Given all the weird novelty disco music that came out during the late 1970’s, this remix doesn’t seem too out of the ordinary.

This works pretty good, but what if there was like some early new wave sprinkled in?

The backing vocals at the beginning, “Choo Choo! Cha Cha!” Laughed so hard it hurt.

Would I be showing my age if I brought up the "soft ballads", "heavy hair hits", best of hip hop", etc all with multiple editions like "best love songs of all time, no. 24"?
"Available on cassette and cd! Act now while supplies last. Operators are standing by to take your order."

Well, I could see myself paying for an album with full songs. My wife gets a kick out of them too. I think it would be fun to see people react when they realize what they are hearing.

In addition to my previous comment, I am not ashamed to admit that I watched this C&D masterpiece RUINOUS amounts of times now. It makes me feel like jumping on a table and bashing someones or maybe my own head with a tray. When the lines "But That Train Keeps A-Rollin'
On Down To San Antoooone" are sung after 0:20 to this mindblowingly slapped bass I want to jump on the heads of the rioters and do some substantial crowdsurfing. The way Johnny Cash lifts himself on his toes when reaching "Antoooone", priceless. Does YouTube have a repeat A-B function?
