Elvis vs JXL

Post by bort8 »

anyone here heard the new remix of Elvis' "A Little Less Conversation" by JunkieXL? i think its fantastic, i cant get enough of it...it was used in england (where im at right now) for a nike soccer commerical for the world cup. people actually still buy singles over here, so i figured id pick one up for myself since i cant download squat on this connection. but really, check it out...good stuff

"baby, i wish you were my baby,
ill make u make a baby,
let's make electric power,
in fear u should not cower,
cuz girl i will protect u,
i promise not to sex u,
and IiiiiIiiiiIiiiiiiIiiiiiIiiiiii...." - Dudez a Plenti

"all by myself
cause I don’t want to drag you down, hold you down
cause you’re a friend
i blame myself
i guess you think it’s funny now, funny now
it's such a shame..."

Fucking annoying, and yes people do buy singles over here. It kind of makes sense to have a singles chart based on the singles that people buy.

Finally, a dutch artist (Junkie XL, not Elvis) on top of the charts. Too bad I don't like the song, but that goes for almost all dutch music (except Silkstone and a couple of others)

Are you insulting Elvis? I didn’t think that was possible but you sir have proved me wrong, now I must kill you unless of course I read that wrong somehow and therefore misinterpreted it meaning it was not an insult toward the all mighty Elvis. Which in that case I will retract my above statement, otherwise I stand by my previous comment

The video was awesome with the soccer players... fr the first month of its release they were using that commercial as the video and it was amazing, but they've changed it since and its now it's not nearly as good...
I can't wait until the day schools are over-funded and the military is forced to hold bake sales to buy planes.

When i first saw the soccer video for it....i was sooooo blown away. It was f*cking amazing! It I wasn't even paying attention to the song...just the video and those really kool soccer players. Very sWeEt...

the next time i saw the vid i actually listened to the song and it wasn't that bad. It's like the kind of song u listen to when u wash the dishes or something. Ok--go ahead, u can laugh at me now :roll:
