Alright, here is a remix of the songs Zdarlight and Bucky Done Gun by Joachim Garraud and/or Axwell? I edited the video about a year ago. Sorry about low quality, I couldn't find a high quality video to work with. The video was ~3 minutes and the song was ~5 minutes. It's never easy editing when the song is longer then the video! Anyway, I think it turned out alright.

-----------------------------------------

"Bucky Done Gun" is the third single from M.I.A.'s critically acclaimed album Arular. It is written by Maya Arulpragasam and Wesley Pentz and produced by Diplo, with additional production by A. Brucker, P. Byrne and Wizard. The track samples heavily from Deize Tigrona's baile funk song "Injeção." Both "Injeção" and "Bucky Done Gun" sample the horns from "Gonna Fly Now" (the theme song from Rocky), composed by Bill Conti.
M.I.A. performed the song on May 3, 2005 on Jimmy Kimmel Live. "Bucky Done Gun" was included in the soundtrack of NBA Live 06, but renamed and re-edited as "Bucky Done."

The music video for "Bucky Done Gun" was directed by Anthony Mandler. It features Arulpragasam rapping aggressively against a desolate wasteland, erratically interspersed with scenes of her performing live in an underground nightclub, filmed in an artsy, guerrilla style. The video is also mixed with images of teenagers throwing grenades of smoking colour at buildings; Arulpragasam's live backup singer Ms. Cherry provocatively grinding against a chain-linked fence and giggling children playing in dirty streets and damp landscapes.
[edit]Song title meaning

In an interview with Ashlene Nand, M.I.A. was asked "what the hell does Bucky Done Gun mean?". Her response was:
I dont know!! (Laughs) I really dont know. At the time, the concept that I was thinking of was how far we are going to go with gangster culture in rap music. Thats really what I was thinking about. I was thinking about 50 Cent. It started off as Public Enemy and ended with 50 Cent. What was that journey (for rap music) and how did that happen? In London, Bucky is a slang word for gun. Its a real British, Grime_(music) word. So I was thinking, what is the aftermath of gangster rap? Were they going to get into therapy?

Mathangi "Maya" Arulpragasam (Tamil: மாதங்கி 'மாயா' அருள்பிரகாசம்) (born 18 July 1975), better known by her stage name M.I.A., is a British songwriter, record producer, singer, fashion designer, and artist of Sri Lankan Tamil origin.
An accomplished visual artist by 2002, M.I.A. came to prominence in early 2004 through file-sharing of her singles "Galang" and "Sunshowers" on the Internet. She released her Mercury Prize-nominated debut album Arular in 2005. Her second album, Kala, was released in 2007 and gained her mainstream chart success. She has been nominated for two Grammy Awards and an Academy Award.
Her compositions have been noted to encompass various genres, often with political lyricism and artwork. M.I.A. has described her music style as being "other." In addition to her work as a graphic designer, providing artwork and photography for releases and as a director of music videos, she has also experimented with documentary film and in 2008 released a collection of her fashion designs. She is the founder of the record label N.E.E.T.
In 2009, the TIME magazine placed M.I.A in the Time 100 list of "World's Most Influential people" for having "global influence across many genres"

  • remember listening to this bootleg in one of Joachim Garraud's podcasts back in 2006. Good ol' dayz :))

  • There's one remaining local store to the chain I bought like 60% of my cd collection from that's on temporary hiatus. Even the one Delaware location one that expanded out of my state is closed now so best advice ever; try to help your local businesses if you have the means to. They'll be gone one day if you don't. I prefer this remix because I adore Digitalism - Zdarlight. This was in the sidebar when I closed my old youtube because I killed it then too. Hope others leave words or their story.

  • I wish this had way more comments of glowing words than it does but we don't always get our way. I get to mark it with my life for the loss. :) Out of every female artist, M.I.A. is the one my life matches the most for so many reasons. First time I bought Arular it was stolen like 2005 and I bought it again Jan. 12, 2006 and that quick. I was like she's going to change music when it was becoming big here and meh $72.39 and 6 cd's bought and people still ask me why Arular is kept where it is. :)

  • @jlalewicz Its by brazilian baile funk singer Deise Tigrona, the song is called Injeção... I wouldn't search for it if I were you, because it's horrible LOL

  • @hapoza I know this version is a remix of 'her' original but no idea there was a version before..I stand corrected then:)

  • @Legvaan you right

  • @jlalewicz You know Bucky Done Gun is a version/cover/remix/whatever from another song, right? And the original sucks, so, yes, there are better things than the original!

  • @helloaly26 No WAY...but a nice remix...NOTHINGS better than the original:)

  • great clip .. keep it up thanks

  • In my opinion the song starts at 1:14 ;)

    don't waste your time :p
