still alive
It didn’t take long after Britney Spears’ newest single, “Womanizer”, hit the Web before the remixers got to work.

This is, by far, my favorite remix title of the bunch:

Womanizer (You Love Her Coz She’s Dead remix)

Reports of Ms. Spears’ demise are, of course, greatly exaggerated. But for song remixing purposes, it helps to craft an alternate reality.

Too bad the track itself isn’t as good as its title. In fact, all the remixes on that linked post are subpar, including (most disappointingly) the one from The Teenagers. The only decent ones so far are from Brooklyn’s own Mr. Vega, I think. I’m waiting for some strong extended-play reinterpretations of this jammin’ little tune to emerge.

UPDATE, 10/9/2008: I’m obviously not hip enough to have known that “You Love Her Coz Shes Dead” is not so much a wishful descriptor for Britney, but rather the name of a chiptune(ish) band. I still like the juxtaposition in the track title, though.

  1. “Womanizer” Remixes…

    Music Buzz: Britney Spears’s new single (currently #1 on iTunes) is getting the remix treatment all over the place. First she swept the VMA’s, and now her new single is feeling the love. Do we smell a comeback or is that just Cheetos residue?…
