idea number one

Incongruent re-mixes.....der.....
We were talking about Bob Dylan the other day and because of the special quality of his voice wondered what re-mixes he could do...you'll get the drift if you imagine his voice singing ABBA hits like "Take a Chance on Me"..."Dancing Queen"??.........go on try it!
Then we tried to think of other happy clappy songs that he could be re-mixed onto.." Annie's Song"? any ideas??
Who else could we re-mix incongruently?

Radiohead's rendition of Cliff Richard's `Congatulations`, got in on bootleg from a market in Croyden, it has a brass band on it, pre `OK Computer`!

Excellent idea Andrea..perhaps we should include world heroes in this? Ian Duncan Smith leads a choir of Bosnian asylum seekers in "American Pie" .....sorry that's abit grim really..I meant this to be light relief!! What about back to Bob Dylan...This time he and Mick Jagger got together for a reggae re-mix of "Hey Big Spender" featuring a special rap insert from Big Shirley herself

Robert, I think some other ladies could benefit from a grapple with the Captain's..or maybe TomWaites' or Leonard Cohen's or even Velvet Underground tracks............. Martine McCluskin (not really sure how to do that spelling) could give a really new feel to Velvet's "I'm waiting for my man". Liana and Andrea you could be in charge of the video and perhaps some time in that boobs? All I the best possible taste of course Mark could watch!

Oooh, I'd love to hear this... Ann Widdecombe - 'Everybody Must Get Stoned...' (one of Bob's (not the Builders) finest, Kim, I'm sure you'll agree). I think I'll pass on the boobs - ain't been able to find 'em for years.

there must be a whole album's worth of songs for anne widdecombe...Everybody Must Get Stoned would have to be the single [B side: Roll With It?] i'm beginning to wish kim hadn't started this. i'm sitting here trying to imagine tom waits singing Spice Up Your Life...and all this boobs talk is very distracting too...

Ms Widdecombe's back...sorry, B side, should definitely be...'Do You Think I'm sexy?'

I was sitting here mulling over what song I could remix with Morrissey until I realised that singing and Morrissey is an incongruent mix anyway! ~post dedicated to robert~

I always thought that if young Hendrix was still with us, children, he could have brought an added dimension to most of my back catalogue. You Are Sixteen would be my favourite.

oh dear oh dear...I feel very awed by your contributions..unfortunately i foolishly mentioned this at a party and well der...the following is the reslut (result i mean) "I should be so lucky" Tom Waites and Leonard Cohen duo "Sunday Bloody Sunday" by Margaret Thatcher backings from Norman Tebbitt Eminem sings radicla new up beat mix on "Two Four Six Eight Motorway" Posh Spice "sings" Leonard Cohen's "Suzanne Takes You Down" And FINALLY..Little Rob says he wants this one...you may have to research a little to get this one in your head:- The Dead Kennedys version of George Frombie's "When I'm Cleaning Windows" a double A side with George Formbie singing "Holiday in Cambodia" If you don't get it it's about shared frenetic dugadungdugadung-ness of this music That's me done!!!!
