Nigga wasn't this sung by Timex Social Club? But good shit. :tu

Basically anything from the 80's could be a hit today. There were so many good songs in the 80's.

Troof. PYT is begging for a remake.

i just hope who remakes it can actually sing. rock with you is probably my favorite mjack tune of all time:

If Bruno Mars doesn't overcook the song with overly high-pitched vocals, he could probably pull off a successful remake of PYT.

I've covered both of those tunes....and the band I did it with wanted the covers to be really authentic so, I had to spend alot of time with the sequencer tracking the strings and horn parts to Rock With Me. That's a pretty complex tune that comes off as if it were a really simple song. Genius songwriting.

do you have it saved somewhere?

[Drachen]

There is a large portion of the Depeche Mode catalog which would not even require a remake to be a hit today.

Yeah, here's a really early recording of it...pretty brutal rehearsal recording. :vomit: But the arrangement is there.

Holy Shit I can't believe I posted that.

Oh yeah? well here is a song that a buddy and I made back in 06... It's a beautiful melodic love song that I have this strange feeling that lebomb would like

https://myspace.com/theshitkings

pay attention to the backup vocals too.

[Drachen]

FWIW Teysha, I didn't think that it was great, but it had the seeds to be good. All you can ask from such a recording.

[TeyshaBlue]

"If she's a freak or a Betty Crocker!":lmao:lmao

[Trill Clinton]

That's lovely Drachen, I had no clue you'd be a sucker for a love song :lol

[Drachen]

"If she's a freak or a Betty Crocker!":lmao:lmao

as a musician, how did you like that third guitar solo?

[Drachen]

That's lovely Drachen, I had no clue you'd be a sucker for a love song :lol

so much so that I was vocals AND backup vocals. All on a miserable January day when I couldn't breath because of allergies. That's dedication.

[TeyshaBlue]

as a musician, how did you like that third guitar solo?

I think it perfectly reflected the pensive, introspective nature of the lyrics.:rollin I've apparently got to go to the woodshop to pull my skill level up to that. :lol

[Drachen]

Whoa Dude, you totally got it. We weren't sure if it showed through.

Good call. Kick would probably outsell most albums today.

[Samuel Eto'o]

Many people are surprised "Blister in the sun" is from 1983. I think if that was released now it would fit in with all the acoustic folky music (lumineers) that is popular right now.
