Sunday Session: Remix Convert

On Sundays, I join Thea at Do I Really Wanna Blog? in popping some music on the blog. The rules are: there are no rules!
Old or new or in between. Related or not.
But always songs you love!
Here are my picks for this week.
You can play along by linking up with Thea.
Happy Sunday!

We're going back to the old rules this week: one old song and one newer song. The first song is a Ghost from Music Past. I remember being a young adult and experiencing dancing at nightclubs for the first time. It was the late eighties and the minute this song came on I'd be up on the dance floor, giving it all I had. I was way cool, as you can imagine.

Here's Technotronic with Get Up (Before The Night Is Over)



And the next song is a Ghost from Music Present, because it is the same song but has been remixed to make it more modern and funky. I think the first time I heard it, I wrote it off, thinking that it wasn't as good as the original and "Why do they DO that to perfectly good songs?" Well since I've been seeking out dance music to exercise to, I've developed an appreciation for the remix. Now, I see a remix as a way of rejuvenating an old song. Some of the younger folk might never have heard of Technotronic if it weren't for Global Deejays and their remix of Get Up:



So what do you think, do you love a good remix or are you loyal to the original version of a song?

It's your turn, why don't you find a favourite song or two, post them on your blog and link up with Thea. It's easy and fun. Through Sunday Session, I've been exposed to so many fabulous songs I never would have found otherwise. If you don't have a blog, then I still recommend you head over to Thea's to check out what others have shared this week.
