A remake of the Flying Pickets’ classic, “Only You”. I like the haunting combination of the lead singer’s voice with the melody. One of the better cover versions, it cannot be compared to the original simply because of the difference of delivery. Both are nice in their...

I liked the original but I thought it lacked enough worthiness for me to do a review. However, with this remix that adds a lot more pizzazz to the track I decided that I must share this version. Good club music emotional pick me up. DOWNLOAD Sean Paul – She Doesn’t Mind (Amnezia...

There’s always a fair share of song remakes, sampling or rehash every year. While some were misses, there are usually a few decent ones that doesn’t bring down the original. Here’s my pick for some of the best song remakes or sampling for 2011 in no particular order. Click on...

One of the best songs ever written and arguably the best Germany has given the world. This tune pushed Alphaville to achieve stardom status from an album that also gave us “Big in Japan”. I shall share 2 versions for you, the original and the remix for your listening pleasure....

I didn’t know that there’s a remake of Footloose coming out soon. Why oh why does Hollywood remake classics like these? Can’t they just leave it alone without screwing it up with a remake? The soundtrack is just a bunch of new songs plus some old ones off the original...

Doobie Brother’s best song! I first heard it at a pub when my music appetite was limited to CDs as the internet was not as in-depth as it is now. I prefer the remix version, and when I mean remix I only mean the beat to make it more livelier than the original. DOWNLOAD 1973 : Doobie...

I love the original by Mungo Jerry, in fact, I love this song and Shaggy did not do anything wrong by pumping in more life into an already lively track. Shaggy was on the ascent and was breaking new ground with lots of catchy tune. Whenever I have a family gathering, I almost always have this...

This is a catchy reggae version of Van Morrison’s hit, “Brown Eyed Girl”. It does not embarrass the original as Steel Pulse delivers a pumping reggae version which remains one of my favorite remakes of all time. Brilliant. DOWNLOAD 1997 : Steel Pulse – Brown Eyed Girl...

I like what Milk & Sugar did to this classic by the late Miriam Makeba written in 1957 by giving it a metaphrastic makeover without changing too much of the original. Definitely one of the most catchiest tune that has ever came out from the continent of Africa. DOWNLOAD Milk & Sugar...

Was it Brian Hyland or Bobby Vinton that wrote the original? I wonder what were they thinking when the wrote it? Probably seeing a lady it a very small micro-bikini strutting the stuff of the beach. Bombalurina remade the song in the 90s and this time Pitch and Patch gives it a 2011 remake,...

I reviewed this song a while ago, and Karl Wolf intelligently releases a new chorus to this track, which I think is miles better than the original track. Peter Cetera’s “Glory of Love” drives the chorus to the brink of catchiness. Me like. Me like a lot. I hope Karl Wolf...

I’m sure you’ve heard the original way back in 1983 where the songs that came out that year were just classics of their own. Michael Jackson trumped them all though with his legendary “Beat It” and “Billie Jean”. Songs like this one had to play second...
