I heard this in Forever 21 (yes i'm a girl) and none of the staff knew who it was by so I google the lyrics and it turned out to be DAM FUNK!!! I saw him in Sydney a couple months back and the man is amazing live! <3 him!!!
This remix was one of my favorite songs to listen to last summer, which is pretty impressive to me considering I thought the original version was really irritating. I have like 65% respect for Animal Collective lol. Sung Tongs was a cool album and in general they make some beautiful melodies but they have absolutely nothing to say. It's like, come on, you guys are adults now... Please stop singing about high school shit.
Prefer the original, if only because that one synth drum that sounds like a muffled gunshot repeating over and over again gets kind of tired. The ambience is nice otherwise, though.
I think this remix is brilliant. No lies. I swear, I love it so much. Of course, the original had it's own magic. But this is more summery. I've actually listened to this remix more than I've listened to the original song.
Wow, I love what Dam-Funk did with this AC classic. He infused their style with kind of an outer-space-dance-funk feel to it. Reminds me of Galaga for some reason....lol. :) haha.
Frickin NERDS! This is a good remix. If you really KNOW music, you can tell that he studied the song and made an entirely new track based on the original. It's well arranged, super melodic, and takes ANIMAL COLLECTIVE into new territory. This is what remixes are intended for. Quit being so protective of the band. Hell, if it sucked I don't think the band would've allowed it to be released, let alone making it as the A side of the single. Relax already and soak up the sun.
Yeah no. It's a fucking boring remix, the drums are flat and dull, the texture of the song has been replaced with dull arpeggiated synth, the only thing that holds it together it all it the lovely tone of the original vocals. The glorious shift between verse and chorus has been toned down until it's barely noticable. A minus minus, would not listen again.
the reason why people can't remix A.C. properly is because the music doesn't need remixed in the first place. Although i would like to here richard d. james do something with it. that might be cool. heck, even daft punk
Yeah bro, I'm sorry I came to an open forum and expressed an opinion that you didn't agree with. Sorry I'm not fucking Pitchfork Media or SPIN magazine. Maybe next time a great band releases a shitty boring album I'll be more willing to suck their dicks like they (and you) are so eager for.
well whatever. I do prefer the new sounds they are making. You see, I'm a Beach Boys freak and these new sounds are very progressive and fresh. A.C. are one of the best bands out there today. period.
Do i really have to explain myself here? I am merely comparing the fact that both bands were(are) way ahead of their time. Don't be dense. I'm done here so if you want the last word, go for it. I take comfort in knowing there are those out there that agree with me.

Some people will just never understand the funk. It is the same people who can't dance.

i'd appreciate this remix more if the drum levels were synced better, they make what would have been a decent remix sound cheap.

I love that Avey's voice doesn't have any effects on it, unlike the original version.

If they are so progressive why the Beach Boys throwback?
