This review is from: Horny As a Dandy (Audio CD)

Had to put in my 2 cents here. Purists are not the ones who will love this. If you don't like mashups, back away. If you do, this single is worth having.

"Horny Like a Dandy" is an amazing mashup which is rocking clubs around the world. Loo and Placido are some of France's most talented producer/DJs, and this song is one of their quite good ones. Yeah, perhaps it's not the best they ever did- but licensing a mashup is nearly impossible, and as a result producers release what they can. The end product is quite a bit nicer that your standard mp3 mashup- a CD single with three different mixes of the song, very nicely mastered, and a video as well. And regardless of what other reviewers may say, this is not an easy or lazy production. It is not easy to combine two different songs and make them sound like a completely new one. L+P do that here, seamlessly and with a lot of fun.

I never liked "Horny" either. In this context it's quite cool. Now, after listening to this single, I have a new respect for the vocalist, and I sing it to myself all the time, which is probably not good!

The Curmudgeon "Your life lacks purpose - my ... (Latveria) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Horny As a Dandy (Audio CD)

First things first - The Curmudgeon is a BIG fan of The Dandy Warhols. Got all the albums, seen them live - Courtney Taylor is a pefect front man - sexy, effortlessly cool and smart. He once commented that he didn't regret allowing "Bohemian Like You" to be used for a Vodaphone ad, because he bought his studio with the money. I only hope he's bought something equally nice for the money he must have received for this garbage.

So what is it, exactly? Well, it's one of those interesting-for-two-minute splicing of songs; this time Dandy Warhol's "Bohemian Like You", for the idiotic public the only song they ever released, and Mousse T's "Horny", that song you never wanted to hear again. And they're now together at last - just what no one on earth wanted.

It works well enough, I suppose, but then there are better (and worse) unofficial mixes out there (the Strokes "vs" Christina Aguilera, for example). Why this got greenlit as a single remains a mystery.

This is just a lazy, fairly uninspired remix. Take two well-established songs, take the music from one and put it behind the vocals of the other. Yawn - this got dull in 2004. And another thing, the title makes no sense; "Mousse T vs The Dandy Warhols - Horny As A Dandy?" No, no, no - if you're mixing "Horny" and "Bohemian Like You" shouldn't it be "Horny Like You", or even "Horny As A Bohemian?" God, even the TITLE sucks.

Mousse T can be inducted into the Official Room 101 of Amazon no problem at all. But inducting The Dandy Warhols? We're not loving that one bit. Still, it's not as if Courtney et al actually had anything to DO with this.

Let's just picture him receiving yet another fat cheque for this song, and hope one day the moronic public will actually buy something else the Warhol's bring out.
