, which i hadn't seen before by the way.

Your now verging on respectable.

I'm sure electrogirl lies awake at night, worrying about how many points you give her.
 
What is this 'points' system I seem to have unwittingly entered into? I don't want any of your POINTS. Take your unsolicited point system and STICK IT YEAH :mad:
 
Plllease my validations of you mean everything to you leccy, don't pretend otherwise.

You dream of achieving respectable or above. I know this, you know this, maggot doesn't know this apparently but who are they?

Ur sarcasem doesn't fool me.

No No if there is one thing I understand its thinking someone who is a complete cock is fairly cool and amusing.

The 'original' Candi Staton version is in my book the best tune ever written, bar none. This version is pap.

Next.
 
I don't mind the Florence and Machine re-make, but at the same time, was it really worth doing it? Fraid I'll stick with either the original Candi Staton or the Source bootleg remix from 1991.

Sarah Ferguson and Florence.

I like Fergie (though my Gran used to call her Friggie ;) ), but with that eye makeup she looks like Alice Cooper - too heavy. Someone should tell her IMO.

BTW, Florence's grandfather was deputy editor of the Telegraph Colin Welch who notably if not famously hated pop music.
 
frankie seemed to 'present' a load of songs around that time... did he basically shoehorn his ample girth into house music history by ripping off the likes of principle?
 
I really thought "what's the point" when I heard this cover. Really wasn't needed, although admittedly she does pull it off pretty well.

Well she has managed to make a classic sound like every other fucking song she has recorded:



The original wipes its arse with her:

with respect, that isn't 'the original' - in fact it's about the third 'remix' (the one that got into the charts IIRC) of the original john truelove rip off of THIS:



(statton acapella over the top of jamie principle instrumental by frankie knuckles, actually this isn't the true 'original' either but it's as close as i can find on youtube)

track of GLORY!

NB: that Florence song is just ROTTEN. I hate her guts.

truelove ripped the idea off Erin ( of 'and Roscoe') fame who used to do it live at Kinky Disco, where my old man did his only E in 92' ish.

Florence/ her A + R got the idea of doing an indie version of it from a band I worked with, who'd covered the Principle vocal version , not the CS vocal - we ripped the idea off a Scottish band X Vectors - they may have actually had the original idea at one point, someone must have.
 
at least she didn't cover '', so a part of our heritage is safe... for now:hmm:

eta - actually, probably does shade it in the perfection stakes.

yes, you're right. i'd forgotten about this. it was the 'Erin's bootleg mix' (which, IIFC had 'rock' on the other side) that was the first version of the statton/principle segue that became massive + Truelove then remixed for the charts.

Though Erin had simply appropriated Frankie Knuckles mix in the first place.

The XX remix of the Florence version is actually pretty good :)

Oh! I really like that.

A re-mix that brings something else to a tune is worth it. This Flo remix is a waste of time.

This link has a little history to the tune - apparently it's "probably the only ever example of a remix of a cover version of a refix of a mash-up of an a cappella of a song originally written for a diet video." - yeah right!
