What's a good song that someone remixed and made it terrible?

My choices are Flo Rida's remix of Etta James' "Something's Got a Hold On Me", and every remix Kesha has ever done in her life.

I cant think of one, but that sounds like 95% of remix

@lightningblue Most remixes are terrible, agreed. There's some good ones out there though.

@lightningblue I just did in the question I posted before this lol, the KMFDM remix of Mindless Self Indulgence's "Straight to Video" and DOTCOM's remix of "Hate Being Sober" by Chief Keef. Both of the original songs were horrible but the remixes were badass. One more example would be A-Trax remixing "Heads Will Roll" by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

The rarest occurrence of all however is making a good remix out of an already-good song. I can think of only one example I've ever heard in my life, and that's the Shibuya Soulwax remix of LCD Soundsystem's "Daft Punk is Playing at My House." Both the original AND the remix are great.

@lightningblue Here, I'll post them underneath.

Do you want the original and the remix, or just the remix?

@BlueMetalChick I hate the second, original and remix lol
the first one, I guess I got confused with the word "remix", thats more a cover to me

@lightningblue The second one's remix is only good cos it makes for hilarious "bass drop" videos. That's why I like it. Otherwise, well, it's just trap music.
