Top Ten Song Remixes Which Ruined the Original Song

I like a good remix of a classic electronic song. A GOOD remix, do you hear? Not crap like I have added below! K.M.N.
The Top Ten
1 Finally (Danny Tenaglia Remix) - Kings of Tomorrow

Of all remixes, this is by far the most fake and the most tuneless and horrible. And what a way to ruin one of KOT's finest classics.

Totally agree. I've never heard it but if you say the remix ruined the original song, Pos, who am I to argue?

2 Body Work (Revolvr Remix) - Morgan Page

The original track is catchy, mellifluous and is very well refined. Revolvr's go at this is exactly the opposite. It's one thing I hate about Revolvr.

3 Extreme Ways (Voodoo Child Remix) - Moby

The first thing you notice is that it sounds nothing like the original, and could just as easily be some annoying mainstream deep house track. The second thing you notice is those mind-numbingly tone-deaf intervening vocals which repeat over and over again for ten minutes. The third thing you notice is your uncontrollable urge to turn this crap off, and despair in the ruination of the song.

4 The Perfect Life (Luigi Rocca Remix) - Moby

I'm surprised that Moby would allow this to happen to his music.

5 Feelings (Falcon Funk Remix) - F.O.O.L

This is the single most boring track in the modern era, which certainly contrasts with the original mix.

6 Teardrop (Synkraft Remix) - Massive Attack

The original is wonderful. Now it's broken.

7 Smells Like Teen Spirit (Dual Remix) - Nirvana

I most often don't listen to remixes of original songs. In fact I hate remixes, whether good or bad.

Anyone want to hear Kurt Cobain sound like a robot with explosive bowels? Look no further.

8 In This World (Quartz DNB Remix) - Moby

The original track is beautiful. This just gives me a headache.

9 Welcome to the Black Parade (Steve Aoki Remix) - My Chemical Romance

My Chemical Romance deserved better than this.

10 I Remember (J Majik & Wickaman Remix) - Deadmau5

It's just a faster version of it which you can't bring yourself to enjoy. You know the beat's in there, but it just doesn't come out.

The Contenders
11 Take California (DJ Alfie Remix) - Propellerheads

Features a horrible rap intervention which makes me feel like punching someone. Probably the DJ.

12 Animals (Big Boi Remix) - Maroon 5
13 I Remember (Shiba San Remix) - Deadmau5

To bring this masterpiece down to the level of poppy deep house makes you want to destroy things.

14 Payphone (Wiz Khalifa Remix) - Maroon 5
15 Two Minds (David Zowie Remix) - Nero

This remix tore the original version apart and smeared it in crap. Nero had made a funky, heavy, beautiful and meaningful electrohouse track, as awesome in a bar as it is in a club. It was incredible. Now we have a remix which strips it of the dark bass which defines Nero, and covers it with a pathetic attempt at making bass house, including on top of an irregular and tacky deep house beat. What's worse is how the lyrics of this song were jumbled to completely change the meaning of the song. Nero's albums have each told a post-apocalyptic romantic thriller with the songs combined, and it is that which makes them so entertaining and enticing, and it should not be trifled with. Now we have a cheesy, generic lust ballad that drags it down to the level of the pointless pieces you hear everyday. I can go on and on about how this disgusting remix has absolutely butchered a brilliant song by a brilliant band, but I can't even put into words how irate I am about this absurdity in mankind's ...more

16 Pyramid Song (Zeds Dead Illuminati Remix) - Radiohead

Why would you remix Pyramid Song out of all songs?

17 My Favorite Things (Ariana Grande Remix) - Julie Andrews
18 Summertime Sadness (Cedric Gervais) - Lana Del Rey

It just doesn't fit the song at all making it a dance song.

19 Say So (Nicki Minaj Remix) - Doja Cat

Easily one of the worst.

20 Cruise (Pop Remix) - Florida Georgia Line
21 Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites (Phonat Remix) - Skrillex

The worst remix of the song. The other remixes were badass

22 The Hills (Lil Wayne Remix) - The Weeknd
23 Sugar (Nicki Minaj Remix) - Maroon 5
24 Maps (Big Sean Remix) - Maroon 5
25 Self Control (Classic Summer Mix) - Laura Branigan
