  1. Je T’aime…Moi Non Plus by Donna Summer

    Thank God It’s Friday is the forgettable film about the disco nightlife club world. It has a pretty good soundtrack of music by such artists as Thelma Houston, Diana Ross, Commodores, Cameo, Santa Esmeralda and of course several tracks by Ms. Donna Summer. The big hit on the soundtrack is of course Last Dance. There’s two versions the regular and of course the reprise version just before the last track on the soundtrack – Je T’aime…Moi Non Plus. This of course is the classic 60s French track by Serge Gainsbourg and featuring the great voice of his wife Jane Birkin.

    Unfortunately the Donna Summer version which clocks in at 15 minutes and 36 seconds (pretty long for a track) doesn’t do anything for me. I love Donna Summers music especially the song I Feel Love – a true classic electronic disco masterpiece produced by the king himself Giorgio Moroder but unfortunately this remake just sucks! It sucks just like the film it’s from and it’s unfortunately really, really long so I just skip it. Well I don’t really listen to it.

    What do you think of the two versions? I love the original. You?

  2. Planet Rock by Paul Oakenfold/Afrika Bambaata

    This update by Paul Oakenfold is for the film Swordfish starring John Travolta, Halle Berry and Hugh Jackman. It’s not a perfect film but was fun at the time. I love the remixes of Planet Rock much better than the film though. I like the simple yet great update by Paul Oakenfold the Swordfish Mix and of course the Litman and Cox Club Mix which is loud, fast, bouncy and all over the place.

    The original is still a classic and I still listen to it but these remixes still sound fresh even though they came out back in 2001 – almost ten years ago. Boy time flies and if remixes like these still sound fresh that’s all that matters.

    What do you think of the 2 newer versions compared to the original vocal version from back in the early 80s? I pick the Litman & Cox remix as it’s quite different from the original and even the Swordfish remix is quite similar to the original. You?
