Wings! At the Disco

So, I just listened to two of the seemingly endless supply of dance remixes of Gustavo Santaolalla's "Wings". As y'all probably know, "Wings" was the centrepiece of Gustavo's Academy Award winning score for Brokeback Mountain. So of course a bunch of idiots decided that it'd be fun to take all the emotion out of it and make it a lame dance track for the dancefloor. They couldn't even stick a big black soul diva over the top to sing about lost love or something like that. That could at least be campy fun (see: The Young Divas), but the ones I listened to... well, you could barely tell it was even "Wings" (they were both stretched out to something bordering on an ungodly 10minutes long). Anyway. I'm going out now to play The OC Scene It! game. Teehee.
