Gah; can’t sleep. From what I can tell by reading this thread, songs that are prime candidates for re-editing are those that were at least somewhat popular, are danceable (or that have/could use a “big beat”) and have a high “kitsch-factor” and/or are guilty pleasures. So:

• Adam & The Ants – Antmusic
• Asia – Only Time Will Tell
• Asia – The Smile Has Left Your Eyes
• Big Country – In A Big Country
• Boston – Amanda
• David Bowie – Let’s Dance
• Jackson Browne – Somebody’s Baby
• Climax Blues Band – I Love You
• Christopher Cross – Sailing
• Culture Club – Time (Clock Of The Heart)
• Cutting Crew – (I Just) Died In Your Arms
• Duran Duran – New Moon On Monday
• INXS – Don’t Change
• Men At Work – Overkill
• Outfield – Your Love
• Robert Plant – Big Log
• Billy Squier – Everybody Wants You
• Styx – Babe
• Grover Washington, Jr. – Just The Two Of Us

Looking back, a lot of these are hardly “danceable,” but I guess I’d like to see them re-edited and I think they could use a stronger beat. So, for selfish reasons, I included them.

Perhaps the world may finally be ready to hear my dubs of Tom Petty's "Don't Come Around Here No More" and "You Got Lucky"

dude is skinny

but a great dj!

Queen - Another One Bites The Dust

HI DERE

"too shy" by kajagoogoo. the intro with that chorused bass noise goes on forever in my head.

ZZ Top - Cheap Sunglasses

this is one of my favorite thread titles

charming moustach-parading Scandanavian wag << o 4 the dayz of changeable usernames

check out justus kohncke's dub of the human league's "the things that dreams are made of".

"thug" off eliminator is so hot, i'd love to hear that out

"the way it is" is crying out for a really commercial edit that catapults said moustache-bearer to fleeting euro-stardom for the length of one summer.

hmmm tiedye (and/ or associates of) did a dub of 'don't come around here no more'

http://www.discogs.com/release/1344423

i have a mustache :-/

HEART - love alive

good drums

Golden Earring-Twilight Zone.

well it deserves some kind of edit.

"I'm Not in Love" by 10CC

Terje is weak, this whole fad pretty much sucks ass. one of the few exceptions i can think of: that Editions Disco edit of Paul Simon "Late In The Evening". other than that, just play the 80's jam if you wanna play the 80's jam.

get out of my thread.

haha

"get out of my thread.

get off of my jock

has anyone done ON THE BEACH / chris rea?

his new thing has an edit of 'horse with no name'

under the alias WADE NICHOLS which is dennis parkers real name

My everlasting favorite is stil Terje's edit of Roxy Music 'Avalon'. Sublime

The "On the Road Again" on the new 'un is good. The "Horse with No Name" doesn't do much.

If I was on that horse I would have given it a name, just for something to do.

If part of the purpose of the edit is recontextualising hideously uncool records for the modern hipster, then someone should really do Warm Wet Circles by Marillion, (possibly editing out all the vocals). Gorgeous sparkling chorused guitars, great big 80s drums, crisp lovely production, perfect!

Also, not '80s, but I would die for an edit of the LP version of Art for Art's Sake. It's got so many cool parts that are just begging to be looped, and that intro! Beautiful!

"Chalk Dust (The Umpire Strikes Back)" by the Brat.

Pretenders - Mystery Achievement

wow, that was bad

Anyone else heard Terje's edit of M's Pop Muzik?

It's about 35 minutes into this mix that he did for Faith Fanzine recently.

The original's a great track but I really like what he's done with it. Seems to have a bit of a Mungolian Jet Set vibe about it.

was trying to remember what raer cool disco edit had this incredible instrumental where the bass goes WHAAOW WHAAOW! WHAAOW WHAAOW! at one instrumental section

then i realized i was thinking of thriller lmao

There's a really good edit of Thriller by The Revenge that you can get here

why hasnt anyone done a good balearic edit of human nature yet?

Maybe an instrumental mix of "Right Here" would do the trick.

we need a moustach-parading scandinavian wag

What exactly is Terje's process for his edits? Does he need a 12" with instrumental and a capella versions? I'm wondering how he can process the voices without affecting anything else.

i've seen it suggested that he's playing additional instrumental parts and overdubbing them.

^^ totally this, wake me up when it happens. Just need to make the swooshy bits last 3 times longer and put some bassdrums in and you're done.

Is there one of 'You Can Go Your Own Way' yet? Needs one that doesn't let you get to the chorus for at least four minutes.

http://soundcloud.com/zambon/i-want-to-know-what-love-is-kukabara-instr-rework

not psychedelic or even disco but this is a really sweet edit of 50 ways to leave your lover

http://anothernightonearth.blogspot.com/2010/05/pollyn-simon.html

http://soundcloud.com/young-edits/tears-for-fears-change-young-edits-version

I would like to hear an edit for Break It Down Again to go along with Change.

also, how do you download those tracks from soundcloud

Can someone either point me to disco edits of the following or create disco edits of same:

Maxi Priest - Close To You
The Travelling Wilburys - Handle Me With Care
Wilson Phillips - Hold On

Also:

Daryl Braithwaite - Horses
