Crap.

Simple Minds it is then.

Somebody has to tell Musique though that simply slapping a filter over the riff doesn't make it 'Dub'.

It makes Prydz's Proper Education and Valerie look like masterpieces of reinterpretation.

Aye, Simple Minds have been so unfashionable for the past 17 years i imagine they're ripe for rediscovery. I confess, i have all their early stuff on vinyl and very good it is too.

Which isn't a bad feat but i do get your point.

EDIT: Opening riff of "Someome somewhere in summertime" seems ripe for the taking.

ah, just Googled: 'Simple Minds remix'. It looks like everyone (and their collective djing dog) has had a similar idea recently.

I think Smells Like Teen Spirit is improved by Rickrolling

also the NIN (Rick Astley mashup) which has the self-same structure as the above two songs

Look at the stars.
The great kings of the past are up there,
watching over us.

I always imagined someone a bit more lion-hearted.

Maybe Richard The Lionheart, the (in)famous crusader ...
