[Nathey15]

BEAT ME TO IT!!! I ONLY SPOTTED THE CONNECTION THE OTHER DAY >< FUMING!!!

[mgeorge733]

Watching them live at Glastonbury last year, I kept thinking of Wicked Game when they where playing this tune! Good Idea!

[hoyls91]

is there anywhere to download this from.. sounds good

[HolaHolitaHamigo00]

It's like listening to two songs making love.

[LadieChubbs]

@HolaHolitaHamigo00 LOL

[BloodSpade1984]

@floatinggiraffedj ive thought of something that i think would be interesting.... The XX and Florence & the Machine both cover "You Got The Love", i wanna hear them combined, what do you think?

[biglokote1991]

@BloodSpade1984 yea i thnk so...it b good..

[MaryPoppinsRapedMe]

@BloodSpade1984 yes. yes. yes. YES!

[floatinggiraffedj]

@MaryPoppinsRapedMe :) glad you like it! (did Mary Poppins really do that?!)

[MaryPoppinsRapedMe]

@floatinggiraffedj glad you made it :)

yeah she did.. and she ran away on her umbrella before the police came.. if u have any info you should contact me or call 911.

[treeborn1]

@BloodSpade1984 The XX dont cover it im afraid, they have remixed the florence and the machine version with a little of the original as well. JTLYK

[EdM6]

wow

[Aneshaoranma]

Thats absolutely brilliant! first time i heard Infinity, Wicked Game came straight to mind! but i didnt expect someone woud mash them up as good as this!!!

[essential13]

OMG what a great tune, well done floatinggiraffedj!

[blkmgk16]

Nice job! take it you've been on stereogum before this sounds like a team9 remix! you should keep em coming see if its just beginners luck or what :p

[davidgeorge31]

@floatinggiraffedj What an effort.  This is actually pitch-perfect. Thankyou for creating this, Mr. Giraffe.

[troublefist]

Glad to know that I wasn't the only one who thought there was similarities between those two.

[skydritz]

Whoever mashed these 2 up is a genius!!

[Collins1990]

I always thought these 2 sounded similar, but didn't want to be the only nutter to suggest it.

[cornishcactus]

really started to work for me in the second half, the first bit was close but just a little too much like i'd started 2 vids at once with Chris crashing over the XX lyrics, but the strings were perfect.

[superepicfuntime]

honestly i just bobbed my head for like 5 minutes and 26 seconds

[jontyronny]

Love the last min and half the most, the fade-out is pure genius well done :)

[Moforize]

well done! the first time I heard infinity, i thought that the XX had completely ripped off chris isaak's wicked game! which is pretty true...  the two have exactly the same chords, sounds amazing together!

[MrJbo27]

Infinity's slow-strummed electric chords feel like late-period Radiohead. But xx is nervy and self-contained, mixed in with the calm relaxation of Chris Isaak is a brilliant, insightful mix

[l33tpSyCo]

I just found my new favorite chill jam. Great mix!

[sarahgroves]

Amazing!!!!

[bonganella]

This is a cucumberful song of morrible meatyness.

Bonganella approves

Horace xx

[exocet104]

As with previous comments, decided to google them both together to see if anyone else thought they sounded alike. Had no idea I'd find such a well produced and great sounding mix...

[kobik1970]

just to add, this is a very intelligent mix IMHO well done!

[kobik1970]

1:43 Blue Hotel ;)

[Kanwulf123]

Fuck it :/ i wanted to do this first

Hahahaha

nice job, though

Props!

[ArqCema]

i have the same idea by doing this they sound the same great connection

[LacedLoli]

I thought I was crazy when I was hearing infinity how much it sounds like wicked game but then I looked it up online and found it was a pretty common finding. Both songs are good though! :)

[odelyau]

that's so alike , nice one!

[ittaiman]

Both Isaak and the xx are superb...Don't believe it was a deliberate use of Isaak's sound.

[Autohypnotic]

@ittaiman Actually, The xx sampled from Chris Isaak's Wicked Game to create this song.
